Pagevilletm Quick Edit - User's Guide


includes Pageville Shopping Cart Editor

Add features and functions to your web site using Quick Edit to convert your existing shopping buttons to Pageville buttons. Quick Edit also converts to and from PayPal buttons. Pageville Quick Edit is designed to offer only basic text editing functions. Its main purpose is to support the Pageville Shopping Cart Editor. Quick Edit runs under Windows 98/ME/XP.
 

Getting Started - Preferences and Site Settings
Start Quick Edit, and click on the "Add Shopping" button. Before opening a file, you will get the message "You must have a BUY button in your document, select it and go to Add/Modify shopping!". Ignore the message and click on OK.

Next you should get a Shopping Cart ID (in Site Settings). The ID is free; it simply allows Pageville to store your preferences, settings, and other shopping data. Click on the "Get Shopping Cart ID" if you don't have one yet, or fill in an ID you already have. Enter the Merchant Name or name of the online store. Then click on the Type of Shopping Cart Service.

The Preferences tab allows you to determine how your shopping cart will function. Set your preferences prior to converting any shopping buttons.

 

How to Convert Shopping Cart Buttons
  • Open the web page containing your shopping buttons in Quick Edit.
  • Click either the "Add Shopping" or "Checkout" button. A message box will ask if you want to convert your shopping buttons. When you answer "yes", all of your shopping buttons will be converted as you specified in Preferences and Site Settings.
 

How to Add Shopping Cart Code
  • Save your web page in your current editor, and close the file.
  • Open the page in Quick Edit.
  • Position the cursor anywhere within the image code you want to use for a shopping button.
  • Click either the "Add Shopping" or "Checkout" button.
  • The Pageville Shopping Cart Editor is started, and you can provide the details needed to add shopping to your site.
 

A Better Way...
Pageville's goal is to provide an easy shopping cart interface to work with many different web page content editors. If your content editor does not have an integrated shopping cart editor, it is easy for its developers to add the Pageville Shopping Cart Editor. The user benefits by not needing to learn to use additional software; the web site editor adds a valuable feature, and Pageville processes more shopping carts.

Currently, Pageville's Shopping Cart Editor can be added to FrontPage with a plugin, and is bundled with Cool Page. Ask the creators of your content editor to add Pageville shopping. They can learn more at: Pageville Shopping Cart Editor API.
