ShopSite Forums

We have 1000s of audiobooks for sale at our ShopSite SC Pro 6.2
Web store
(www.audiobooksonline.com). Most audiobook titles come in two
formats
(cassette and compact disc) and some come in a third (MP3 CD).
Each of the
7300+ audiobook products has a [Purchase Audio Book] button AND
an audiobook
CAN NOT be purchased (click on the [Purchase Audio Book]
button) without a
notice that it is on CASSETTE, COMPACT DISC or MP3 CD.

When we use Stoneedge's Order Manager to send email shipping
notices, we
manually insert in the email what the format is (CASSETTE,
COMPACT DISC or
MP3 CD).

Unfortunately, some customers don't read the notices of the
audiobook's
format (CASSETTE, COMPACT DISC or MP3 CD) and end up receiving
a format they
can't listen to.

In our MS Access databased (on my desktop PC) of our 7300+
products) each of
these products has a FORMAT field entry of CASSETTE, COMPACT
DISC or MP3 CD.
Currently the FORMAT field is not uploaded to our ShopSite
store. I'd like
to include the product's FORMAT (CASSETTE, COMPACT DISC or MP3
CD) in the
Shopping Cart screen, the Shipping Screen AND the automatic
order
confirmation email. Can I do this? How?

Larry,

Why don't you use ShopSite's options? Each title will have a
pull down menu of the various format options and corresponding
prices just as my size options are listed at
http://www.switchhits.com/scroll_mocha_ ... cover.html. I
would put as your first option Select Option.

I have an Order Manager email template called "Select Option"
which explains that we can't process their order until they
choose an option...CD, Cassette, MP3, etc.

With Order Manager, you won't need to manually insert the format
or anything else. That's the beauty of Order Manager is that you
can customize your email templates to put in anything you
want...AUTOMATICALLY. The manual thing is a thing of the past
century.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Regarding using ShopSite options, in that many audiobook titles
are
published by more than one publisher and most abridged versions
are narrated
by different actors than the unabridged versions, I would be
trying to
combine, on one page, a confusing mixture of information.
Having the option
list, one of which must be selected before the order gets
processed would I
expect, have the option stated as part of the automatic email
order
confirmation (correct?), however, trying to mix different
publisher and
narrators on the same page would be confusing.

Regarding OM tags, how do I add a custom tag that would pickup
the FORMAT
field (from my MS Access product database) in the email
template?
