This utility will allow you to tag the source of orders from any link that you publish on another site such as Google adwords or any other advertising program.

By adding "?sc=source" onto any .cfm page your pages will be tracked. (Where "source" is a 9 character identification code.) You may need to substitute the ? for a & if you already are using a ? in your link. When people place an order via the link that you published the order will be tagged with that "source code". You can view the source code when your "view order" or view the email copy of the order.

The goal of this tool is to help you see where your orders are coming from. Ex: In any ad that you setup for an ad program such as Google you can have a distinct sourcecode to track the performance of each ad. This is more accurate over Google's conversion tool because this tracking is built specific to your site.

Ex: Link you publish on Google for a product that you sell: http://www.cfwebmaster.com/index.cfm?sc=GoogleAD1 Link you publish in an email to customers: http://www.cfwebmaster.com/store/newproduct.cfm?code=HDS534&sc=EmailAD44 We hope that this tool allows you to better monitor conversion of ad spend and the general value of outside programs in relation to sales.

For the 3 main USPS shipping options we have a toggle to enable or disable the shipping options. Ex. Clicking N on parcel post will remove the shipping option from the site.

The shipping rates are served directly from USPS based on the weight of the order. Make sure that you have accurately entered the weight of the products to have USPS serve up the appropriate rates for the order.

Here in the admin you can add to the base cost of the USPS shipping option. Ex. Parcel Post and Priority Mail are generally close in cost. Thus Parcel Post can be you low price shipping option, and you can add a few dollars to the Priority mail option to cover your shipping and add to your bottom line.

Note the global shipping options "Packing weight" & "Added Shipping Cost" still apply to the USPS options. So adding a shipping cost will be additive with the USPS cost & base cost which you declare.

These message boards are easy to deploy onto an existing website.

Features include:
-Auto upgrading of software.
-Emotioncon icons
-Auto email- moderator to lookout for questionable posts.
-Auto email- original poster, to allow notification of a reply. This is a nice viral marketing tool.
-Improved ease of moderation. Once you are logged in as an ADMIN you can view any message and either edit or delete a post using the admin tools at the bottom of each message.
-Improved message board community member tools. Once a member is logged in they too can edit or delete any of their messages at the bottom of the message posting.
-For each message category, you can assign an image icon to be associated. Thus when looking at the message board index page you can recognize all messages in a category by that image.
You can also click on a category image to display only messages relating to that category.

-For pricing information email billing@californiaimage.biz

The field is called "SORT". You can assign a number to this field to change the sequence of the products.

A value of 1 will move the product to the first position in the category list and store index. Any remaining products with no declared SORT value will be listed alphabetically by the product name.

We have also added a shipping option called "destination". Here you can assign a shipping option to a specific country. This will reduce the options available to your customers to allow for a more targeted shipping rate.

Password Mask- NO | YES If yes, areas that display password as visitor types it in will display asterisks instead of characters being typed.

This differs from the Print Order in that it lacks the payment information and customizable message to the customer which is described below.

To edit the receipt, go to:

Update General Site Text: And edit: "Printable Receipt Top (html)" You can add html such as an image reference to your main logo and a text thank you message..

Note, we recommend changing the print settings (page setup) before printing. Remove the header and footer to look professional and prevent disclosing the webpage administrative url.

To edit in the admin: Go to: Manage General Information: Click: General Site Text "Cart:Shop2.cfm"

This is ideal if you do not ship to P.O. Boxes and want to notify the customer before they go to the shipping selection screen.

We have automatically converted your product category entry into the multiple categories.

When you create a form there are some requirements to make it work with the script.

1.On your form tag, make sure the following values are set:

form method="post" action="http://www.yoursite.com/admin/webpages/act_DEFrequest.cfm?submit=yes"

The action refers to the script file that processes all the form names and values to send in an email to you.

This file does not need editing.

2.The file will take the customers information and store in the master contacts database if you set StoreinDatabase to the value "yes".

To do this successfully each form that is created needs to have the input boxes named in a uniform manner.

Thus the following fields should always be included and always be named as follows: EmailSubject <P> (value is name of product customer is requesting information about) <P> <input type="hidden" name="Emailsubject" value="Contact request form"> <P> <input type="hidden" name="StoreinDatabase" value="yes"> or value = "no" <P> <input type="text" name="Phone"> optional if stored in database <P> <input type="text" name="Email"> optional if stored in database <P> <input type="text" name="Firstname"> optional if stored in database <P> <input type="text" name="Lastname"> optional if stored in database <P> <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <P> You can also use other input types ex: <P> <input type="radio" name="Subject" value="Cooling" selected> <P>

3a.If your site takes advantage of coldfusion and we designed your site you can place the following tags at the top and bottom of your page: This will render the design of the site so your webpage will not need to include all the extra design html.

4a.Then save the form with the extension .cfm rather than .html so that the page can activate the cold fusion scripts.

You can now setup Multi-Buy discounts. The more the customer buys, the more of a discount you can setup for them to receive.

You set the purchase level and the price per item if the customer adds that many products into their cart. If the level is not met, the price will resort to the products base price.

You can combine Multi-Buy discounts with a Simple Discount. The simple discount price will be the default untill the quantity specified in the multi buy discount is met.

Contact-us to turn on these hidden fields.

The goal of the table is so that you can reduce the number of products on the site and consolidate onto a primary product page.

Ex. If you sell latex paint, you can have product attributes which are the different colors listed in a table. Therefor the customer doesn't need to go page by page looking for a specfic color.

The admin utility will have these changes shortly, till then you can request our customer service to toggle the fields as needed.

Customers will view by default their order history when logging in. They will have a quick buy enabled to order previously purchased items.

Administrators can better look up customers order history by ordernumber or email address.
