The first time you use Add/Modify Shopping, you will be asked to select which shopping
cart you are using and to provide your e-mail address. If you are using Pageville's
Shopping Cart, the program will connect to the Pageville server and get the shopping
cart ID. If you have multiple IDs associated with an e-mail, all the IDs will be retrieved
and you must select the correct ID on the Site Settings tab.
Make sure you have the button or image selected that you want to become
your buy button prior to clicking on Add / Modify Shopping.
- Item ID: The letters and/or numbers that you use to identify your product. Use
letters, numbers and dashes (hyphens) only. No spaces permitted. For example, if you
were selling furniture, your item ID might be CHutch-2D.
Check or uncheck the "Taxable" box for individual items that differ from
the default setting.
- Description: The name of the product as it should appear in the shopping cart.
To continue the above example, your description would be Corner Hutch with Two Doors.
- Price: The price before any taxes or shipping. Tax and shipping charges are
set up using the administration page.
- Shipping Amount: Enter an amount if additional shipping charges apply to this
product. This amount is product specific. If a flat shipping charge is used for
this product, then enter 0 (zero) for Shipping Measure. Enter values for both
Shipping Amount and Shipping Measure if the normal shipping charge also applies.
"Shipping Amount" will not show on your website if Product Specific
Shipping Charge is set to No (set using your Pageville Shopping Cart administration page).
- Shipping Measure: The Shipping Measure is the total weight of the item, if a
weight is used to determine the shipping price to be added to the order.
- Max Qty Decimal: The MaxQtyDecimal applies if partial units of measurement are
available for this product (i.e. 2.33 meters, 1.5 gallons). The value designates the number
of digits to the right of the decimal point. Default is zero.
- Frame: If your website uses frames, this field controls the frame in which the checkout will show.
OK: You must click on OK to apply the data and close the window.
Reset to Default: Sets Taxable to true, and Shipping Measure to Oz.
Cancel: Closes the window without applying the data.
- Shipping Measure: The weight (or other measurement) of the product used to
calculate the shipping charges. The default unit of measure is ounce.
Shipping unit must also be set up on the server using your Pageville
Shopping Cart administration page.
- Sales Tax: Set the sales tax default to true or false.
- BUY Button Methods:
- Stay Put - After clicking on a BUY button, your customers stay on that shopping
page. This is a good choice when your customers are likely to order more than
one item.
- Go to Checkout - After clicking on a BUY button, your customers automatically
proceed to Review and Checkout. Choose this when most customers will only
purchase one item.
- Add Pop Up - This option opens a separate pop up window, for example, a purchase confirmation
message or the review and checkout screen. With this option, set the size of the pop up window.
- Quantity:
- 1 with no edit - every time a customer clicks on a buy button, one
of that item is added to the shopping cart.
- Buyer can enter quantity - when the customer clicks on a buy button, the default
quantity of that item is added to the shopping cart, but the customer can change
the quantity.
- Shopping Cart Type: choices are
Pageville,
PayPal,
2Checkout and
NOCHEX
The Pageville Shopping Cart allows you to easily add attributes for each of the items you sell.
For example, if you are selling shirts, your attributes might be size, color, and pattern.
You will still have a single "Buy" button on your web page. When it is clicked, a
selection window will open with a drop down selection list for each attribute.
Each attribute has title, method, value, description and option fields. Leave title blank to omit.
Example input:
- Options: The options must be separated by vertical bars, "|".
(The vertical bar is usually found beside or below the backspace key on your keyboard.)
- Methods:
- DROPDOWN A dropdown list shows each of the options, one can be selected.
- RADIO Radio buttons allow the selection of one of the options.
- CHECKBOX Checkboxes can be used to select zero or multiple options.
- EDITABLE The customer can enter a quantity for an option. This
quantity does not get multiplied by the price. This allow merchants to
offer Six Packs, etc. The buyer can select more than one of this option.
- TEXTAREA This area allows buyers to enter text like an engraving message.
A single text field will be displayed if the ROW is set to 1 (see Values).
- Values: If the Method is set to TEXTAREA, then instead of "Value" you will see "ROW" and
"COL". Set the number of rows and columns for the area. Set ROW to one to
allow one line of text input.
The value for EDITABLE should be set to the desired text input width.
- Description: The description is displayed above the options.
Extended attributes are also available with advanced shopping carts. Extended attributes
can change the price of the item based upon the options chosen by the customer.

into the shopping cart with the BUY button(s). Normally the
Checkout buttons are placed on each shopping page at the
top and/or bottom of the page.
Make sure you have the button or image selected that you want to become
your checkout button prior to clicking on Review and Checkout Shopping.
(If you don't, nothing will happen.)
Enter your Shopping Cart ID to check for orders from your customers.
The Add Shopping Cart ID selection is a shortcut to the Site Settings dialog box. Once here
simply click on the Add Shopping Cart ID button to go to the online Shopping Cart Signup page.
FREE - A Shopping Cart ID simply allows you to test
the shopping cart that you have set up. You can
still demo the shopping cart, but in demo mode all testers use the same files. With
a Shopping Cart ID, you can demo with files unique to you. The only difference with a
paid shopping cart is the ability to retrieve customers' payment information.
(Hey, we have to pay for all this development somehow!)
Once you have defined the web page images for your online store, you must then
set up the server to process your transactions.
