3dcart Shopping Cart Setup

Contents of this Topic: ShowHide

9/11/14 Attention Version 7.1 Users of AuthNet CIM

At this time, Stone Edge is unable to capture authorizations performed by 3DCart through Authorize.Net CIM. As a temporary workaround, change the 3DCart to perform a sale rather than an authorization, or you can capture an authorization created by 3DCart at Authorize.net and manually log the payments in Stone Edge. 3DCart is working to correct this problem, but the changes are not expected to be available for more than a month from now.

Shopping Cart Integration

• Order information is imported directly from the web site

• Product records are imported directly from the web site

• Customer record are imported directly from the web site

• Custom order fields can be imported from the website

• Manual Inventory Synchronization is supported in both directions (Get/Send)

Configure the Shopping Cart

1. Log into the 3dcart online store manager.

2. On the navigation bar to the left, select Plugins > Order Management > Monsoon Stone Edge.

3. On the Order Management Plugins page, select Settings, next to the Monsoon Commerce icon.

4. The Stone Edge Settings page contains information you'll  need to add to the Stone Edge shopping cart definition, as outlined in the next section. Leave this page open to facilitate copying and pasting the values from the Username, Password, Link fields.

Configure Stone Edge

1. Go to Main Menu > Settings > System Functions > Shopping Carts. The Store Setup Wizard can also be used to open the Shopping Carts screen.

2. Click Add New.

3. Enter an arbitrary name for the 3dcart web store in the Store Name field. It can be anything you like, but it should be unique. This value is only used internally in Stone Edge .

4. Select 3dcart from Cart Type. If the user is only licensed for one shopping cart system, Cart Type only displays the name of that system rather than a drop-down list of shopping cart systems.

5. Enter the Username and Password provided by the vendor into the Cart ID/User Name and Cart Password fields, respectively. Refer to step 4 in the previous section.

6. Re-enter the Cart Password in the Reenter Password field.

7. Copy and paste the Link (URL) from the Stone Edge Settings page of your 3D Cart Online Store Manager interface into the Script URL field. Refer to step 4 in the previous section.

The URL is the secure path to your store followed by /stonedge.asp. For example, https://www.mystore.com/3dcs/stonedge.asp.

Please note the spelling of "stonedge" in this example is not a typographical error (with one "e"), it must be spelled that way.    

8. Click Save to create the shopping cart definition.

9. Click Test Script URL to validate the path to the script. This button is not visible until the shopping cart definition is initially saved. If successful, the program pops a message box stating "Test passed" and the script version. This test does not validate the Username and Password credentials, merely the accessibility of the script.

10. The shopping cart definition is complete! Continue with other configuration tasks listed below, if they are supported by your shopping cart system.
