Publitas Features

All our features in one neat overview.

Shopping cart and product page integration

Allow your customers to shop straight from your publication by integrating the product pages and the shopping cart from your online store.

Dynamic publications

Publish more frequently with Dynamic publications that are automatically generated from your product inventory.

Personalized promotions

Tailored to your customers’ demands in real-time, you can show the right products, to the right shoppers, at the right time and get happier customers that buy more.

Copy hotspots from another publication

Publishing a regional variation of your publication and don’t want to create hotspots from scratch? We’ve got you covered. With Publitas you can easily copy hotspots from one publication to another.

Track original source

When online publications drive traffic to your online store, seeing Publitas as the referrer in your analytics platform does not always tell the whole story. This is why we’ve made it possible to track the original source of your traffic (e.g. an affiliate site or one of your email campaigns). We do this by automatically taking the URL parameters (e.g. UTM tags) from your publication’s URL and adding them to all the links in your publication.

Access our API

Use our Viewer API to create custom integrations or use our REST API to automate PDF conversion, scheduling and publishing.

Manage multiple brands

Use groups to manage multiple brands or labels in one account. Each group can have its own settings, URLs, custom domain, branding options, Google Analytics and product feed integrations.

Team management

Add multiple users to your account. Each user has their own login credentials and can be set up as either an admin or a user.

RSS feed

Get an RSS feed of all your publications. You can use this to create an overview of your publications on a website or to publish your publications within a mobile app.

Code injection

Inject HTML or JavaScript code snippets in the head of your publications to integrate 3rd party tools or to create your own customizations.

Import product feed

You can import your web store’s product feed (XML or TSV) to add extra product information such as images, videos, and product descriptions to the products in your publication.

Edit product information

Simple editing options enable you to change the product information from your product feed or to manually add products that are not in your feed.

Scheduling

There’s no need to wake up in the middle of the night to publish your digital publication. You can easily schedule when you want your publication to be published online and when you want them to be taken down again.

Product view

The product view allows your customers to stay inside the online publication while browsing for more product information such as images, product videos, and in-depth product descriptions.

Multiple product view

It’s easy to add multiple products to the digital publication that can be opened with a single click. This is ideal for lookbooks and fashion publications as you can tag all the products that a fashion model is wearing.

Video

Enhance product descriptions in your digital publication with video, or add videos to any page of your digital publication to inspire and engage your customers even more.

Branding

Extend your brand experience to your online publications by adding a background image, background color, logo and favicon.

Custom domain

Publish your online publications on your own domain (e.g. publication.companyname.com) instead of view.publitas.com. And get a free SSL certificate to make sure you can offer a safe HTTPS connection to your customers.

Custom hotspot icons

Change the default hotspot icons for links, products, pages, or videos. Use any icon set you like, whether it’s one you found on the web or designed yourself.

Password protection

Add a password to any of your publications to prevent unwanted visitors from reading your content.

Intuitive navigation

When it comes to online publications, users spend most of their time browsing through pages. We wanted to create a digital publication that people love to use, so we focused on making sure that swiping through pages and zooming in would be an incredibly intuitive process.

Blazing fast

We’ve built the fastest online publishing software available today with HTML5. Everything from opening a digital publication to viewing different pages is faster than any other publishing service.

Making every pixel count

In designing our digital publications, we focused on the elements that really matter and made sure your content is responsively scaled to the user’s screen size. In doing so, we’ve created a product that fully uses the available space and lets your publications speak for themselves.

Designed for iOS & Android devices

Our online publications have been tailor made for desktops and mobile devices so you can inspire your customers on the most popular devices.

Touch optimized

To make sure your digital publications feel like any other native app on iOS and Android devices, our web app supports gestures. People can use spread and pinch to zoom in or out, swipe to browse through pages, and drag to navigate around a page while zoomed in.

Page overview

The page overview allows your customers to get a brief look at what they can find in your online publication. It also acts as a shortcut for quick navigation to a specific spread.

Links

By adding page references in your online publications, you can help customers quickly navigate to other pages in the publication. It’s also possible to add links to websites. These links can be used to link products in a digital publication to your online store, for example.

PDF download

If you’ve got a user that rather browses through a regular PDF, we’ve got you covered. A user can easily download the original PDF used to create a digital publication.

Print

It’s easy to print the pages of your digital publication. This helps users to print out coupons, images, recipes or just anything they like.

Share to social networks

Users can easily share the products in your digital publications to Facebook, Twitter, or via email.

Page flip effect

Amidst many of today’s modern designs, a wink to the past is sometimes exactly what we need. The page flip effect is one of those nostalgic features that will make your users smile.

Search

Users can search through the text of your online publication to find exactly what they want. A neat overview of the search results helps them go directly to the pages they need.

We take care of the technical stuff

You don’t have to install or download anything and you don’t have to worry about maintenance. You can log into our web app wherever and whenever you want to.

Forget about hosting

We host your publications. With an average uptime of 99.996%, we guarantee that your publications will always be available, regardless of how many people use them.

Online in three minutes

Creating an online publication is incredibly easy. All you have to do is drag and drop a PDF into our web app and your new digital publication will be available on desktops as well as iOS and Android devices.

Embed on your site

Display your publication on your website by embedding it in an iframe. This way your users don’t have to open a new window to view your publication.

 

Links

Click anywhere on your digital publication in the publication editor to add a link. This can be a page reference that links to another page in the publication or a URL to a website.

Automatic link detection

With this feature, any URLs, email addresses or existing links in your PDF are automatically detected and tagged with a link hotspot. This way you won’t have to manually recreate all your links.

Search engine optimized

When you upload a PDF, Publitas automatically extracts and optimizes its contents for all major search engines.

Multilingual

It’s easy to change the language and currency of all the buttons and tooltips in your publications. We currently support 40+ languages.

Real support, real people

We do our best to make sure that you don’t need our support at all. But for the rare cases that you do, we promise to give you the amazing service you deserve.

Connect to Google Analytics

Connect your online publications to your Google Analytics account to understand how customers use them.

Disable SEO

If you need your publication to be a bit more private, you can simply disable our SEO features and your publication will not be shared with Google. Only the people that know the URL will be able to access your publication.
