OrderAnywhere - SKU and Quantity

[rob@rebii.com]

I use OrderAnywhere exclusively on my site and it's working great. (We built the OrderAnywhere html snippets based on SKU and not item number) This is a super easy way for products to get added without having to look up the database item number for each product.

It would be nice if there was a way to also include a quantity in the OrderAnywhere form. I can make this work if I know the item number by using a text input field for itemnum:qnty. Is there an equivalent way to pass a quantity based on SKU?

Thanks!

You should be able to use:

Quantity <input type="text" size="2" name="[-- PRODUCT.SKU --]:qnty" value="1">

Lauren, thanks for the reply. What you sent looked promising but when I do the submit based on the following html, only quantity 1 gets added to the cart.

Below is the quick html I threw together to try the quantity solution. Possibly I'm missing something important being relatively new to Shopsite.

<form action="http://www.xyz.com/cgi-bin/sc/order.cgi" method="post">

Your form must submit the actual product sku. Since you are using OrderAnywhere you will not be able to use the ShopSite template tag "[-- PRODUCT.SKU --]" in your form.

I'm not a javascript programmer but if you are having the shopper enter the sku you might need to use some javascript to get the sku from the input into the place in the form where it is needed.
