Setting Up an XCart Shopping Cart

The Order Manager imports web orders from XCart via the Internet. Before you can do so, you must download and install an export script in your online store and then set up a shopping cart. Follow the directions below to set up a shopping cart into which you can import XCart web orders.

 

Set Up Shopping Cart
  1. To open the Shopping Carts dialog box, go to Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Cart Functions tab>Create/Edit Shopping Carts.

  2. Click Add Cart.

  3. Enter a store name in the Store Name field. Note: If you are licensed to use multiple shopping cart types, you should enter a unique store name for each one to help you distinguish between them.

  4. Select your shopping cart in the Cart Type drop down list, if necessary. If you are licensed to use only one shopping cart type, you will not see a drop down list in the Cart Type field.

  5. For Cart ID / Username, enter your administrator username.

  6. For Cart Password, enter the password for the administrator username above.

  7. For Script URL, enter the secure path to the location of your import script, e.g. www.mysite.com/store/xcart-import.php.

  8. Click Save.

  9. Click Close to exit the Shopping Carts dialog box.
