Thank You Page?

[lovepairs]

Hi everyone,



I'm new here. I just set up my "Check-out Common Thank-You page. How can I preview it? Would very much like to see what it looks like.



Thank you,

Lovepairs

You can make a secret one time use discount code for yourself of 100% off the entire purchase. Then, go on to your site and use the code to buy something. Since the price will be $0.00 this initiates an e-junkie 'free checkout'. You'll go through the steps without charging yourself and be able to see your thank you page.



In addition, you should get the common thank you email. If you change things on your common thank you page you can just keep your thank you window up and refresh it to see those changes.



I'd drop the link to this, but I don't know which help article I found it in. I have tried it though and it does work.

This help page explains how to test various aspects of your setup:

This help page explains more about customizing your E-junkie-generated thank-you pages:

Also, note that you can click any order's Transaction ID in your E-junkie Transaction Log, which will bring up the thank-you page we'd generate for that order using your current thank-you page customization settings. :^)

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Much appreciated!



Just one more question:



What is really the advantage of using E-Junkie, which has a monthly fee, as opposed to using the Pay Pal "Buy Now" button, which has no fee attached to it? I might not be understanding this entire thing correctly, but the only advantage that I can see subscribing to E-Junkie is the "Social Networking" aspect of it; but am I wrong here, too?



Very interested in hearing a few users opinions about the above.



Many thanks,

Lovepairs

We provide features and services for the pre-checkout and post-checkout phases of an online purchase; while PayPal provides some very basic cart and purchase buttons and order-reporting features, ours are much more flexible, sophisticated, full-featured and just plain easier to use. In a manner of speaking, we provide the "bread" in an e-commerce "sandwich" where PayPal (or other payment processor) just provides the "meat" of checkout itself, where payment funds are exchanged; while PayPal does also offer some basic white bread, we give you thick-sliced artisan-crafted multigrain. :^)



For the pre-checkout shopping stage of purchase, we provide cart button codes that add a sophisticated shopping cart interface to your site that appears as an overlay "inside" your page (no unsettling popups nor change of domain or look and feel), with easy point'n'click product configuration and management via our Seller Admin interface (no more manually configuring button codes by hand like PayPal's standard buttons), which also makes our button codes tamper-proof (e.g., crooked buyers couldn't modify a copy of your E-junkie button code to alter the product's price). Our cart supports flexible and sophisticated discounts, sales tax and shipping calculation, and even buyer-editable pricing with minimum and suggested prices.



Post-checkout, we save the order details to a transaction log and send them to you in a Sale Notification email, send the buyer a thank-you email message, and generate a thank-you page where we would automatically present download links for any downloads they'd purchased, and we can forward the order data to custom/3rd-party services for additional post-processing needs. The download links we issue are unique to each buyer and would expire after the number of attempts or hours you specify, so they'd soon become useless even if a buyer tried to share their link with others. For eBook sellers, we can stamp the buyer's name, email address and unique transaction ID one very page of the PDF file they download, a strong deterrent to file sharing.



All of our features are summarized for your review here:
