Welcome to Bowtackle Edge – the simple, powerful way for archery and fishing dealers to add a full-featured online store to your existing website. No need for complex setups or costly developers. Just integrate our iframe snippet and start monetizing your web traffic today!
What is Bowtackle Edge?
Bowtackle Edge is an easy-to-install iframe code snippet that embeds your very own Bowtackle store directly into your website. As a dealer-driven digital marketplace, Bowtackle ensures that all transactions, customer interactions, manufacturer relationships, and innovative features flow through you – the dealer. This means you retain full control while providing your customers with a seamless shopping experience for archery and fishing gear.
Most archery and fishing dealers don't have e-commerce capabilities on their sites yet. Bowtackle Edge changes that by turning your website into a revenue-generating hub without overhauling your current setup.

How to Install Bowtackle Edge
Installing Bowtackle Edge is straightforward and typically takes just a few steps. You'll need access to your website's backend or help from your web developer/hosting provider. Follow these instructions to get up and running.
Step 1: Set Up the DNS Entry
To ensure secure and reliable embedding, create a CNAME DNS record. This points a subdomain on your site to our hosting platform.
- Record Type: CNAME
- Name: bowtackle
- Value: whale-app-v3t4b.ondigitalocean.app
Once added, allow time for DNS propagation (usually 5-30 minutes, but up to 48 hours in rare cases). Verify the entry using tools like dig or online DNS checkers.
Step 2: Install the Iframe Code Snippet
After the DNS entry is live, add the following HTML code to the page where you want your Bowtackle store to appear (e.g., a dedicated "Shop" page).
HTML Code (Required)
<iframe id="bowtackle"
src="https://bowtackle.YourWebsiteDomainNameGoesHere.com/store/YourBowtackleStoreIdGoesHere"
allow="clipboard-write self https://bowtackle.YourWebsiteDomainNameGoesHere.com"></iframe>
CSS Code (Optional, but Recommended for Better Display)
Add this to your site's stylesheet or inline styles to make the iframe responsive and full-width:
#bowtackle {
width: 100%;
height: 80vh; /* Adjust height as needed for your layout */
}
Paste the HTML into your page's code (e.g., via your CMS like WordPress, or directly in HTML files). Refresh the page, and your Bowtackle store should load!
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the iframe doesn't load, double-check the DNS entry and ensure no typos.
- Test on multiple devices to confirm responsiveness.
