General Web Sales Options
Enable Web Sales Enables sales to occur on the web.
  • If turned ON, a directory must exist on the TM primary server for
    • This outlet (eg 1/WebPagesEN or 2/WebPagesEN for each of multiple outlets that are active) -AND-
    • for each language that is active for the outlet. eg WebPagesEN and WebPagesFR if both english and french are supported
    Listeners will not start if the Director requires full web pages and either of the outlet directory and/or the WebPagesXX directory is missing. If the Director requires only custom pages, the web services will start using the current template pages.
  • If turned OFF, patrons will receive a message that the site is down.
Allow Anonymous Login Enabling this feature allows patrons to shop and add items to a web sopping cart without identifying themselves first. When the patron is ready to check out and pay, they will need to either:
  • login to an existing account -or-
  • create a new account if they have never purchased before

Optionally, if you also wish to give patrons the option to checkout without creating an account you can enable the limited profile patron option. When the option is enabled and the patron checks out, they will be given 3 options:

  • sign in to an existing account -or-
  • create a new account if they have never purchased before -or-
  • provide a minimum amount of data (name and email) which is sufficient to send a confirmation of the purchase
Note: Limited profile patrons have some benefits and disadvantages. Please review them before deciding to turn on the option.
Show Count down Timer When enabled, a timer will appear on the web pages menu bar beside the cart - showing how much time is left before the web listener releases all items in the cart. The timer will appear once there is something in the cart and is reset every time the patron looks at a new web page
Login Attempts The maximum number of login attempts before the patron's account is locked out and they must request their password to continue.
