There is a new feature offered that would allow you to edit your website while in “Preview” mode rather than going directly into the website editor.
You can try this by following these steps below:
- Log into your DistributorCentral account
- Go to Website Menu> Add/Edit Websites
- Click on Edit to the Right of your website
- Here at the top right you will see a new Preview link. It will say “Edit/Preview“
When your Preview window opens, you can hover your mouse over your content and it will turn yellow. If you click on any of that content, the system will open up the website editor to the area where you can make that change.
When you save that change, the editor window will close and the preview will refresh automatically.
Remember to Publish Your Changes.

DistributorCentral has added a new payment type “Proof Request Only” which you can add in addition to “Credit Card” which can help get orders from your website closed at a higher rate (see image below). If you apply this payment type, you will have to ask your customer for credit card info after the proof has been approved. Some distributors have decided it is better to get to a proof than to require credit card info on all orders.
To apply this new payment type:
- Go to the Account menu
- Select Payment and then Payment Setup
- Move over the Request Proof Only preference (see image below)
- Click on Save, you will not need to publish your website
