Setting Up an AbleCommerce Shopping Cart

Stone Edge can import AbleCommerce web orders directly from the shopping cart, but first you must define the shopping cart in the program.

Shopping carts can be defined the Setup Guide when you first install the program, or you can create it later through the Shopping Carts screen. In either case, you need to know URL where data is obtained from the website, and the credentials to access it.

Like many shopping carts, AbleCommerce needs an integration script provided by Monsoon Commerce, Inc. to be installed at your web store.

These instructions assume the web store (shopping cart) is already setup and accessible.

Configure the shopping cart

  1. Log into the download gateway using the credentials provided by Monsoon Commerce, Inc. when Stone Edge was purchased and download the SETIService.ashx script.
  2. FTP the script to the folder named "StoreDirectory"/ClientAPI/. Where StoreDirectory represents the store's installation directory.
  3. Edit the file named ablecommerce.config which is located in the "StoreDirectory"/App_Data folder.
  4. Locate the "SecurePages" "Directories" section of the config file and add the line,

                 <add path="ClientApi" recurse="true" state="Ignore" />

  1. Save the changes and close the ablecommerce.config file.

Configure Stone Edge

  1. Go to Main Menu>Settings>System Functions>Shopping Carts.

  1. Select Add New.

  2. Enter a value in Store Name.

  3. Select AbleCommerce from Cart Type.

  4. Enter your CartID/UserName.

  5. Enter your password in Cart Password and in Reenter Password.

  6. Enter the location of the integration script in Script URL. For example, www.yourdomain.com/"storedirectory"/ClientAPI/SETIService.ashx.

  7. AbleCommerce version 7 and higher does not need a value in the GroupID and StoreID fields.

  8. If your web store has payment encryption enabled, enter the Decryption Key.

  9. Select Save and the definition is added to the Carts List.

  10. Select Test Script URL to verify the script is accessible. This does not validate username, password, or decryption information, however.

  1. You should now be able to import products and customer records from AbleCommerce by selecting Import & Update Data.
  2. You can import orders from Main Menu>Import My Orders>Import My New Orders and choose AbleCommerce from the list of shopping carts.
