Technical: A typical code would look like this: The first code is required and will tell the browser where the CoolCart
Server is so that it may process the order: The demo/cart will be replaced by your company profile!! "Qty" is optional and will contain the default quantity for the item.
You only need it if your default quantity is different from (1) one: It is
recommend to use value="" because this will add qty 1 for the item but if
the item already exists in the cart with a qty greater than 1 it will keep
that number. If you enter a number greater than one in the qty input field
it will always override the qty already in the cart for that item. You can
do it as a hidden field or as an input field. Here is an input field: "Describe" is optional and will describe the Product: "ID" is required. This is the identifier of the item. It can be the
Model Number or any Identifier for the item. Each ID must be unique!!
This is an html terminate code. Don't use: <Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="36" TV"> Try: <Input type="hidden" Name="ID" Value="36 inch TV"> "Price" is optional and will contain the price of the item. If left
off, then your price will be set to zero for that item. "Ship" is an optional value that contains the shipping price of the
item. The amount should be based on additional pieces of the item since you
will already have a minimum shipping fee for any region of the world when
you set up the Shipping Regions. "Weight" is an optional value that contains the weight of the item.
You can base this on ounces, pounds, liters or any units of measurement. Each
item can have it's weight and CoolCart will multiply weight x quantity for
each item. It will then look in your weight table and grab the price based
on the total weight values of all items. If this total is less than your minimum
then it will use the minimum. See our Weight Demo
page. "Multi" is used if you want to have the same item in the cart more
then one time based on different options like color, size, addons, etc. This
way the shopper can select for example, 2 large red, 3 small green, 5 medium
blue items. Sometimes you may want it to overwrite the item for example if
the shopper should make only one selection. If "Multi" is left off then it
defaults to "N". More hidden values would look like this: "Color" is an optional value. You have the option to add additional
charges for each color if you wish using this command: You can let the shopper choose with radio buttons or drop down boxes. "Size" is an optional value that gives your customers the option
of selecting different sizes. You have the option to add additional charges
for each size if you wish using this command: "AddOn1", "AddOn2", "AddOn3", "AddOn4","AddOn5", "AddOn6", "AddOn7", "AddOn8", "NAddOn1", and "NAddOn2" values give you the ability to add more options and extra charges if you wish: AddOn1, AddOn2, AddOn3, AddOn4, AddOn5, AddOn6, AddOn7, AddOn8 work the same way Color and Size. If multi=Y then it will keep adding items to the cart of different combinations. ex. small red, large blue, etc. NAddOn1 and NAddOn2 mean NoMulti AddOn's. These will prevent another item added to the cart if these options are selected. <INPUT name='NAddOn1' type=checkbox value="With Learning Video Tape^5.00"> With Learning Video Tape - Add $5.00 (Note: Multi=N will always overwrite the item in the cart no matter which options they choose. "DiscStr" is how you can build price breaks on each product based on quantity purchased. Just edit this table and place between <FORM ACTION> AND </FORM> on your page. <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="DiscStr" VALUE="1,5,10.95;6,10,8.95;11,20,5.95;21,100,2.95"> The above example would mean: The last qty number is 100. This can be any number because if it's not on the table, it will use the last price it finds. It will use 2.95 for any quantity 21 and over in this example. For an explanation of the per item discounts: "Show" is a way of displaying or not displaying the shopping cart
when adding items to the basket. See explanation "TaxItem" is an optional value and defaults to "Y" if not used. This
means sales tax will be added to the item if a purchase is made within your
own state. If set to Value="N" then the item will not be charged sales tax.
You can mix taxable and non-taxable items in one basket and the system will
calculate accurately for you! "Submit" command is Required. You'll have two ways to let the buyer
add an item to your cart. The simple way is a standard post button: It will look like this: The other way is to let the buyer click an icon. For example: <input name="Add to Cart" type=image src=cartgreen.gif border=0> "View" and "Check Out" is a way for your customers to view
their order in the shopping cart or check out without first adding an item
to the cart. See explanation "End Form" You MUST end each Item with </form> or you'll have
a blank item in your cart: Shipping Regions holds the minimum charge to any region and a shipping
factor that is multiplied by the Name="Ship" Value="3.00". The shipping factor is very simple and works like this: Example: Let's say that the U.S. factor is 1. Then it will use the product's Name="Ship" Value="3.00"> x the region factor of 1 i.e. 3.00 x 1 = $3.00 for the U.S. Now, let's say the Canada factor is 1.5 The shipping rate would be $3.00 x 1.5 = $4.50 for Canada. As you can see, your shipping rates can be adjusted very easily. Global Discounts Setups:
