Using Podia with Your Existing Website
Integrating your existing website with Podia is easy and can be set up in a matter of minutes.
Here are a few ways to make both platforms work together to your advantage!
Add a Link to Your Existing Website Header
Whether you are using WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or another platform, chances are your website does have a header.
A website header sits at the top of each page and serves a few very important purposes, such as linking to other pages and websites.
You can add a link to your Podia website in your existing website header.
Here are a few step-by-step guides on how to add/modify website headers on a couple of the most popular platforms:
Link to Podia Product Pages
This is a simple and easy way to "connect" Podia to your existing website.
Sharing Podia product page links will send people from your website directly to your product sales pages here on Podia.
It also has the added SEO benefit of linking between your existing and Podia websites.
Navigate to your products page by clicking on Products.
On this page, locate the product you'd like to share, then click on the "..." button followed by Share product.
From there, you can copy the available links!

It's super easy to add an embedded email form to an external site.

From there, you'll be able to add tags to subscribers that subscribe via the embedded form and you'll also see the HTML code you need to paste it on your external site.
Note: If you'd like to customize the embedded email capture form, you'll need to use custom CSS.
