If you would like certain products to appear on the store's welcome page, enter their store assigned unique record numbers. Up to 50 products can be entered by inserting a semicolon (;) in between each number. The products will be shown in the order you enter them.

These fields are optional and can be changed at any time.

The skin number you select defines a color and layout scheme that controls how your store will appear to the shopper. The different "skins" give your store different appearances.

Please select one of the available skins. This field is required and can be changed at any time.

This address is shown on all of the store pages and allows visitors to click on it and send you email. This field is required.

These addresses are used to notify the store owner and up to two other people that an order has been placed. These addresses are "private" and will NOT be displayed anywhere in the store nor will they appear in any email that is sent to customers.

When the Cell Phone Email Address field is not blank, the store will send a short email message to your cell phone to notify you that an order has just been placed in your store. You may also use the Send Time Range From/To fields to control when the text message will be sent to your cell phone.

If you have a valid SSL certificate installed on your web site that enables SSL for your domain name, then your should use (click "Yes") SSL for the administration part of the store.

CAUTION: if you turn on this feature and your web site does NOT have its own SSL certificate installed, you will NOT be able to access your store! Therefore, be sure your web site has its own SSL certificate installed before turning on this feature.

If you want this store to insert "hidden" search engine Meta Tags into all the store pages, then enter them into the field above. Leave this field blank if you do not want them included or if you are not familiar with how these tags need to be formatted.

Order Confirmation E-Mail

This setting tells the store which email format to use when sending confirmation email to your customers. The choices are: "Send as Plain Text" or "Send as HTML E-mail".

TIP: Since not all e-mail programs can read HTML e-mail text, it's recommended that you select the "Send as Plain Text" option.

IMPORTANT: If you choose "Send as HTML E-mail", be sure the email text fields below contain properly formatted HTML to allow the E-mail messages to display correctly.

Enter the text to thank the customer for their order, information about how long it takes to process the order, and a phone number and address to contact you if they have any questions about their order. This field is required.

This section contains information from the customer's order. The embedded "markers" are replaced with information from the customer's order. This field is required.

CAUTION: please review the online help BEFORE making any changes to this field.

The "Send Test Email To" field is used to test the order confirmation email system. When this field contains an email address, the store will send a sample Order Confirmation Email to the address (when you update this page). In order for the test email to work, you must have at least one customer order in your store database.

Here are some common "sendmail paths" to try:

/usr/sbin/sendmail

/usr/lib/sendmail

/usr/local/bin/sendmail

When a customer completes an order online, a thank you page will be displayed on their screen. Use this field to type in the thank you message that you want displayed. This field is required.

Enter the URL (full web address) of the page you want the customer taken to once they complete an order. The thank you screen will appear first and then the user will be taken to the address you enter here. This field is required.

Use the fields above to upload banner advertising images to your store and set their optional hyperlinks.
If you specify a hyperlink for a banner ad, the store will make the banner ad image "clickable". When the customer clicks on the banner ad, the store will take the customer to the hyperlink's address.

NOTE: for banner ads to appear in your store, you must edit your skin pages and insert specifically named banner ad "markers" (see below) so that the store will know where to insert the banner ad images. If no banner ad markers are found on a store page, no banner ad images will be shown. If you do not have access to edit your skin page files, you may insert banner ad markers by typing them into any of the store administration fields that allow HTML to be entered.
