Setting Up a Network Solutions Cart

These directions pertain to the Order Manager 5.8XX Beta series and higher.

The 5.8XX Beta series of the Order Manager has improved integration with Network Solutions carts, enabling direct import of orders, products, and customers.

Set Up in the Order Manager

1. Open the Shopping Carts dialog box in one of the following ways:

   1. Main Menu> Maintenance Menu> Cart Functions tab> Create/Edit Shopping Carts

   2. Quick Clicks> Create/Edit Shopping Cart button

   3. Quick Clicks> Store Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create and Edit Shopping Carts button

   4. Main Menu> Setup Functions> Store Setup Wizard> Shopping Carts tab> Create and Edit Shopping Carts button.

2. Click the Add Cart button.

3. Enter a Store Name. Note: You can name the store anything you wish as long as it is easily distinguishable from other shopping carts you may have.

4. Click on the down arrow of the drop-down box next to the Cart Type and select "Network Solutions". If the user is only licensed for one shopping cart type the Cart Type drop-down box will not be visible. Go on to the next step.

5. Click the Import Statuses button. Select the status of your new orders at Network Solutions. Order Manager will use this value to determine what orders are eligible to import from your Network Solutions cart.

Important Note: An Import Status must be selected or you will receive the message "No Orders to Import" when attempting to import orders via the Internet!

6. Click Save. Close the Shopping Carts screen.

Import First Batch of Orders

1. Go to Main Menu> Orders> Import. The Import Orders box opens.

2. Select your Network Solutions cart from the list.

3. In the Password field, type the Password that you use to log into your Network Solutions Control Panel.

4. Click Import via Internet.

5. Since this is your first import into the Order Manager, the First Import box opens.

   1. Choose Yes to import a range of existing orders (i.e., processed and shipped) into your shopping cart as Archived. After you click Yes, select the Last Order Date to Treat as Already Shipped from the calendar box that pops up.

• 1. Choose No to import all orders as Active.

  2. To restrict the number of orders imported into the Order Manager, type the order number that you want to be treated as the "last order imported" into the Enter Order Number field. The Order Manager will only import orders placed AFTER this order number.

6. At this point, the Order Manager will open a browser and redirect you to a Network Solutions authorization page. (Meanwhile, a "Redirect" message window will pop up in front of the Order Manager. Leave this message window open until you have completed the confirmation process at the Network Solutions authorization page.)

7. In the designated fields, enter your Storefront URL, User Name, and Password to authorize the Order Manager to download order, product, and customer data from your store site.

8. Click Go.

9. A Network Solutions authorization confirmation window will open.

10. Click the Cancel button in the lower right corner to close the browser window.

11. Go back to the Order Manager, where you left the Redirect message window open.

12. Click OK.

13. When the Order Manager has completed importing all of the orders in your shopping cart, you will see a confirmation message box. Click OK.

Note: Once Network Solutions authorizes the Order Manager, your login will be stored for about a year, so you won't be redirected to the authorization page the next time you import orders from your Network Solutions cart -- or for about one year.

To view your orders, return to the Import Orders dialog box and click View Orders from Last Import. The View Orders dialog box opens, automatically filtered by Orders from Last Import. These are your new orders.
