3. Configurations-Edit Event Mailers

joe @ July 5, 2008

To begin setting up the MS Shopping Cart, start at System Configurations > Configure located on the lower left navigation menu

Click on the link configure link, a list will of configuration options will appear start at the first button and work your way through the list, each button will open a new page with settings that need to be set, each page has how to instructions.

TIP: When setting up your shopping cart there are several pages that are great opportunities to cross sell or up dell. For example, during the configuration of you shopping cart you will need to setup the Add Thanks Message after a new Member Registers Instructions

This page is a great place to add a special promotion or complementary affiliate product at the bottom of the page.

Add Thank You Page after an Order is placed sucessfully Instructions This page is a great place to add your up sell, your visitor just became your customer, their credit card is in hand and they are in a buying mood. Why not offer them an expanded version of what they just purchased. You can also offer your up sell in the thank you email the event mailer sends out.

It is very important to remember to never modify any MS token, they look like this __NAVIGATION__ a __ on either side of a word signifies a token. These tokens found in the html code of the templates, they are needed by the software to display the items they represent. You can rearrange, reorganize them and even delete the ones you will never need, but if you modify them they will not work.

Always test any change you make before moving to the next modification, this is especially true when editing any of the preset (default) templates.

TIP: the more you edit the MS templates to make them your own, the better you will be rank in the Search Engines and less your site will look like an also ran cookie cutter site.

Once you have edited the configuration settings it’s time to edit the event emailers.

Test each event email, send it to yourself, be sure it conveys the message you want sent to your customers. The Event Mailers do support html.
