Cyber Cart Professional™
Version 1.0
The Next Generation of E-Commerce

You are about to visit our radio control car store, "SKOKIE". Skokie may appear to be an ordinary toy, with radio control cars for sale and a shopping cart to purchase the cars, but as you'll see, there's much more to Skokie than meets the eye...

  1. Start by taking a look at Skokie. This is an HTML format shopping cart page that you can customize yourself. This allows you to use your own web page formats, logo's, graphics, fonts, colors, etc.

    Although our demonstration is on one single web page with three items total, your Cyber Cart™ can be hundreds of pages with hundreds of items!

    Any customers that come directly to your website from your own advertising are your own. No Affiliates will receive credit for these sales, so no commission will be charged.

  2. Now how many cars can you sell by yourself? A limited amount, thats certain. What if you could multiply your efforts by enlisting an unlimited number of "Affiliates" that could promote and sell your cars for you, earning a commission for themselves by doing so?

    Sign up for an Affiliate Account now, to earn commission by selling our cars!

  3. Once you've completed and submitted your request... take off your "Affiliate" hat and pretend you are in charge of Skokie. It's now your job to approve that submission. View our Cyber Cart™ Administration panel, and approve the request you just made.

    This is what you'll be looking for on the main administration screen.Approve yourself

    Once you have pressed the "Administer Awaiting" button, a screen similar to the graphic below should appear. Be sure to click the radio button marked "Approve", then press "Process" to approve your account.Approval screen
    Once your account is approved, you should receive an email (if you used an email address of yours) which gives you a brief overview of the Cyber Cart Affiliate program.

    Each Affiliate is given their own unique URL

    Example: http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/redeem?(storeletters)(affiliate number)

    which is used to track purchases made by customer that were referred through that URL. Think of it like a marker. Although that customer doesn't realize it, when he or she clicks on a text or graphic link, that link marks him/her. The customer will never know that you are receiving commission for the sale, although Cyber Cart will keep detailed records.

  1. If you signed up for an account, you should now have your own unique link to our Skokie. Either upload the URL to any web page you own, or simply copy and paste that URL in any web browser and press ENTER. This will take you to our Skokie shopping cart once again, however, this time, you are marked! Anything purchased will be counted as commission towards your Affiliate account.

    If you do not have time to sign up for your own demonstration Affiliate account, use one that we've already created.

    You're about to visit Skokie from a link issued to our Affiliate coms102 (in this case, just a dummy account). When you add a book to your cart, you will notice that coms102 is the affiliate that receives credit for this sale (unless you entered previously from another affiliate link. Administration has the ability to give affiliates the right to a customer and their purchases for as long as the Administrator desires. The demonstration is set for 14 days.

    Visit Skokie now! This link will take you to our Skokie shopping cart, however, this time Cyber Cart will know that you were referred to our site by an Affiliate's link! That affiliate (coms102) will receive commission for anything you purchase.

  1. Once you have purchased a car or two, and have submitted your request, you should receive back an automatic email thanking you for your purchase request (if you used a valid address) and totalling the items you have requested to purchase.

    Unless you are using the Authorize.net real-time credit card authorizations (which Cyber Cart™ does offer), you will probably want to approve each purchase request manually. To do so, go back to our Administration panel and put your Skokie Administrator hat back on. :) This time we will be looking for the button marked:
    APPROVE TRANSACTIONS

    Transaction Approval button example

    Once you have pressed this button, you will be taken to the main approval administration area. Here is what you'll see:

    Transaction Approval administration area

    You are given three options with each transaction:

    1 - Approve the transaction
    2 - Deny the transaction
    3 - See more details on the transaction, before making a decision.

  1. If you select the first transaction only, and choose to see details on the transaction (you can choose an unlimited number of transactions to view details and approve/deny simultaneously), this is how the transaction would appear:
