Getting started with Fanzone
The Shop Block
Learn how to showcase your products in your Fanzone with the Shop Block, from setup and AI-powered product import to best practices and use cases.
The Shop Block lets you showcase and promote your products directly in your Fanzone. Whether you sell jerseys, limited-edition drops, or partner products, it connects your online store to your fan engagement platform in just a few clicks.
What is it for?
The Shop Block is a visual module that highlights specific products from your online store. You can use it to:
- Promote official merchandising (match jerseys, collector items)
- Highlight exclusive drops or limited collaborations
- Redirect fans to your e-commerce platform (your own store, Nike, Fnac, etc.)
Fans discover and interact with your products in the same space where they play and engage, creating a seamless journey from activation to conversion.
Set up the Shop Block
- In the Builder, add a new Shop Block from the Block list.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Title (for example "New arrivals", "Official jerseys", "I want it")
- Shop link, by pasting the URL of your online store (for example store.psg.fr)
- Add or adjust the product visuals manually if needed.
- Customize the CTA button (for example "View the shop", "Buy") or hide it with the eye icon.
- Choose the Block behavior: open in a new tab, display as an overlay on the content, or replace the screen in full screen.
- Customize the Block style from the Style tab to match your visual identity.
Import your products automatically
By clicking the magic wand icon next to the shop link, you let the AI automatically import the latest featured products from your store. It retrieves:
- The product name
- The image
- The price
You can then adjust each visual manually to keep full control over the final result.
Best practices
- Use high-quality images and short, punchy titles
- Feature between 1 and 4 products for optimal visibility
- Update your offer regularly to keep your merchandising attractive
- Combine the Block with in-app messages or seasonal banners to drive traffic
Concrete use cases
If you want to launch a limited-edition drop
Showcase your drop in a dedicated Shop Block, with a punchy title and a Buy button. You can update the visuals and links at any time, even mid-season, without impacting the rest of your Fanzone.
If you want to promote an exclusive collaboration
Create a Block that presents your collaboration or seasonal campaign, with 1 to 4 flagship products and polished images to catch fans' attention.
If you want to redirect to an external store
Simply paste the URL of your club's official store or a partner store (Nike, Fnac, etc.) in the Shop link field, and choose whether the link opens in a new tab, as an overlay, or in full screen.
