Shopping Cart Advanced Tips

joe @ July 12, 2008

Now that you have your Memberspeed Shopping Cart installed and tweeked… You’re all set to start selling, but there is one nagging problem…

Your installation looks like all the other MemberSpeed Shopping Carts just with a different color scheme.

What you really want to do is take your website design to the next level.

What you really want is a unique website, one like no other.. well if that is what you want you’ve come to the right place.

As I learn more about what controls what, I’ll post  the advanced hi-lites and Tips here.

Things like, did you know the MS Shopping cart appearance is controlled by it’s own styles sheet file.  By editing this css file you can hide text and eliminate design elements that are hard coded into the software.

I’m not sure what form this section is going to take on as time goes on.. we’ll just have to see, if you have discovered a “trick” please share it…

Before you do anything… grab a pen and note pad to document the changes you are making, this is really important, because every time you update or upgrade Memberspeed your edited page are at risk of being over written, we have no way of knowing what code has been chaned or improved.

Without accurate  documentation you have no easy way to restore any changes that are over written. or to even know what you changed.

DO NOT depend on your memory, it will play tricks on you.. You most likely will not be able to remember what was changed and how it was done. Especially if you have more then one website and any sort of a life out side of the internet…
