The Order Manager can import AbleCommerce web orders via the Internet. Follow the directions below to set up an AbleCommerce shopping cart into which you can import web orders.
You can access the Shopping Carts dialog box one of four ways:
Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Setup Functions tab>Create/Edit Shopping Carts button
Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Maintenance tab>Store Setup Wizard/Shopping Carts tab
Quick Clicks>Setup Wizard/Shopping Carts tab
Quick Clicks>Create/Edit Shopping Cart
The Shopping Carts dialog box opens:
In the CartID/User Name field, enter your AbleCommerce Administrative username.
In the Cart Password field, enter your AbleCommerce Administrative user password.
In the Script URL field, enter the path to the Order Manager download script that you installed in your AbleCommerce store, e.g. www.mystore.com/acbnet/stores/1/omexpt5.aspx.
In the Group and Store ID field, enter the numeric identifiers for your store, separated by a tilde, e.g. 2~7.
These values are shown in the URL while shopping in your store. For example, if your Store Group ID (SGID) is 2 and Store ID (SID) is 7 you would see SGID=2&SID=7 in the address bar when viewing your store.
For Ablecommerce versions 5.5 and above, set the Store Group ID to 1 (one) and the Store ID to 1 (one).
Click the Test button to validate the URL. Note: This test does not validate the username and password.
You should see a message box similar to the image below:
Click OK. If you receive an error, see Troubleshooting Integration with AbleCommerce or contact Stone Edge Technologies for assistance.
Click Save. The cart is added to the Current Carts List: table.
