Configuring your Shopping Cart provider
A number of different shopping cart providers can be configured within
WebPlus. These are the most commonly used and some, like PayPal©, you
may have come across directly as an eBay© customer. The configuration
process directs you to the provider's own web site from where you can sign-up
as a registered user.
Use the provider's web site to find out more about unique shopping
cart features.
To setup a site-wide shopping cart provider:
1. Click the
Configure E-Commerce button on the Web Objects
toolbar's e-commerce flyout.
2. From the E-Commerce Configuration dialog, you have two options
depending on if you are an existing or new user of one of the shopping
cart providers, i.e.
• If you're a new user, choose a shopping cart provider by enabling its
radio button, then click the Sign Up Now button. The provider's web
site is shown in a new browser window from where you can register
with the shopping cart provider.
• If you're an existing user, enable the button next to your chosen
provider, and click Next>. This option simply sets the default
provider for your web site (rather than set up a provider account).
3. The subsequent dialog is provider-specific and may show offline testing
options, window selection, store IDs, currency options and/or tax choices.
4. Click the Finish button to complete shopping cart configuration.
As an example, choosing PayPal let's you define a email address to receive
payments, or use a "Sandbox", a test tool, for trying out your shopping cart
before going live (otherwise you may start making money before you're
ready!). Click the Tell Me More button to setup a separate Sandbox login in
addition to your "live" PayPal login.
Once you've configured the shopping cart, you need to Insert an e-commerce
object (see p.
201).
