Web Editor Interface Help


Overview

Any web site can be easily modified to have shopping cart functions. Shopping cart code can be added to any HTML file. Pageville creates code for both Pageville and PayPal shopping carts.

Pageville's Shopping Cart Editor makes it easy to add shopping functions to your web site. Continue using whatever program you used to create and maintain your web page content. The Shopping Cart Editor takes images you select on your site and creates hyperlink code to turn those images into BUY or CHECKOUT buttons.

The Shopping Cart Editor works with several web page editors via Plugins, Macros or Extensions. If you have existing shopping buttons that you want to convert to PayPal or Pageville shopping (for the extra features), using an editor with one of these specialized interfaces allows you to convert many buttons at once. If you are just adding your first shopping buttons, the specialized interface makes the whole process more seamless.   See below

If your web page editor does not have a specialized interface for Pageville Shopping, you can still run Pageville's Shopping Cart Editor using the Shopping Cart Interface (included). The Interface provides functions to bring up the shopping cart edit window and to place the hyperlink code into the clipboard. All you do is paste the hyperlink into your web page using your document editor.

Pageville Shopping Cart Interface

The Shopping Cart Interface allows you to easily access all of Pageville's Shopping Cart functions. The first time you use the Interface, specify whether you are using an HTML or text editor (only required once). Then you can start entering information about your sales items and linking this information to images on your site. To help your customers navigate your site, read about the Return HTML Filename below.
 

Functions

  Add/Modify Shopping Input information about the items you intend to sell. Use the created hyperlink code with the image that your customers will click on to buy this item.
Review and Checkout Select your checkout image and then click on Review and Checkout.
Cancel Shopping Closes the Add/Modify Shopping window. (It can also be closed from that window.)
HTML Editor or Text Editor Output Toggle between HTML or Text Editor Output. This item should be set only once. The shopping cart editor needs to know which type of editor in order to properly format the link code.
Return HTML Filename Optional - this is the filename of a web page on your site. When a customer goes to the Checkout page, there should be a link to return them to either the product page they came from, or another page on your site.
Allow POP UP Windows When this is checked, pop up buy button windows can be created. HOWEVER the pop up windows will show a Javascript error UNLESS you add the following function into the header (before the </HEAD> tag) of the web page:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!--//
    function PagevilleBuy(){
    return;
    }
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>

NOTE: In versions 1.0.336 and earlier: (1) the "Allow POP UP Windows" menu option was not included and (2) pop up windows would not work without pasting the above Javascript code into the header.
Exit Closes this window.

A Better Way...

Pageville's goal is to provide a specialized shopping cart interface to work with many different web page content editors. If your 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.
