Display existing Database price on Order Anywhere pages?

[satinno]

I just updated to Version 11.sp1.r2.1
I'm told it may be possible to display the database PRICE on my "Order Anywhere" pages (next to the View and Add To Cart Buttons).
I am currently using Shopsite Manager. This would allow me to make price changes within the database (only) and have the price
update automatically everywhere within the site for that particular SKU. Is this possible and if so, how???

You would use the Embed option under Merchandising Tools > OrderAnywhere Linker > select product > Show Code > Show Embed. Copy that code and paste it to your html page. Each time the page that that code is on is loaded it contacts your store for information about the product and displays it in an iframe.

Thanks for the FAST reply Jim.
I followed your directions but the "embed" feature is not available to me on
version 11.sp1.r2 at this time anyway.
It suggests I "contact shopsite to see if available as an addon feature at additional cost" ???
Would be well worth it if price is "reasonable".
As it is now, if I have an item cost change, I have to manually change the pricing
on no less than 3 different pages, then upload the entire site for this to
be active whereas, if the embed feature were available it would be a simple
database price change which would be effective "immediately" if I understand
correctly. Thanks again for your reply. Bob

What is the exact message you see when you go to the Order Anywhere screen? It sounds like you have the proper version of ShopSite but you may not have paid to upgrade to that version so the feature is disabled. If you post a link to your store (or send it to me in a PM ) I can check and see if that is the case or not.

When you click on the Greyed Out "Show Code" button the response is :
"You have clicked on a feature that is not enabled for your ShopSite store.
Please contact your hosting provider to find out about enabling all the features in ShopSite 11 sp2 and discover if any fees are involved.
Click here to view the list of features available in ShopSite 11 sp2".

I have contacted BlueHost, my hosting provider, and the IT tech I spoke with does not know WHY this feature is not enabled OR if any
additional fees are required to enable it.

Is this something Shopsite needs to work out directly with BlueHost to get the feature enabled.
Is there an additional cost. If so, why and how much?

I spoke with Nicole at ShopSite on Tuesday of this week who thought this feature was available in all three
ShopSite products (I have Manager). Should I contact her again???
Thanks again for your help.

Jim I forgot to give you the store link.

http://www.satelliteinnovations.com

Search this in Google and click on any page that is listed OTHER than the home page and
you will be able to view the site contents.
I am updating the site at the moment and the home page itself will not provide
links to any of the existing pages.

Your store is running ShopSite 11 sp1 r2.1 but the features are only enabled at the ShopSite version 10 level. So your store was purchased as a one time purchase, probably directly from ShopSite. The one time purchase license does not include upgrades to newer version levels. In order to use the version 11 features you would need to purchase the upgrade from version 10 to version 11. You should contact whoever you purchase the ShopSite license from for assistance in purchasing the upgrade. I will send you a PM with the email address for contacting ShopSite about this.
