Shopping Cart
Before adding the shopping cart to the page, you need to import the Data-Map
Content Table into Drumbeat that works with the Shopping Cart elements. The
Data-Map tells the shopping cart which database columns (fields) to get data from
and which to update. It also tells the Shopping Cart display SmartElement what
to display on the page. Once you have imported the Data-Map you can set up the
shopping pages.
Here are the major steps for adding products to a Shopping Cart:
Import and customize the Data-Map. There are actually several different
Data-Maps to choose from depending on the features you want in your
shopping cart. The Data-Map CSV files can be found in the Drumbeat
program files directory. If you installed Drumbeat in the default location the
directory path will be:
C:\Program Files\Drumbeat 2000\estoreBuilder
BasicShoppingCart.csv: Includes only required fields. Does not include weight
tracking or line-item discount handling.
ShoppingCart_WeightTracking.csv: Includes the weight-related columns so
you can do weight-based shipping.
ShoppingCart_Discounts_NoWeight.csv: Includes the columns needed to
handle line-item discounts without the weight-related columns.
ShoppingCart_Discounts_WithWeight.csv: Includes columns for discounts
and weight to enable both line-item discounts and weight-based shipping.
