TO ADD AN ITEM TO YOUR STORE
Go to your Page-Secure Store manager with your web browser using the link above and log in.
Add items to your store by typing in the form fields provided. You can view, modify, search and delete items using the store manager. Important: If your store is to include images, you can use the image upload tool. It is important to properly name the image exactly as it is uploaded when you add the item. The image name is also case sensitive. If after loading a product and image to your store, you don't see the image, you can modify the item record in the store manager.

In addition to your products being displayed from items in your database using the links provided, you may also add html to your web pages, as well as a "search engine" so visitors may search your store's database. This is useful if you run a weekly special, and wish to add it to your pages. Information on adding "add to cart html" to your pages can be found by clicking the link above titled "Your Customized Help Page".

YOUR STORE MANAGER
Your store manager has the following product categories: cat1, cat2, cat3, cat4
These categories are accessed by links you will place in your web pages.

Once you access your store manager, you will see the Main Menu page, which contains the image upload panel (if applicable) as well as the following links:
| Home | Add | View | Delete | Modify | List All | Admin | Log Off |
These links access different areas of your store manager.

Testing Your Shopping Cart
It is suggested that you test your site once you've added products to your store. This way you can see how the pages will interact with your customers, and make shipping charge adjustments if necessary. To do this, you will need a VISA number. We have a Fake/Dummy VISA for use to test your cart. It is as follows:
