E-Junkie Integration - Novice Designer

[bern]

Hi I am going to be taking tournament registrations through my website and the tournaments will be hosted in the highlands, scotland. I intend on using e-junkie. Before installing e-junkie to use with dreamweaver there are a few things that i am unsure about with the integration of the shopping cart. I would be grateful for your comments.



1. With the response automated email generated after a payment has been made, i see that u can set up fields which personalise the email with $first, $last name etc.. does e-junkie find the user information through paypal?, or is it the membership database MySQL through my server hosting?, or is it through a databse on e-junkie?



2. With the Inventory Management, i need to set the number of tournament registrations availbale to the number of places available in the tournament. If i re-upload the tournament page to add new tournaments and still have some existing tournaments that some people have paid for, does e-junkie remeber the tournament places that have been paid for (i.e. if there are 10 places available and 2 have been purchased, when i re-upload the tournament page with the existing ones and the new ones, will e-junkie inventory management know that there are only 8 places left? Or do i need to wait until all of the tournaments have been sold and then upload the new ones and set the shopping cart accordingly?



3. I see that a view cart button is generated for each product. Will 1 view cart button at the top of my members page work for all of my individual tournaments (products)?



Thanks, Bern Robson

Hello,



1 - We get the information from PayPal (or the payment processor being used) when they notify us of a completed payment. If you need us to then pass that information on to a database of your own you can use our third party integration feature:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.integration.htm



2 - We will be tracking inventory by internal numbers, not based on what is on your website, so if you start with an inventory value of 10 and make 2 sales your inventory would be listed as 8 within our system for that product. If you would like to add to that you can simply raise that number while editing the product, which you can do at any time.



3 - Your View Cart button is consistent across your account, it will appear the same for every product you add. One View Cart button on a page will be sufficient for any number of Add to Cart buttons for different products.
