| Cart Start
This button will display the main menu in the browser area each time it is clicked. There is a small arrow button on the right side of this button to give you quick access to the four main functions of the program.
|
| Store Wizard
The Store Wizard is what holds all of your company information, your contacts, URLs and other company specific info. When you set up a new store this is the first wizard you will use. If you ever need to modify your company info just click this button to edit your company info.
|
| New Product
To add a new product to your store just click the New Product button on the RealCart toolbar. The product wizard will appear allowing you to enter a new product. There is no limit to how many products you can add to RealCart. The only limitation on your store is the amount of web space available to you on your web server.
|
| Edit Product
To edit an existing product just select the product on the left side of the program window that you want to edit and click the Edit Product button on the RealCart toolbar. (If no product is selected this button will be grayed out.)
|
| Copy Product
To copy an existing product just select the product on the left side of the program window that you want to copy and click the Copy Product button on the RealCart toolbar. Copying a product is useful for adding a product that is very similar to an existing product in your store. After copying a product you can then edit the product to change the things that are different including stock number, names and description. (If no product is selected this button will be grayed out.)
|
| Delete Product
To delete an existing product just select the product on the left side of the program window that you want to delete and click the Delete Product button on the RealCart toolbar. You can also delete a product by removing it from the All Products department. (If no product is selected this button will be grayed out.)
|
| Checkout Wizard
The checkout wizard allows you to configure how RealCart will process orders. This is also the wizard where you will define your shipping and sales tax rates. |
| View Cart
This button will allow you to view your store off-line. This button will only work after you have completed the entire setup process (including publishing) This is a handy way to test all aspects of your store except for ordering. Testing ordering must be done on your on-line store. The small arrow to the right of this button allows you to view your on-line store. Ironically the View Cart button always seems to appear on other shopping cart pages. RealCart is always visible to the shopper so there is no need for a View Cart button on your site.
| Publishing Wizard
The publishing wizard allows you to publish your store to your web site. Although our publishing wizard is compatible with the vast majority of web servers in some cases you may need to use a third party FTP client to publish your store instead of the publishing wizard. | |
| Back
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Back button does in your browser. RealCarts built-in browser makes it convenient for you to browse the internet without constantly switching between windows.
|
| Forward
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Forward button does in your browser. This button will be grayed out if you have not used your back button. |
| Stop
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Stop button does in your browser. RealCarts built-in browser makes it convenient for you to browse the internet without constantly switching between windows.
|
| Refresh
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Refresh (or Reload) button does in your browser. |
| Home
This button will load the main menu into RealCarts built-in browser. |
| Search
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Search button does in your browser. Click it to do a quick internet search. |
| Properties
This button will display the properties of the page currently displayed in RealCarts built-in browser. |
| Rebuild Page
This is one of the most important buttons in the program. Clicking Rebuild Page will literally Rebuild the currently visible catalog, department or product page by combining your store and product data with the template again and redisplaying it in your browser. This is a very handy button if you are customizing the templates and want to see the results of your modification instantly.
|
| Rebuild All Pages
This button behaves just like the Rebuild Page button but it rebuilds all of your pages at once instead of rebuilding only the visible page. You will generally want to rebuild all of your pages if you have made a change to the templates and are ready to add the change to your entire store. |
| Edit
This button works in conjunction with FrontPage. If you do not have FrontPage this button will not do anything. |
| Print
This button behaves exactly the same way that the Print button does in your browser. Click it to print the current page. |
