OrderAnyWhere Buttons

Postby Larry Bohen » Thu May 13, 2004 3:11 pm

I maintain our 8000+ db of audiobook products on my desktop with MS Access.
Because the ShopSite generated [Add to Cart] and [View Cart] buttons are at
the bottom (most "below the fold" requiring they scroll before they see the
"call to action") I want to place [Add to Cart] and [View Cart] buttons
using OrderAnyWhere at the top of the More Information Page.

Can I do this?

How?

That would require that you hand edit each moreinfo page after every
publish. Not something that I would want to do. ;-)

Why not create a custom template and put the buttons where you want
them. You could even have them at the top and the bottom of the page
if you want.

Larry, just put the links at the start of your More Information Text.

Puttting the links at the start (top) of the More Information Text is
exactly what I want to do. Do the links have to be customized for each SKU?

Larry,
Sorry about my last answer about hand editing the pages. I forgot about
being able to put the links in the moreinfo text.

If you have the OrderAnywhere "Use SKU instead of record number"
functionality turned on (and you generate the sku database), the sku
information will be included in the link that is generated.

Jim, When you turn that on do you have to make sure you've replaced all
existing links that are using ID or will they both work??

Ordering using either link method will work so you shouldn't have to
replace existing links. However, using the SKU is the better method
since product IDs can change if you delete products and then add new
products.
If you compare the links generated using ID vs SKU

ID--<a
href="http://beeutahful.com/sc/order.cgi?storeid=*2241e2cb1c814c8ac3dc5005c2c794cd5f9eb1&dbname=products&itemnum=76&function=add">[Add
to Cart]</a>

SKU--<a
href="http://beeutahful.com/sc/order.cgi?storeid=*2264e8ab5c811c16792c4005c2c794cd5f9e30&dbname=products&sku=christmas1&function=add">[Add
to Cart]</a>

you will see that the only difference is that ID uses "&itemnum=76"
and SKU uses "&sku=christmas1" so each uses a different mechanism for
adding the product to the cart.

(Note the storeid is encrypted and will usually change each time a link
is generated but will always decrypt to the same value. If you create
the links manually you can use the same encrypted storeid in each link
or you can even replace the storeid value with the text version of the
storeid)

Our host, www.lexiconn.com, created a custom template for our More
Information Text page with the purchase and view cart buttons at the top and
bottom.

Another example of their great service!
