How It Works:
If you want to give
your customers immediate access to an online document, you can
use the sell-thru feature. First, you must create a file to
cross-reference the URLs of the documents you are selling to
their virtualCART
part numbers. When a customer adds this item to their shopping
cart and then submits the order, as soon as the payment information
is verified, the customer will be sent to the URL specified
in the cross-reference file. You will receive the payment information
in the usual manner.
Filling out
the Above Form:
Put in your cart-id,
password, and the URL of the page on your site containing
your crossreference file. As soon as the file uploads, delete
the file from your website so others cannot download it and
gain access to your valuable URLs.
Cross Reference
File Format:
"=elec==SF=partnumber","http://www.full-url.com/to-the/item_or_page"
"=elec==SF=nextpartnumber","http://www.full-url.com/to-the/next_item_or_page"
"=elec==SF=etcpartnumber","http://www.full-url.com/to-the/etc_item_or_page"
[See
an example here]
IMPORTANT Notes:
(yes, they're really important)
- File format
is easy to get from MS access (or other) export function.
- Begin part#
field of "item" variable with =elec= on applicable site
html pages.
- Include the
=SF= tag in the part# field so no shipping or insurance
charge is included.
- The partnumber
in the crossref file may or may not contain =elec=. Works
either way.
- Customers
only get URL's when using "online" checkout forms rather
than postal mail or FAX.
- Make your
urls impossible to guess. http://www.you.com/randomstring_filename.html
- This system
is not totally fraud-proof. Don't use this for anything
extremely valuable.
- To disable
this feature, just put in the url of an empty file.
