Setting Up a ProStores Shopping Cart

Note: The Stone Edge Order Manager only supports the "Pro", "Advanced", and "Enterprise" versions of ProStores.

There are three parts to setting up a ProStores shopping cart in the Order Manager:

1) obtaining server settings from ProStores Store Administration,

2) setting up the shopping cart in the Order Manager, and

3) testing the script URL.

Follow these directions for all versions of the Order Manager.

1. Log into your ProStores Store Administration Home page.

2. Click Store Settings on the left navigation bar to expand the menu, and then select Server.

3. Leave your browser open to the Server Settings page; you will need to copy information from it into the Order Manager. (The information you will need is highlighted in the screenshot below.)

4. Open the Order Manager and proceed to the next section.
