Exporting and Publishing a Presell Page

Exporting

Export produces one file. Styles are inlined, images travel inside it, and there is nothing to upload separately and nothing pointing back at us that could break later. Put it anywhere that serves HTML.

A page with an unresolved red claim cannot be exported. That is the one gate on this path, and resolving it takes a source link, a rewrite into your own position, or a cut.

Connecting a site

Connecting happens in Presell settings, at the account level rather than per page, because a target is one site shared by every page you build. WordPress and Shopify are the two that publish a whole page rather than an item into somebody else's template.

It is deliberately two steps. The first call writes nothing and returns what is about to happen, including what that platform cannot do, so you find out before you commit rather than after you publish and look. Credentials are encrypted at rest, deleted when you disconnect, never logged, and never returned by a read.

• WordPress publishes a page and creates a template that suppresses the theme chrome.
• Shopify publishes a page into the store, within what the storefront theme allows.
• Disconnecting deletes the credential and keeps the row and its history.
• Every connector reports what it could not do rather than failing quietly.

Publishing and republishing

Publishing renders the page and sends it to the target. The result is recorded against the page, including the remote identifier, so the next publish knows it is the same page and updates it. A customer who fixes a typo and republishes must not end up with two pages competing for the same ad, and this is what prevents that.

Unpublishing takes the page back to a draft on your own site. Nothing is destroyed at either end, and the version history in Presell is untouched by anything that happens on the far side.

Images travel with the page. A published page that pointed at images we hold would break the moment anything on our side moved, so the assets are uploaded to your site with it.

What to check after the first publish

Open the page on your own domain and read it. Themes differ, and what a storefront wraps around a page is not something we control on every platform. The publish result says what the connector could and could not do, and that sentence is worth reading before you point spend at the URL.

Then tag it. The measurement snippet goes on the new page and on the page it is replacing, which is the only arrangement in which the comparison means anything.
