option fields for "order anywhere" buttons

[barnstormer]

I am trying to integrate the "order anywhere" links into a page and have not been able to find the solution I am seeking in the online or PDF documentation.

My products need to each have a series of option fields, which the shopper must complete before clicking the "submit" button to add the product to the shopping cart.

I would like to be able to use the following tags:
<input type="radio' ... (they make multiple selections)
<input type="text" ... (they type in a sentence or two)
<input type="checkbox" ... (they make a selection)

After they've entered all of the necessary info, they click "submit" and the info from their input fields is transferred to the shopping cart.

I've found the Edit Product Info > Extra Fields, but I don't see how that ties in with the shopping cart or the "order anywhere" buttons.

I am able to create the basic button which allows an input of quantity, but am completely lost as to how to provide additional options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Follow up...

I've not yet received a reply to my original message and am hoping a ShopSite user in the forum or a ShopSite tech support person will be able to assist here.

Thanks.

I figured it out myself.

The documentation on how to setup Ordering Option pull-downs for a product is at (for your version):

http://www.shopsite.com/help/8.3/en-US/sc/pro/ordering.options.html

To get the OrderAnywhere feature to show you the HTML for the submit form to add a particular product to the cart with these options, check the 'Display Ordering Options' checkbox in that product's Edit Product Layout menu, then OrderAnywhere will show that product's options.

Also note that you cannot arbitrarily add options to the list on your HTML page, in order for any of the pull-down options to work they must match exactly with the options setup in the ShopSite product's Ordering Options fields.

Thanks for the tip, Loren.

I've got my OrderAnywhere form working perfectly. All text fields, radio buttons, and checkboxes are passing info to the cart screen.

Could you tell me which template or include I should edit in order to have the field name display in front of the option chosen? Here's how the screen appears, regardless of which standard template I've chosen:

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5
Option Value 1
Option Value 2
Option Value 3
Option Value 4
Option Value 5

I would prefer to see this as:

Option1: Option Value 1
Option2: Option Value 2
Option3: Option Value 3
Option4: Option Value 4
Option5: Option Value 5

Lovin' ShopSite so far!
