Hi, hoping someone can help with this.



I'd like to create a shop cart effect within my website store. There are 10 items, for example, that are in one overall product that once someone clicks on an "add to car" they would see the option to add several items to the cart OR select the bundle price for all 10 items at a discount.



I can't find within ejunkie where or how to set this up. I already have the one bundle of 10 in the ejunkie store. How do I go about creating a cart where more options are listed and all the buyer needs to do is check what they want and they are added up.



Thanks in advance!

I'm not quite sure I follow what you mean, so that may also confuse buyers who are familiar with most other online shopping carts that work like a real-world shopping cart:

Once you set up your products in E-junkie Seller Admin, we provide you with ready-made HTML codes for your cart buttons. You would simply copy the codes from us and paste them into the HTML source of your own Web site pages, wherever you want our buttons to appear among your own layout, text and images.



If you have created a "bundle" product in Seller Admin, you would simply paste the Add to Cart button for that product into your page, just like the button for any other individual product. Buyers who want the full bundle at a discount would simply click that Add to Cart button in your page; otherwise, they would click the Add to Cart buttons in your page for each individual product they want to order.



Our standard cart would appear as an overlay "inside" your own page, fitting within your site's existing layout and branding. Just make sure you paste at least one complete block of your View Cart code in every page that has any number of Add to Carts. The View Cart code manages the overlay-style cart in your page.

Thanks 'Crew' - should the 'view cart' be by every one of the individual choices offered?



Also, I had trouble today with the thank you page. I created a message to direct the buyer to their email where they will receive the link to a download page for the item, which I have on a passworded page on my site, so I send them the pw too.



However, I can't get the default 'click here for download' on the thank you page, which of course clicks to a message that says 'no download available' because it's not being stored via EJ. Can you direct me as to how to take these out? Also, I edited the page and did the refresh directions as in the tutorial, even dumped my EJ cookies, and I can't get a new view.



So, these 2 issues are a problem before I can proceed.



more questions:



1) Is it possible to have subscriptions via EJ with my pp account?

2) How to config so a purchase automatically adds someone to my aweber list?



Next to figure out how to loop in my affiliates!

Once you set up your products in E-junkie Seller Admin, we provide you with ready-made HTML codes for your cart buttons. You would simply copy the codes from us and paste them into the HTML source of your own Web site pages, wherever you want our buttons to appear among your own layout, text and images.



Note the difference between View Cart vs. Add to Cart button codes. Each product has its own, unique Add to Cart button code, so paste that wherever in your site you want buyers to be able to add the corresponding item to their cart order. Your View Cart code is unique to you but the same for all of your products, so just make sure you paste one complete block of your View Cart code on every page that has any number of Add to Carts. The View Cart code manages the nice overlay-style cart that appears "inside" your page, and the View Cart button itself lets buyers view their cart order without having to add a new item to their cart.



A download link is appearing on the thank-you page we generate for you because you have enabled Single File Download in the product's settings, which you should only use if you provide us with a file to deliver to buyers. Normally, after the buyer finishes checkout and the payment processor confirms the buyer's payment was good and completed, we grant the buyer access to a unique thank-you page we generate for each transaction, where we automatically present the buyer's unique download link(s).



The download links we issue would expire after the number of attempts or hours (whichever comes first) that you specify in each product's settings, so even if a buyer shares their link with others, it soon becomes useless to everyone. We also send the buyer a thank-you email message for digital products, which automatically includes a link to reach the thank-you/download page in case they did not proceed to the download page after checkout.



If you would prefer to send buyers to a download page on your site, you would use the Redirection option in the product's settings, rather than using Single File Download if we aren't actually delivering the download for you. In this case, the link we provide on the thank-you page would access whatever Redirection URL you specify for the product, rather than starting a direct file download.



However, while we can expire these redirection links just like download links, buyers could still save the URL of the actual page on your site where they land after the redirection. The buyer could then share the URL of your site's download page and share the password you provide to access that page with others, who could simply visit that URL directly and enter the password to obtain a download without paying you first. This is why we recommend using our built-in download delivery feature, so we can issue each buyer their own, unique, expirable link to control such download theft.



Our system has no way of handling recurring payments such as a periodic subscription or installment plan. You may want to look into using PayPal's own Recurring Payments solution as-is or combined with a purpose-built membership management system such as FrontDeskApp, CheddarGetter, etc. You can use PayPal Recurring Payments at the same time as using E-junkie with PayPal, and they won't interfere with each other at all.



This help page section explains how to have us submit your buyers' name and email to Aweber:

We have a built-in affiliate system you may wish to use; this help page explains how that system and its settings work:

Thank you for the links and great info. I'll contact you if I need any further assist. Thanks!

Thanks Crew, I followed the instructions for aweber and made a couple of test purchases and did not get the names added to my list. I did the parser as well as entering the code for the list into my account at ejunkie.



How might I troubleshoot this? I was able to get 10 digital products loaded into my account, and need the automatic email addition feature.



Thanks so much.

If you're testing with Free Checkouts, make sure you check the "Sign up for product updates and newsletters" checkbox on the Free Checkout screen to have that buyer info submitted to Aweber.



It appears you have enabled PayPal Pro in your Seller Admin > Payment Preferences screen, so bear in mind that card-based Direct Payment checkouts would have an opt-in checkbox on that checkout page. Express Checkouts using a buyer's PayPal account would opt-in all buyers automatically since PayPal does not provide an opt-in/-out option on their checkout site. Make sure you have also completed our PayPal Pro integration requirements:

If you change that setting in your Payment Preferences back to using PayPal Standard (rather than Pro), all buyers would go through PayPal's checkout site and be opted-in automatically, and most buyers without a PayPal account would still be given the option to pay with a charge card on PayPal's site:
