Manage your storefront blog

Who is this article for?

• Gegsy merchants who want to publish news, updates, and stories on their storefront blog.
• Owners and employees with the Blog permission.

About the storefront blog

The storefront blog lets you write and publish posts on your Gegsy storefront. Each post has a title, a URL slug, a rich-text body, an optional cover image, tags, an excerpt, a publish date, and its own SEO and social settings. Posts appear on your storefront under /blog/ once published.

You manage everything from Storefront → Blog (https://app.gegsy.com/storefront/blog): the list of posts lives here, and each post opens its own full-screen editor.

Before you begin

• Available on the Pro and Premium plans. See Gegsy pricing for details.
• Access is gated by the Blog permission. Account owners have it by default and can grant it to employees from the team settings.

Browse and search your posts

Open Storefront → Blog to see all your posts as cards. Each card shows the cover image (or a placeholder), the post title, its URL (/blog/ followed by the slug), the excerpt, any tags, the last-updated date, and a status badge:

• Draft — not yet published.
• Published — live on your storefront.
• Unpublished Changes — published, but you've made edits since that aren't live yet.

To find a post, type into the Search posts... box at the top left. Search matches the title, slug, and tags. As you scroll, more posts load automatically. If you haven't written anything yet, you'll see an empty state with a Write Your First Post button.

Create a new post

1. From Storefront → Blog, click New Post (or Write Your First Post if your blog is empty).
2. In the New Blog Post dialog, enter a Title (for example, Our Grand Opening).
3. The URL Slug fills in automatically from the title, shown after the /blog/ prefix. Edit it if you want a different URL — slugs are lowercased and non-letter/number characters become hyphens. The slug must be unique; if it's already in use, you'll be asked to choose another.
4. Optionally add Tags as a comma-separated list (for example, news, events, menu).
5. Click Create Post. The post is created as a draft and opens in the editor.

Edit a post

Click any post card to open its full-screen editor. The editor has a writing area in the center and a Post settings panel on the right.

• Title — type at the top of the writing area. While you haven't manually edited the slug, the slug keeps updating to match the title.
• Body — write in the rich-text editor below the title.
• Post settings panel — toggle it with the gear icon in the top toolbar. It holds the URL slug, excerpt, status, publish date, and cover image, plus a button to open SEO & social settings.

Use the back arrow in the top-left to return to the blog list at any time.

Saving

Your work auto-saves while you edit (a title is required for a save to go through). The top toolbar shows the current state — Saving..., Saved with a timestamp, Unsaved changes, or an error if a save fails. You can also click Save Draft to save immediately. The settings panel shows the Last saved time under Status.

URL slug, excerpt, and cover image

In the Post settings panel:

• URL slug — the post's address after the /blog/ prefix. Leave it blank to fall back to a slug generated from the title.
• Excerpt — a short summary (up to 300 characters) shown on blog cards and previews. The helper text notes: Used on blog listings. Falls back to the SEO description if left blank.
• Cover Image — click Add cover image to upload one. Once set, you can Replace or Remove it.

Set the publish date and schedule a post

In the Post settings panel, open the Status section:

• Publish status — choose Draft or Published.
• Publish date — pick the date and time the post should carry.

If you set a Publish date in the future, the editor shows a Scheduled for future note. A post with a future publish date stays hidden on your storefront until that date and time arrive — no manual step is needed once it's published with a future date. Set the date to now (or the past) to make a published post live immediately.

Publish a post

You can publish from two places:

• From the editor: click Publish in the top toolbar. The post is saved first, then published. A title is required — without one you'll see A title is required before publishing.
• From the blog list: on any post that isn't already published, click the upload icon on the card to publish it.

After you publish a post and then keep editing, its status shows Unpublished Changes until you publish again to push the latest version live. Remember that a future Publish date still controls when a published post actually appears on your storefront.

SEO and social settings

In the editor's Post settings panel, click SEO & Social Settings to open the SEO & Social Settings dialog. It has two tabs.

SEO tab:

• SEO title — up to 66 characters.
• SEO description — up to 300 characters. The hint reads: Describe this post for search engines. 50-300 characters.
• Tags — comma-separated.
• SEO Keywords — comma-separated keywords for search engines.
• Search visibility — choose Visible to search engines or Hidden from search engine results.

Social tab — controls how the post looks when shared on social media (Open Graph):

• Social page title — defaults to your SEO title via Same as SEO page title; uncheck to set your own.
• Social page description — defaults to your SEO description via Same as SEO page description; uncheck to set your own.

On the Pro and Premium plans you can also click Generate with AI to draft these fields from your post's title and content.

Delete a post

You can delete a post from the blog list. Click the trash icon on the post card, then confirm in the Delete Post dialog. Deleting a post can't be undone.
