The Create/Edit Shopping Carts function is available on the Cart Functions tab of the Maintenance Menu. It is also available by default on the Quick Clicks menu (this menu of buttons can be modified by the user). When you click Create/Edit Shopping Carts the Shopping Carts screen opens. This is where you define your shopping cart in the Order Manager. Enter the information necessary to allow the program to import orders from your shopping cart.

To enter a new shopping cart definition in the Order Manager, go to Maintenance Menu>Cart Functions>Create/Edit Shopping Carts or click the Create/Edit Shopping Cart link in the Quick Clicks section of the main menu.
Click the Add Cart button to add a new entry, Edit Cart to change settings for an existing shopping cart definition, or Delete to remove a shopping cart definition from the program. Click the Save button to retain the addition of or changes to the store the cart definition. Use the Close button to abandon them.
Enter a value in the Store Name field. The value entered should easily identify the web site that it represents, but do not include ".com" in the name of a shopping cart.
Make the appropriate selection from the Cart Type drop-down list, after your license file has been updated to reflect the purchase of a new shopping cart license from Stone Edge. If the user is only licensed for one shopping cart type, the Cart Type drop-down box will not be visible, the program will just enter the appropriate cart name in the field..
In the CartID/User Name and the Cart Password fields, enter the appropriate user name and password combination for the shopping cart. This varies with the type of shopping cart. In many cases, it is the same User ID and Password that is used to login to the administration section or "back-end" of the shopping cart, but check the Setting Up a ________ Shopping Cart article in the Specific Shopping Carts Knowledge Base book for specific details about your cart type.
Re-enter the same password specified in the previous step for verification purposes.
It is not necessary to put a value in the Store Code field for all shopping carts; in fact the field is labeled differently for some carts, such as AbleCommerce, which uses a Group and Store ID combination in this field. Check the Knowledge Base article for your shopping cart type.
In the Script URL field, enter the path to the Order Manager integration script. The location of the script depends largely on the type of shopping cart and which vendor provides it, Stone Edge or the Shopping Cart Vendor. Refer to the specific "set up" Knowledge Base article for directions for your specific shopping cart type.
The Test Script URL button is used to validate the accessibility of the script. A message box will appear to indicate the success or failure of the test. It does not validate the User ID and Password that are entered in the shopping cart definition.
The fields on the right-hand side of the screen are only used or required by certain cart types. See the related Knowledge Base article for specific information about configuring your shopping cart definition. Also review the Shopping Cart Matrix to determine the functionality that is supported by your shopping cart.
At the bottom of the screen there will be a list of shopping cart definitions that have been created successfully (Current Carts List:). Click on a row to see the information related to that shopping cart definition displayed in the upper section of the screen.
Because each cart requires its own particular settings, it is difficult to outline the steps to setting up a shopping cart in general terms. For instructions on how to set up some of the shopping cart types, please see the appropriate Knowledge Base topic, some of which are listed below. If you do not see your shopping cart listed here, check out the Specific Shopping Carts book in the Knowledge Base.
