#1 -- I've been looking for a thread about adding links to the long description. Can I do that? I want to send the shopper to another page to read an "excerpt" of a book if they are interested.

#2 -- I need to be able to add FREE shipping for orders over $40.00. How can I set it up so that SCC will allow me to do that?

Is either of these even possible??

Thanks

If you want to add links you can do that in the Product Detail page for sure, I've never tried anywhere else other than main pages themselves.

I don't think you can specify that unless you want to let them choose it and deal with the consequences of their shipping choices. I "think" they are planning better shipping setups in the Pro version at some point, not sure if it will be in the original release of it or not, but hopefully at some point.

Right now you can setup multiple types of shipping setups, but it is all dropdown menu setups that your customers choose their shipping options so you could end up with a lot of people choosing that option to get free shipping hehe. One way around that would be to specify that it would be adjusted at processing rather than at order time maybe? Not sure how that would work out, but I've had things like that where I ordered and was either credited or price adjusted after I placed the order and I didn't mind so who knows if others mind.

Another option should you choose to purchase the Pro version when it's released, is the ability to do Coupon Codes which they are planning to add at some point (from the gossip on the forums that is lol) so that may be a way to go too when/if that's added.

Jo Ann... as always, you'e right on top of things.

Ok.. I get the "add links" to the description, but HOW do I do that?

I can't figure that part out? Is there somewhere I can get instructions? I don't see anyplace that will allow me to highlight a word or sentence, and then put a link on it....

thanks a bunch

Sandy is this what you are after

see click here to see how they are made

All you need is the icon next to the colour option (looks like binoculars) it puts in your url link

then iether back arrow to get back to product, or put in another url link

excuse long url, trial experimental site

My bad Sandy, I assume too much sometimes and not enough other times and this time I assumed you had already realized there was an HTML Tool on the Product Detail page.

On your Product Detail page where you'd usually style your text you'll see a small HTML button there. You can open that box and insert your link code same as you would do any HTML editing. So if you want to link to another page you'd do this:

<a href="http://siteaddresshereforlink">

Then once you enter that on the page you should see the link on your Details page.

I've yet to figure out how to manipulate things as far as position in the HTML box, but the styling you can do with <style> </style> tags to add any other style to your links or any other HTML you want to enter.

Hope that helps

If you offer both free options and paid options for shipping, such as free for your own country and paid for elsewhere, you will always get customers that will deliberately try to exploit that. You just have a simple statement on your cart page that states the item will not be despatched unless correct postage option is selected.

Most potential customers are wary of the Internet and cautious not to be ripped off. A site has to inspire confidence with all policies clearly defined.

I'm not sure whether the coupon options will be a future feature of the pro version, as I currently have that facility on my other cart software and it needs to use encrypted data to secure the system, a random number generator to create coupon codes and a means of storing those coupons safely and deleting them once the coupon has been used.

Hello Sandy,

We are currently working on weight based shipping for the upcoming release of the Pro version, but we have not been working on 'exception rules' just yet. These rules are very similar to discount rule types (if you buy 2, you get #3 for free, if you buy for over $40, you get a 10% discount, etc) and we need to study how to make such a potentially complicated area intuitive and easy to use as well.

It is on our list though

YIPPEE.!!!!! Perhaps more than any other feature, the ability to give customers a more accurate shipping cost, is what will ultimately take the product forward and enable Cart Creator to really become viable competition to all the big ecommerce players out there.

Every independent survey out there on shopping cart abandonment, puts excessive shipping costs as the biggest reason for customers deserting the cart. Anything that gives shop owners the ability to give more precise shipping costs, will have massive benefits for everyone.

Coffeecup actually listens to the feedback of its own customers.

Hi Will,

Yes, coupons are on our list too - after all we are on a mission here

But let me try to understand this better. We wanted to implement them in line with the way we use them for ourselves - choose an easy to remember, sometimes funny word like YAHTZEE (you can try it ), get it out and let it spread across the Web. We delete it when we feel the promotion period for that is over.

If I understand you correctly you want a unique number that can only be used once?

Hi Bob. I am thinking of coupons being used in the sense of giving the customer a discount off future purchases, but being able to be used only by that customer. A customer loyalty incentive, preferably used once. If it was a generic thing say 10 percent off everything for everyone, that can be already be implented by using the discount feature in Cart Creator.
