Installing the Integration Script in AbleCommerce Stores, prior to Version 7

  1. Use any FTP program to upload the appropriate script to the web server where your AbleCommerce store is installed. The script must be placed in the subdirectory named after your store’s store number, such as "http://www.mystore.com/acb/stores/1/".

  2. Go to Maintenance Menu>Cart Functions>Create/Edit Shopping Carts (also may be accessible from Quick Clicks on the main menu) and select the appropriate shopping cart from the Current Carts List box.

  3. Click the Edit button.

  4. In the Group and Store ID field, enter the numeric identifiers for your store, separated by a tilde, e.g. 2~7.

    1. These values are shown in the URL while shopping in your store. For example, if your Store Group ID (SGID) is 2 and Store ID (SID) is 7 you would see SGID=2&SID=7 in the address bar when viewing your store.

    2. For Ablecommerce versions 5.5 and above, set the Store Group ID to 1 (one) and the Store ID to 1 (one).

  5. Click the Save button.

  6. Re-open the shopping cart definition. Click the Test Script URL button to verify that the script can be accessed. Refer to Setting Up an AbleCommerce Shopping Cart.

 

Installing the Integration Script in AbleCommerce Stores, Version 7

The following directions can also be found in the setup.txt file that is distributed with the script:

 

Installing SETIService.ashx on your AbleCommerce V7 Website

 

  1. FTP the SETIService.ashx script into the "StoreDirectory"/ClientApi/ folder

  2. Edit the ablecommerce.config file found in the "StoreDirectory"/App_Data/ folder.

    1. Add the following line to the "SecurePages" "Directories" section of the config file:

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

  1. Save and close the ablecommerce.config file.

  2. Enter www.yourdomain.com/"storedirectory"/ClientAPI/SETIService.ashx into the Script URL field of the Order Manager's Shopping Cart definition (Create/Edit Shopping Carts), where www.yourdomain.com represents the server's domain name and StoreDirectory represents the Store's installation directory.

Note: The default installation of Able Commerce 7 creates a store directory of Able7.

  1. Group ID and Store ID are not needed for the setup of an AbleCommerce 7 store, leave the values set to zero.

  2. Click the Save button to save the changes to the Shopping Cart definition.

  3. Re-open the shopping cart definition and select the Test Script URL button to verify that the script can be accessed. Refer to Setting Up an AbleCommerce Shopping Cart.
