Setting Up A Volusion Cart

Setting Up the Shopping Cart

Go to the API section of the Volusion Admin panel (Dashboard>Inventory>Import/Export>StoneEdge) and click Run for the Stone Edge order export. On the next screen, click Run again, which will produce a URL similar to this one:

http://www.mydomain/net/WebService.aspx?Login=username&EncryptedPassword=password&EDI_Name=StoneEdge\

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE URL SHOWN ABOVE INTO THE ORDER MANAGER SHOPPING CART SCRIPT URL FIELD! FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE STEPS BELOW TO DETERMINE THE VALUES THAT SHOULD BE ENTERED INTO THE SCRIPT URL FIELD OF THE ORDER MANAGER SHOPPING CART DEFINITION.

From the URL generated by your Volusion cart, make note of the following account information for the Order Manager:
- Your Script URL is the portion of URL as highlighted in blue, in the example above.
- Your User Name falls between "Login=" and the "&". In the example above, it's highlighted in green.
- Your Password falls between "EncryptedPassword=" and the "&". In the example above, it's highlighted in yellow.
In the Order Manager, go to the Shopping Carts screen. You can access it from one of three ways:
1. Main Menu> Maintenance Menu> Cart Functions tab> Create/Edit Shopping carts button
2. Main Menu> Maintenance Menu> Setup Functions tab> Store Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create and Edit Shopping Carts button
3. Quick Clicks> Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create and Edit Shopping Carts button
The Shopping Carts dialog box opens:

Store Name: Enter the name you want to use for this shopping cart. This name is for use in the Order Manager only.
Cart Type: Set to "Volusion". If the user is only licensed for one shopping cart type, the Cart Type drop-down box will not be visible. Go on to the next step.
Cart ID/User Name: Enter your User Name, which was derived from the Volusion API URL. (Step 2)
Cart Password: Enter your Password, which was derived from the Volusion API URL. (Step 2)
Script URL: Enter your Script URL, which was derived from the Volusion API URL. (Step 2)
Click the Save button to save the settings. You can click the "Test Script URL" button to check the connection. You should receive the following message:

Test Passed: Script Version = 5

Note: If you receive an error instead, you may check with Volusion to see if this web service needs to be installed in your store. When you log in to the Volusion Admin panel (Dashboard), go to Inventory> Import/Export> Volusion EDI to see if Stone Edge is listed under the Order Management section or if it is listed as an "upgrade". If listed as upgrade, you’ll need to install the web service utility.
