Getly
A Getly Page is a free personal page at yourname.getly.page: one address you can put in a social bio, an email signature or a video description, with your products, your links and your work on it. The slow part of any page like this is the empty canvas. Templates remove it. Measured on 26 September 2026, 38.5% of published Getly Pages started from a template rather than from a blank page.
This guide walks through the whole path: claiming the address, choosing a template, checking what it filled in, and publishing. Everything below describes the editor as it is today, under My Page in your dashboard.
Step 1: Claim your address
Open My Page. The first screen is Claim your address. Type a handle: it becomes the part before .getly.page. The rules are checked as you type, the same rules the server applies: 3 to 30 characters, lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. A handle can be reserved, already taken, or refused because it belongs to another seller's store; each case has its own message, so you know which one you hit.
Pick the handle you would say out loud. It is the one piece of the page you cannot quietly change later: Change address works only while the page is a draft. A published page keeps its address, and to rename it you would have to unpublish first.
Step 2: Choose a template (there is no default)
Below the handle field sits Start from a template. Nothing is preselected, on purpose: the button Claim handle stays inactive until you pick a card. There are seven:
| Template | Theme | Blocks, in order |
|---|---|---|
| Designer | mono | Intro, Products, Gallery, Social links, Links |
| Author | paper | Intro, Text, Products, Reviews, Social links |
| Developer | mono | Intro, Products, Text, Links, Social links |
| Musician | warm | Intro, Media embed, Products, Social links, Tip jar |
| 3D artist | default | Intro, Gallery, Products, Social links |
| Coach / creator | warm | Intro, Text, Buy button, Social links, Links |
| Blank | default | Intro only |
Choose by what you want a visitor to see first, not by the name on the card. If your work is visual and your covers are strong, Designer or 3D artist put images near the top. If people buy from you because of who you are, Author and Coach lead with text about you.
Step 3: Know what the template fills in, and what it leaves out
A template does not write anything about you. It copies what your shop already holds and drops every block it has nothing to fill with. That is why two sellers on the same template can end up with pages of different lengths.
- Intro always exists. The name is your shop name. The tagline is the first sentence of your shop description, cut at a word boundary if it runs past 160 characters. If your description is shorter than 20 characters, the tagline becomes "Digital products by" plus your shop name. Your logo becomes the avatar and your banner the cover, when they are https images.
- Products appears if you have active products. If at least three of them have been downloaded, the six most downloaded are pinned; otherwise the block shows your latest products.
- Gallery takes up to six distinct product covers.
- Social links come from the social links in your shop settings, up to ten.
- Links holds your website; the Developer template also adds your GitHub profile.
- Text is your full shop description, and only appears if it is at least 20 characters long.
- Reviews appears only if your active products have reviews.
- Media embed (Musician) needs a YouTube or Spotify link in your socials that points to a specific video or track.
- Buy button (Coach) points at your most downloaded product.
- Tip jar (Musician) needs a pay-what-you-want product to ride on. Without one the block is left out.
The practical consequence: the ten minutes you spend on your shop settings before claiming the page are worth more than the ten minutes after. A shop with a logo, a banner, a real description and filled social links produces a full page from any template. A shop without them produces an Intro and not much else. You do not need a shop at all to have a page, but without one there are no products to fill in.
Step 4: Review, edit and save
After Claim handle the editor opens with the blocks already in place. Every block is yours to change. Open each one and read it the way a stranger would:
- Intro. Is the tagline a sentence someone would understand without knowing you? A first sentence written for a shop description ("Welcome to my store") rarely is. Rewrite it here.
- Section heading (optional). Any block can carry a heading. A page of five blocks reads better when the product grid says what it is ("My books", "Brushes and textures").
- Theme. The template chose a free theme; you can switch. Accent and page background colour are free too. A photo background and a custom domain are Pro.
- Use Add block for anything the template did not include. Blocks that need data you do not have yet are shown with a hint explaining what to add first.
If a block cannot show anything yet, the preview says so: "nothing to show yet, so visitors will not see this block". Take that literally; it is not a rendering glitch. Press Save when you are done.
Step 5: Publish
Press Publish. Two checks run, in this order.
Email. Publishing needs a verified email. If yours is not verified yet, the editor sends you a verification link; click it, return, and press Publish again. Accounts created with Google usually pass this step without an email.
The publish floor. The saved page needs an Intro with both a name and a tagline, plus at least one other block. If the Intro is missing either, the message is "Add a name and a tagline to your Intro block before publishing" and the editor scrolls to it. If the Intro is alone, it asks for one more block and scrolls to the block palette. The check reads the saved page, so save your edits before you publish.
If you already have an empty page
Pages created before templates existed, or cleared by hand, show a panel called Your page is empty with the same seven cards and a Use this template button. It only works on a page with no blocks and no unsaved changes, so a template can never overwrite work you have done. To start over on a page that has blocks, remove them, save, and the panel appears.
What to do today
Open your shop settings first and fill the four things templates read: logo, banner, a description whose first sentence describes what you make, and your social links. Then open My Page, claim a handle you are happy to keep, pick the template closest to how you sell, rewrite the tagline in your own words, and publish. Put the address in one bio before the day is out.
