OrderAnywhere Linker
The OrderAnywhere Linker is the easiest way to add a ShopSite shopping cart to an existing Web site. It allows you to place an [Add to Cart] button next to each product in your Web site without having to re-create all your pages in ShopSite. You can use your favorite Web page creation program to create your store's pages, and then place order buttons anywhere on those pages.
If you haven't already set up your store, you may want to use the New Store Wizard and select the option to add order buttons to my existing site. This option will guide you through all the essential steps to place Add To Cart links on your existing pages and begin taking orders in ShopSite.
With the OrderAnywhere Linker you can:
To Click and Drag Buttons
- Enter the names, prices, and SKUs of all the products in your store into the products database using the Add Product feature.
- Make sure that the program you use for creating Web pages is running.
- From the OrderAnywhere screen, search for the specific product you want or click on List All Products to see a list of all products in your store. See the Merchant Search help page for more information.
- Select one or more products from the search results and click Show Selected Links. If you want to create buttons for all of your store’s products, just click Show All Links.
- The resulting screen will show the [Add to Cart] and [View Cart] buttons for the products that you selected. Highlight one of the buttons with your mouse and then click on it and drag it from your browser window into the window of your Web page creation program. All [View Cart] buttons are the same for an entire store (unless you specified different text or images), so you only need to drag one onto your page.
To Copy and Paste Buttons
- Enter the names, prices, and SKUs of all the products in your store into the products database using the Add Product feature.
- Make sure that the program you use for creating Web pages is running.
- From the OrderAnywhere screen, search for the specific product you want or click on List All Products to see a list of all products in your store. See the Merchant Search help page for more information.
- Select one or more products from the search results and click Show Selected Links. If you want to create buttons for all of your store’s products, just click Show All HTML.
- The resulting screen will show the HTML for the [Add to Cart] and [View Cart] buttons for the products that you selected. Use your mouse to highlight the HTML for one button and then copy it and paste it into your Web page creation program. You can replace the button text or image with anything that you want. All [View Cart] buttons are the same for an entire store (unless you specified different text or images), so you only need to paste one onto your page.
