With the Commerce iParts, you can build custom, self-service web pages for online shopping and payment. The Cart Details page, for example, combines several iParts that display pertinent information:
The commerce iParts support use by site guests (members who have yet to log in). Guests can shop anonymously and add products to their carts. When they submit their cart, they are guided to create an account or to log in, which adds their new selections to any existing items in their saved cart. To restrict shopping to members only, you can change the access settings on the Shop navigation item, to hide it.
You can combine these Commerce iParts to personalize your shopping experience pages:
■ Product Display List – Displays a list of items available for purchase.
■ Address Selector – Displays the current address and allows users to select from alternative addresses.
■ Cart Charges Display – Displays a read-only view of the shipping, handling, tax, and totals for the items in the shopping cart. The iPart supports tax processing rules for the United States, Canada (GST/PST/HST), Asia Pacific (GST inclusive), and Europe (VAT).
■ Cart Details Display – Displays the contents of the shopping cart and allows for quantity changes and deletions. Since saved carts may contain out of stock and discontinued items, the Cart prompts the user to adjust quantities according to current availability. The Update button can be hidden when not needed, such as when the cart appears integrated with the check-out page.
■ Continue Shopping Button Link – Returns the shopper to the shopping page you specify. You can arrange multiple copies of this iPart on your cart page as best fits your layout.
■ General Product Display – Displays details of an item available for purchase.
■ Order Confirmation Display – Displays a confirmation message for a successfully submitted order. The iPart displays taxation for the United States, Canada (GST/PST/HST), Asia Pacific (GST inclusive), and Europe (VAT). The iPart generates and sends a template-based email confirmation, and it allows users to send additional copies to any recipients they wish.
■ Payment Creator – Creates payment details for an order on the web or for a donation. This temporary cardholder information is encrypted to protect the cardholder. (This encryption occurs even if you do not implement advanced PCI compliance.) Check digit validation prevents erroneous card numbers from being submitted to the payment gateway. In the shopping cart, payment methods can include purchase orders, credit cards, and debit cards, which you configure through AR/Cash and System Setup. On a donation page, payment methods can only include credit or debit cards. You can enable an Update button to appear in the shopping cart when using this iPart on a page without the Submit Order Button Link. For the Card address in the shopping cart, users can select from alternative addresses or enter a new one. On a donation page, users can not select from alternative addresses.
■ Shipping Method Selector – Displays the current Ship To address of the contact, allows the contact to select an alternative address (using the Address Selector), and specifies the shipping method as it will be used to fulfill their order from the website.
■ Submit Order Button Link – In the shopping cart, this iPart submits the current order using the confirmation page you specify, prompting guests to log on or create a new account (using Account Creator) to complete the order. Users can print the on-screen confirmation in addition to the confirmation that is emailed to them; they can also forward a copy of the order confirmation to a different email address.
On a donation page, this iPart submits a donation for processing. The confirmation page displayed depends on how you set up the donation process. See iParts for donation features for more information.
