QUICK START

The most common problems people have are covered in this quick start guide. The quick start guide will help to get you up and running in minutes.

• What values do I set in my links ?
• What is the link to review cart contents ?
• How do I get a Continue Shopping button in my cart ?
• I've lost my Password, how do I retrieve it ?

WHAT VALUES DO I SET IN MY LINKS ?

The URL for the main "add to the cart" link is:

http://www.sitecart.engage.uk.com/cart/?

After the question mark the compulsory fields:

• id - Your Username
• item - A short description of the product you wish to add to the cart
• price - Just the number, no currency symbol

Additional optional fields you can use are:

• code - A product code
• qty - A quantity, if left out the default is 1
• return - A URL for a return link

Your link should look something like this:

<a href="http://www.sitecart.engage.uk.com/cart/?id=AB123456&item=TheItem&price=12.50"> Add to Cart </A>

Note: there should be no spaces in the link, it should be on one line.

WHAT IS THE LINK TO REVIEW CART CONTENTS ?

To see the cart at any time your customers can follow this link:

<a href="http://www.sitecart.engage.uk.com/cart/?id=AB123456"> Review Cart </A>

I recommend that you use the same link when your customer wishes to checkout.

HOW DO I GET A CONTINUE SHOPPING BUTTON LINK IN MY CART ?

You need to add the optional field "return" into all your links to the cart. That includes your Review cart links as well as your Buy Now buttons.

The return field can be set to any page on your website:

...return=www.yoursite.com/anypage.htm

or any directory:

...return=www.yoursite.com/thisfolder/

or if using a form

<input type=hidden name=return value=www.yoursite.com/anypage.htm>
