We all want our brands to stand out, and that sometimes involves using custom fonts. If you’re such a person, you will find that Kartra is limited in this respect.
However, there are some workarounds for adding custom fonts to the platform. Here’s what I found out.
Key Takeaways:
- Kartra has a standard selection of Google fonts available
- You can’t import additional fonts
- Add custom fonts by applying CSS code or using a third-party tool
Which Fonts Are Available in Kartra?
If you’re looking for something other than the usual Google fonts in Kartra, you’ll be disappointed. While a good selection of fonts is available, they are pretty much what you’d find anywhere else.
This limitation is a problem if you use a custom font or one not supported by the platform because you’ll quickly notice that there isn’t a feature for uploading your own fonts.
Does this mean you have to change your branding to Roboto and just put up with it? (Kartra LOVES Roboto for some reason.)
The quick answer is “no.” However, while you can add custom fonts to Kartra, it’s not particularly straightforward and, in most cases, costs money.
2 Ways to Add Custom Fonts to Your Kartra Pages
If you’re determined to break free from Roboto and its Google font friends, here’s how to do it.
1. Use a Third-Party Tool
KCSG Tools is a third-party browser plugin that enhances the functionality of Kartra. Within it is a tool that adds custom font capabilities to the platform.
Essentially, the plugin allows you to upload any font you want and then apply it to any text on your Kartra pages.
This option costs money, though, and the price depends on whether or not you want to use the rest of KCSG’s features:
- If you use the free version of KCSG, you can add custom fonts for a one-time cost of $79.
- Custom fonts are included with the Pro and Agency versions of KCSG:
- Pro: $15/month or $149/year
- Agency: $59/month or $599/year
2. Add CSS Code
The second way to add custom fonts is not for the faint-hearted. And, if you’re not a coder, you may want to leave this method well alone because it involves applying CSS code.
To find where to do this, head to the page editing tool. Click on the “Styles” tab and select “Custom Styles.” A big ol’ black box will appear—this is where you enter your code.
I reached out to Kartra customer services about this, and they offered the following advice:
- First, clone your page and test the code in the clone. This clone ensures you have a backup in case the code you add breaks something critical.
- Test the page and the functionality of the code extensively to make sure it’s working as expected. If it’s not, remove the code.
Kartra also warned they cannot provide support for any difficulties you might encounter from using custom code, so keep that in mind.
