Remember Customer Information For Repeat Orders

If this option is checked, then when a customer returns to your website to make a repeat order his/her customer information is recalled. This only works with Internet browsers that support cookies.

Template File Directory

This field is to set a specific path to the HTML template files. This is very useful when you want the HTML files to be located in the area where the web pages are located the server, instead of beneath the Cart32 directory. This is also useful when you want to customize the look of your cart. Only list the path and not any file names here

Ex. d:\ozarkol\cart32templates\clientcode\

Use Post Method

Check this box you want Cart32 to use the POST method when submitting the template files you have specified. By default, Cart32 will use the GET method.

File extension for HTML template files

This enables a powerful feature where you can include server side scripting code in the HTML template files. Active Server Pages (ASP) and Cold Fusion (CF) are good examples of uses for this field. You do not rename the template files themselves. They keep their .html extension. Cart32 automatically replaces the extension with what this field contains. For example, if you put ".asp" (without the quotes) in this field, then all of the template files will be treated as ASP files and you can put ASP code in them.

Next Order Number

This specifies the order number (must be numeric) that will be assigned to the next online
order. Cart32 automatically increments this for each order.

Domain(s) To Accept Orders

This is a list of domain names in which to accept orders. The most common example of this is your website. This prevents a user from downloading a page containing product information and then changing the price or other parameters and then submitting the order. You can one list domain name or several separated by commas. Do not include the "http://" preface.  Do include the domain with and without the www.

Ex. www.cart32.com, cart32.com

Require whole number quantities for items added to the cart

Check this box if you only want whole numbers for quantities used when using the cart. For example, this will prevent a user from entering "1.5" as the quantity for an item if partial quantities are not available.

Require POST for adding to cart

This requires all Cart32 transactions to use the POST method for processing forms. This is a security measure to prevent a user from typing in changed prices or other parameters.  The POST method is more secure.

Don't store credit cards in Cart32 internal databases

Check this box if you do not want Cart32 to store the credit card information at all. This is useful if you use a real time payment processor and do not need the credit card after the transaction is complete.

CVV2

Select whether or not the CVV2 field (the credit card security number on the back of the card) is stored in the cart.  To protect CVV2 data from being compromised, Visa U.S.A. Inc. Operating Regulations prohibit merchants from keeping or storing CVV2 numbers once a transaction has been completed. So you must either not store the data or clear it out once you've processed an order. Cart32 will keep the CVV2 stored for a maximum of 5 days.

Regenerate Public/Private Encryption Keys

This link will start the wizard to generate public a public/private key pair for use in encrypting credit cards. If you run this after it has already been run, any credit cards encrypted previously with key encryption will NOT be retrievable.

Use Secure Transactions

Notes whether or not that client’s server supports SSL secure transactions. If so Cart32, will use the https:// protocol instead of the regular http:// protocol to process the transaction.  It is recommended that you check this setting.

Secure Domain Name

Leave this field blank to have Cart32 automatically find the secure domain name (recommended).  If Cart32 returns an incorrect domain name, then you can specify the correct one in this field. Do not include "http://".

Ex. www.cart32.com

Secure CGI Directory

Leave this field blank to have Cart32 automatically find the secure domain name (recommended).  If you specify the secure domain name, then you need to also specify the secure CGI directory. This field should begin and end with a forward slash (/).

Ex. /cgi-bin/

Leave secure connection in frames on framed website

If you check this then Cart32 will keep framed websites in frames on secure connections. With this unchecked Cart32 will go to a non-frames window for secure pages. The non-frames window is the better option because the browser shows that the connection is secure. If you keep your pages in frames, then the connection will be secure, but the browser will still show a non-secure connection.

To setup taxes based on state, select Use Tax Grid Only.  In the Tax Grid section, set Base Tax On to State.  Enter the state name for Base Tax On Value.  Enter the Tax Rate in decimal format, such as .10 for 10%.  Do NOT enter a Tax Code.  This is an advanced setting.  Select whether or not to Tax Shipping.

You will need to make multiple ROW entries for the possible spellings of the state, such as California and CA (these values are NOT case sensitive).  These values cannot all be entered on one line.

Cart32 allows for multiple ship types and customized shipping settings.  This guide will only cover the most common form, charging shipping based on real time calculations from a shipping carrier.  You can setup several shipping types, such as Ground, Next Day, 3 Day, etc.   This tab contains many more advanced settings that will not be covered here.

Enter a Name such as USPS Priority for the shipping type and click the Add Shipping Type button.  This name will be shown to your customers.  Click Edit next to the shipping type you just created.  Choose your Shipping Method.  For this example we would choose By US Postal Service and select Priority Mail from the drop down list.
