I brought this error to Shopsite's attention and they indicated that the error appears when the 'Saturday Delivery' option is turned on at the same time as ANY of the 'Express Shipping' methods. Since the client needed the Express Shipping methods more than Saturday Delivery we unchecked this option. This bug is slated to be fixed in v8.2 of Shopsite. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Wed, 13 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/141/1/Setting-Free-Shipping-for-Orders-Over-a-Certain-Amount Let's face it; a lot of customers just add a product to their shopping basket just to see how much the merchant is going to charge them for shipping. Since this is the case wouldn't it be nice to offer FREE shipping through your Shopsite store so you could increase your customer conversion ratio? If your store can't afford to offer free shipping on ALL orders then you should setup Shopsite's Free Shipping based on Order Total option. This way when a customer reaches the qualifying dollar amount they will no longer be charged any shipping for their order. This way both of you win! kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Fri, 08 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/140/1/Removing-the-ZIP-CODE-Field-From-Shopsite%26%2339%3Bs-Add-to-Cart-Page If you have your Shopsite store set to use either taxes calculated based on Zip Code, Free Shipping or real time rates with UPS or FedEx it will automatically load a ZIP CODE field within the Add to Cart page. This field needs to be populated before the client can proceed to the Checkout page. In the event that the customer enters in a different Zip Code on the Checkout screen they will need to go back to the Add to Cart page and change the Zip Code. As you can imagine this can be quite frustrating and is why some merchants look for a way to remove this Zip Code field from the Add to Cart screen within Shopsite. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Sat, 02 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/139/1/Displaying-a-Page-Name-in-Shopsite When setting up your Shopsite store you may want for some of the pages to use the Page Name as a heading others not to. So long as your Shopsite custom templates have been setup properly you can do this by simply checking a check box with the page's layout settings. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Wed, 29 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/138/1/Shopsite-Coupons-for-Selected-Products Shopsite makes it easy to configure coupons to be redeemed only for specific products found within your on-line store. This can prove to be especially useful when you are trying to promote a new line of products or wish to liquidate old stock. In the event that you store carries some break-even products it might be wise to NOT include them in the list of products that the coupon can be used with. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/137/1/How-to-Switch-AuthorizeNET-from-Test-to-Live-Mode Once you've setup and configured your AuthorizeNET payment gateway with the Shopsite shopping cart it is very important that you change the processing mode from within your AuthorizeNET control panel from Test Mode to Live Mode. If you don't do this any orders that are processed through your store will be treated as real transaction however you won't be collecting any of the funds. In the event that you discover that your store is processing orders in Test Mode you will need to contact each of your customers and request their payment details for off-line manual processing. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Wed, 15 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/136/1/Removing-the-Select-Payment-Type-from-Shopsite%26%2339%3Bs-Add-to-Cart-Page I have received a fair number of complaints from clients about how they don't like the 'Please Select Payment Type' drop down menu that loads on the Shopsite Add to Cart shopping cart page. They feel, and I agree with them, that this is a step they don't need their customer to take until they get to the Checkout page of the shopping cart. Shopsite creates this drop down menu when the merchant has opted to accept more than just credit cards through their store, i.e. Checks, Pay Pal. The reason why is because it needs to know what type of payment fields it needs to generate on the Checkout page. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/135/1/Displaying-Ordering-Options-in-Shopsite Shopsite's product Ordering Options allow for you to let your customers choose from a series of product specific drop-down boxes so they can customize their order. For example, if your store sold T-Shirts you could setup ordering options to handle the available sizes and colors. Some Shopsite custom templates display these options automatically while others require that you check a check box to make them visible. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Wed, 08 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/134/1/Using-One-Shopsite-License-for-Two-Stores Quite a few businesses as the grow need the ability to provide their products at both a retail rate for their day-to-day customers and at a wholesale rate for their vendors and partners. Most merchants would use two separate Shopsite licenses to get this accomplished. I am going to show you how you can get it done by only using one. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Sat, 04 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.shopsitecorner.com/articles/133/1/Setting-Up-Worldpay-in-Shopsite Worldpay is one of the supported 3rd party payment processing companies that the Shopsite shopping cart can be setup to use. The majority of businesses who use Worldpay as a payment processor typically reside outside of the U.S. where it is a lot harder to secure a merchant account for their on-line business. kyle@merchantcorner.com (Kyle Rodeck) Wed, 01 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500
