Version History
You can see all your website versions in your Google Sheet.
File -> Version History -> See Version History

You can see all your changes and you can revert back to any of them. It might be very useful when you accidentically meesed-up your website. To do it select a version and press restore in the top left corver.

Filters
There are two types of filters:
- Single filters
- Multi filters
- Dropdown (Single)
- Dropdown (Multi)
You can switch or hide them in the Layout tab.
Single Filters
Users can filter your cards by one single creteria. For example a brand name.

How to use:
- Layout tab -> Filters -> Single Filter
- Filters tab -> Add filter button names only unique
- Cards tab -> Filtering by this column -> Add filters with the same names as you named the filters buttons in the previus steps
Multi filters
Users can filter your cards based multiple creterias. For exampe "Brand Name" AND "Type" AND "Style" AND "Price"

How to use:
- Layout tab -> Filters -> Multi Filter
- Filters tab -> Add unique filter button names.
- Cards tab -> Filtering by this column -> Add filters names for each card (comma separeted) with the same names as you named the filters buttons in the previus steps. Exaple: Audio-Technica, Over-ear, DJ
Filters Formatting

If you have a lot of filters you might want to distinguish them for better visibility.
The best way to distinguish each of the group by a line break.
For example you have 2 groups of For exampe "Type" and "Brand Name"
Add an empty row with a space into your
Filters
tab between filters that you want to have a line break.
The row should not be just empty. You need enter a space
" "
inside:
You can add as many line breaks as you want. For example of you have 5 groups of filters just so add an empty row with a space between each of the,

Dropdown (Single)

Also you can add category names to each dropdown. Just add
Category-Brand
in the filter name. 
Dropdown (Multi)

They are working the same as Multi filters

Stripe
How to connect Stripe to your Sheet2Site website
To be able to use Stripe you need to have a Stripe account and create a Google Form first, so you can get user's email and additional information that you need.
Just to let you know that the form response will be saved only if the payment will be successful, in other words if the users cancelled the payment, the data that he entered in the form will not be saved in the form as a response (and Google Sheet), but you will be able to see this data in your Stripe cancelled transactions as meta data.
Please follow these steps to connect Stripe to your website:
-
Create a Google Form
, connect it to your website and save the Google Form link.
Link should looks like this (for edit Google Form not for preview it):

-
Short links:
- Create Stripe Publishable Key and Secret Key .
- Define price and currency, for example 99 USD.
Text Formatting
To make your content look better, you can format it with basic HTML Syntax. You can add titles, lists, images, links and more by inserting these HTML tags in your Google Sheet, which will be displayed on your website.
For example let's say that you want to format your vacancy description:

You can add this code snippen to your decription:
<div> <h3>We would like to hear from you if you have...</h3> <ul> <li>A deep understanding of Agile frameworks and Lean principles, at the level of the principles and values, to enable appropriate application as well as innovation</li> <li>A strong ability to understand complex systems, relentlessly managing the technical and business risk landscape, anticipating and mitigating emerging issues </li> <li>Experience facilitating and leading continual planning processes in a complex and exciting environment </li> <li>Proven experience on achieving goals and hitting deadlines, based on company-wide objectives, regardless of the obstacles</li> <li>An ability to facilitate, catalyse and lead organisational change and transformation, drawing on change management, organisation culture, organisation development and systems thinking</li> <li>A high level of emotional intelligence, excellent communication skills, ability to listen with empathy and enable people to act by increasing insight</li> <li>You’re excited to be part of the vibrant Delivery Community at Improbable, challenging and improving processes to increase the effectiveness of a team or division.</li> </ul> </div>
Import JSON
A lot of good structured data is available through APIs like weather, ratings, currency rates and many more. APIs give you this data in JSON format and now it's possible to import JSON data directly into Google Sheet.
To be able to do it you need a custom function that called
ImportJSON
- Open your Google Sheet -> Tools -> Script Editor
-
Rename it to
ImportJson.gs
- Delete the placeholder content
- Copy this script
-
Paste to your script and save it (click save icon)
-
Go back to your sheet and try to call the function from your cell:
=ImportJSON("http://date.jsontest.com", "/date", "noInherit, noTruncate")
You should see something like this:
