Below are directions for sending an email to your customers allowing them to check the status of their order using your own URL in the hyperlink.
To do this you must:
Have a web server with support for ASP (Active Server Pages).
Have a basic knowledge of creating and posting web pages.
Steps:
Create a new web page in the editor of your choice, even notepad or a similar program.
Copy and paste the
code below at the top of the web page. There should be
no carriage returns or line breaks once the code has been pasted.
<% response.redirect "http://www.stoneedge.net/setistatus/checkstatus.asp?MerchantID="
& Request("MerchantID") & "&OrderNumber="
& Request("OrderNumber") & "&Zip="
& Request("Zip") & "&Phone=" &
Request("Phone") & "&email=" & Request("Email")
%>
Save the page. Give it any name you like, as long as the extension is ".asp". (e.g., "status.asp")
Upload this page to your web site.
From within the Order Manager, go to the Maintenance Menu, click Set System Parameters, and go to the "SETI" group.
Set the "SETIStatusLinkURL" parameter value should be your domain name, the path to the page you created above in step three along with the name of the page you created. For example, "http://www.mycompany.com/status.asp"
Technical Details:
The script looks for the following variables:
Ordernumber
MerchantID
Zip
OrderNumber
and MerchantID are required. OrderNumber can be the web order number
or the Order Manager order number.
At least one of the remaining fields are required (zip, email).
You can submit the key/value pairs in a URL or from a form using either the post or get method. The script is NOT case sensitive.
