Version 5.9
The Order Manager uses hundreds of System Parameters to tailor the program to a merchant's way of doing business.
Each system parameter is associated with a particular parameter group, based on its function. One way of viewing system parameters is to select a specific Parameter Group at the Set System Parameters screen. It is also possible to search for a parameter by entering a portion of its name.
While some parameters could logically belong to more than one parameter group, the program only assigns a parameter to a single group. Be sure to look for other related group names when researching the available parameters for a particular function.
To change a system parameter, go to the Maintenance Menu and double-click [Set System Parameters] from the list of links, or select [System Parameters] from the Quick Clicks on the Main Menu. For instructions, review the Knowledge Base topic Set System Parameters.
This topic describes the parameters that are part of the Generic Carts parameter group. Review the following parameters and set them in accordance with your custom integration.
Refer to the Developer's Guide for specific information about developing a custom integration with a shopping cart system that is not yet integrated with the Order Manager.
