Picture: Member Login page is inserted Inside of a
page as big Member Login, or inserted on the
Top, or Left or Both of Top and Left of a page as a small
Quick Member Login. • In this step, you don't have to design any thing. Just use menu [INSERT] tool. • Members login must be registered first. Member's password is checked against PASSWORD field in table x_customer. • After registered, The register form sends Member the password to login. The information of member is saved in the table x_customer. Now let's begin |
| STEP BY STEP TO IMPLEMENT MEMBER LOGIN |
|
| IMPLEMENT THE MEMBER REGISTER PAGE |
| Member Register is the page the is used for Member to
register before they can login your web site. If they buy and check out,
they are automatically registered as member and can login. Here are features
of Member Register: • You don't design anything. Just know how to plug-in like Member Login. • Member Register Form is validate input data. • After Member Register, data collected is inserted into pre-build table: x_customer. Use myNet.Dbase to open it. • You can configure Member Register form using myNet.Office Member Collaboration Tool (Day 3) |
| STEP BY STEP TO IMPLEMENT MEMBER REGISTER PAGE. |
NOTE We will show you how to select different name fields, and
customize the data collection from customers look-up on table x_customer
by using the myNet.OFFICE Member Collaboration Tools in Day 3. For
example, in Member Register Form, you just want Members to register: Fname,
Lname, Email, Password (must in order to login), Title, Company. After
members login, they can update their account later. Too many registered
fields will push them away. |
| IMPLEMENT THE SEARCH PAGE AND QUICK
SEARCH GUI What is the Search and the Quick Search? When you use Product Catalog Tool to create the Title, Description, More Description, Promotion, Coupon, Price...These info can be searched according to Title, or Description, or Price, or Promotion. Search main page is more detail in category of each search. While Quick Search Gui is just submit the search to the main Search page, where you begin more detail search. You can put order check out from the Search display page. Search is a fastest way for people to get product right away without going through many pages in order to find things. You can open the search display page and change the format color you want. In this setup, you are not required any design or programming any thing. Usually, It takes a pro-web developers few days to implement a Search page. You can implement it in just 15 minutes. Now let's begin to implement the search. First, let's begin with the main search page.
![]() Picture: The main menu Search page displays search results by product Title. Click on [V] or Cart to add to shopping cart. Click [Complete Order] check-out. The Search and the beautiful display Product Show Case with promo, coupon, ready check-out order, will attract the customers. They have no time to read other pages. They just want to Search and Check-out. • Search keywords are saved in database for research. |
| CONCLUSION STEP 3 OF DAY 2 • The 3 other important webpages form must be implemented. They are: Member Login, Register, Search. To implement these pages, we don't ask you to design any thing. We just ask you learn how to plug-them in. If these pages built by pro-web developers, it could take weeks. Now, you with no web skills, no programming can do it for just 1 hour. |
STEP 4 OF DAY 2: Processing Online
Payment
myNet.Office has built in its shopping card many different payment options.
Make it easy for customers pay.
The payment options are: Credit Card, Check, Cash, Bill Me Later, PP_Credit (Pay
Pal), Online Banking and Get Quote.
We will discuss each of payment option and also let you know how to setup.
Let's begin
|
Customers select this payment option by using their Credit Card number from one of the following: VISA, MASTER CART, AMERICAN EXPRESS. |
![]() Picture: Part of Check out information: Payment Information. |
| FEATURES OF PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD • When customers select this payment option, it will display input card info like: Card Holder Name, Credit Card, Exp Date... The box input Credit Card number is red because it is built-in a mathematical formula that lets customers know right away this is not a valid card number. • When customers have completed check-out, all data of credit card info, such as: Pay By, Credit Card Number ... are saved in table database x_customer. • Run the SQL command: UPDATE x_customer SET card_num ='xxxx' will update all customer's credit card become "xxxx" if you don't want to keep them in database. |
| HOW TO SET UP CREDIT CARD PAYMENT
OPTION In order to charge customers who want to pay by using credit card, you need to setup a merchant account. There are different companies that provide different services and cost. Let exam few of payment options then select the one less cost.
COMPARE BETWEEN TWO THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS |
|
• Customers select payment options CHECK or BILL ME LATER must be an already member who has been approved by your business to allow them to pay by CHECK or BILL ME LATER. • Customers select payment options CASH if you offer local delivery like a restaurant. After check-out, the payment option is saved in both tables: x_customer and x_invoice in the same field name = PAID_BY = Cash or Check, or Bill Me Later. |
|
|
|
Customers select payment options GET
QUOTE to check-out when there are items that have no price list, or
price N/A, or price is not for public, or shipping cost is not sure and
calculated later. In the table: x_invoice in the
updated field name PAID_BY = Get Quote and STATUS =
quote. Which will differentiate this is a Quote not an Invoice. To
create Get Quote, the product item, you just enter price = 0.0$. Get Quote
only is not enough.
You also need to build tools to support Get Quote like we have the [Get
Quote Tool]. WHY SHOULD SHOPPING CART SUPPORT GET QUOTE? • There are product items you don't have or don't want to publish price. Different customers have different prices. • People may be afraid to phone, ask the price. That's why website should have Get Quote to attract more people to website. • Customers who select Get Quote from website are potential leads. Take it seriously. Use myNet.Dbase collaborate leads with other sales staffs. • It saves your Sales Team time. Give them tools to manage the potential lead customers. A Sales Person spends a lot of time for quotes, at least 20 quotes before he can sign one real deal. • If your shopping cart is not built-in Get Quote, you will lost a lot of potential buyers. • Many Supply Businesses, Distributors, B2Bs do business by Get Quote. • Let the myNet.Office take care of the Quote. You take care of the Deal. |
|
GET QUOTE USER EXPERIENCE - HOW DOES IT WORK? When customers selected Get Quote, after check-out, an email is sent to both customer and various in-house staffs like sales people. The sales staff who receives email will use a tool called [Get Quote Tool] • It there is no order, the Quote Invoices are kept in database table x_invoice until you delete them. This simple script SQL will do the job: Delete from x_invoice where STATUS ='quote'. Where x_invoice is a table where it stores all online transaction invoices. STATUS is its field. • Get Quote gives the customers time to buy. Customers can buy anytime any days by login into their account. Because the price may be changed, every time customers click on button [ Order ? ] on the List Order History, it will re-connect to database to update the latest price. • Since every online quote is kept in database, the Sales People can easily keep track or manage them. Or collaborate with other Sales People in order to contact customers. A simple SQL script: Select * from x_invoice where Status ='quote' will list all quote invoices and their customers who are also future potential leads customers. Customers may not buy but likely Get Quote. 10000 people visit your website and Get Quote which translates into 10000 potential customers. NOTE If your Sales Team spends 30 minutes for each Quote on average. In order to service 10000 quotes, your Sales Team will spend 32 months or about 3 years just to make quote. That is not including time back and forth with customers. But if quote online, it is nothing. |
|
|
| Customers who select payment options PP_CREDIT to check-out will send to Pay Pal website and complete their payment there. After paid, they will be sent back to your website. FEES: Pay Pal charges from 1.9% - 2.5 % per transaction. For example, if you sell a day 1000.0$ your fee = 20.0$. That is it. No hidden. |
|
BENEFITS OF BUILT-IN PAYPAL PAYMENT OPTION • It is the cheapest in all third-party payment providers: NO SETUP FEE + NO CHECK CREDIT + NO NEED BUSINESS REGISTER + NO MONTHLY FEE + NO ANY REQUIREMENT. All you need is an email used for to setup your Pay Pal account. • It is the most secure payment website used by eBay for millions of transactions a day. Pay Pal is bought by EBay for few billions dollars. Users will not worry about the website they buy collecting their credit card number because Pay Pal takes care all transaction. |
| STEP TO SETUP |
|
• Visit Pay Pal website at:
www.PayPal.com and
register. You don't need a business name, or any thing. You need an email
that is used as your account information. • To setup Pay Pal account requires you to provide you bank account number so that transaction money is deposited from Pay Pal bank account into your bank account. You don't need to setup Tax, Pst, Gst percent because we have setup to overwrite locally. You need to setup them in myNet.Office table x_shop_property the Pst, Gst, Shipping...We will discuss the setup shopping cart property later. • As a seller member of PayPal, you can login and view history of all transaction... |
| THE CHECK-OUT FILL INFO FORM SCREEN AND PAY PAL CHECK-OUT USER EXPERIENCE - ONE STEP ONE SCREEN TO CHECK OUT |
![]() Picture: This is myNet.Office Check-Out Fill Info Form screen. Users select Pay Pal ( PP_Credit). Then click on button [Complete Order] to check out. Users check-out must satisfy all the required fields with (*) otherwise they can't check-out. There is only one screen and one step to check-out completely. |
![]() Picture: Next, myNet.Page Shopping Cart uploads all shopping card purchase items to Pay Pal Shopping Cart at Pay Pal secure website. Now, users have 2 options: On the Left side for users who are not or don't want to be a Pay Pal member to check out. Click on button [Continue] to check out next screen. On the Right side for uses who are already Pay Pal members or eBay members because Pay Pal is used by eBay. They will login their account, and pay quickly. |
![]() Picture: Next, this Pay Pal Shopping Cart screen, users need only to enter credit card number info. Other user's info like Name, Address, Phone... are programming uploaded to Pay Pal shopping cart, no need to enter. Finally, users pay to complete the transaction. DONE! After completed, users transfer back to myNet.Office website. Pay Pal sends invoice emails to both users and the sellers. NOTE: Users cancel and return to seller website. The sellers don't know the buyers credit card numbers. Buyers don't need to be Pay Pal member or register in order to pay. |
|
CONCLUSION THE SETUP PAY PAL PAYMENT OPTION • Every thing has been programmed built-in myNet.Page Shopping Cart to support Pay Pal. • For the buyers use Pay Pal, there is no difference to pay at Pay Pal shopping card or to pay at web site shopping card. They just enter credit card number then pay like pay at the web site shopping card. They don't need to register with Pay Pal as member. The buyers are more safe. Because if the buyers buy at the web site shopping cart, the seller - the owner of the web site - needs to collect the buyers credit card number in order to process. So you don't know how the sellers would protect that info. But the buyers buy at Pay Pal shopping cart, like above example, have their credit card info protected. The sellers don't know their credit card number. Only Pay Pal knows. Also, Pay Pal is the biggest credit card processing company, used by 100 millions eBay users around the world. Pay Pal also provides insurance protection for the buyers. www.PayPal.com • Why Pay Pal is so good and safe but it is not built by a lot of websites as another payment option even Pay Pal doesn't charge monthly fee? The reason is that: - The web developer must learn to program Pay Pal in order to merge Pay Pal shopping Card with web site shopping card. It is easy to program a normal shopping card then collect customer credit card number than to program Pay Pal shopping card. If the seller's web site doesn't support Pay Pal will loose a lot of customers. |

|
• It is the most least
expensive payment that we have designed and built-in myNet.Page shopping
cart. FEES: NO CREATE ACCOUNT + NO HEADACHE + NO SETUP FEE + NO MONTHLY FEE + NO TRANSACTION FEE (like 1.9% - 2.9% charged by Visa, MasterCard) + Almost cost nothing. For example, you sell a thousands dollars transaction with other payment method like Credit Card, or Pay Pal will cost you minimum 25.0$. But with Online Banking payment option will cost you the seller only 2.0$ - 3.0 $. Huge saving fees for businesses. • It is safe and easy to do. Because users login their Online Banking and pay like almost any house hold mothers know how to to pay their bills online. • There are always records of transaction. When customers pay you they have records in their banking account. When you receive money, you also have record in your own bank account. After complete transaction, myNet.Office Email Manager sends email invoice receive to both the seller and the buyers. • This is special design only in myNet.Page Shopping Card that there is no other shopping card in the world can do so. We may be the first. If not, others may copy our ideas. You shop you know what we mean. |
|
|
|
• Pay By CREDIT Users select pay by credit will user their credit card numbers. myNet.Office will save the credit card number in database. It is up to you to process them such as using POS ATM or register with a third party payment like PSI Gate... If you sell online you may already have taken Orders by Phone too. So you can process them like Phone Order. This is the cheapest fees if compared to the third party process payment like Global Payment, PSIGate. |
|
• Pay By CASH, CHECK, BILL ME LATER There is no setup fees if users choose to pay this way. But you must check their profile, credit first. CASH payment is used for local delivery like restaurants. |
|
• Pay By PAY PAL Users chose to pay this way when they don't want to reveal their credit card number. They trust in Pay Pal a big company to process their payment. Only Pay Pal knows users' info. Also for users who are already bought on eBay that uses Pay Pal for its online payment. |
|
• Pay By GET QUOTE Users select product item with price entered = 0.0$ when you use Product Catalog Design Tool to build catalog. We also build Sales Invoice Quote Tool that lets you process quote quickly. |
|
• Pay By ONLINE BANKING Users chose to pay this way when they don't want to pay using their credit card number but login their online banking. It is easy to pay just like every mom knows how to pay their bills. It is the least expensive fees. There are few shopping cart are built in this payment option. |
| It is up to you to provide more payment info at your website. You can select any method payment by setup its shopping card property that we will discuss in STEP 6. In all our selected built-in payment options don't cost you: SETUP FEE + MONTHLY FEE. Only transaction fees from 1.9% - 2.9 % charged by credit card company or by Pay Pal. Big saving. Use Check or Bill Me Later, or Get Quote for B2B business transaction. Setup Get Quote for Product Items you setup price =0 by Product Shopping Cart Tool. |

• We understand that
myNet.Office is designed for users who have not any web database skills
can manage and maintain database. So we make the design database simple. There are 3 pre-built in tables storing all orders and transaction online: x_Customer, x_Invoice, and x_OrderDetail • x_Customer: is the table contains all information collected about customers, including: Address, Name, Phone, Email... x_Customer has the table relationship: 1-to-Many with table x_Invoice. It has 36 fields. You can always expand, add extra fields (columns) into table x_Customer to satisfy your needs. • x_Invoice: is the table contains all information collected about invoice, including: Delivery Address, Name, Phone, Email... x_Invoice has the table relationship: 1-to-Many with table x_Customer and1-to-Many with x_OrderDetail. It has 40 fields. You can always expand, add extra fields into table x_Invoice. • x_OrderDetail: is the table contains all product detail information collected for that invoice, including: Product Title, Price, Quantity. x_OrderDetail has the table relationship: 1-to-Many with table x_Invoice. • To Expand Tables, Add more Fields In Order To Collect More Info And Collaboration There are 2 different ways: 1) Use myNet.Dbase to add on new columns (or fields). A table should not have more than 64 fields. (See topic: WORKING WITH myNET.DBASE) 2) OR: Create a new table and setup 1-to-1 relationship with that table. (See HOW TO EXTEND A TABLE BY CREATING A NEW RELATED TABLE) • myNet.Office collect limited necessary data from customers during a check-out, fields in ( * ) such as: Name, Address, Time Order, Company...If you want to collect more data about customers for your business logic's needs. Then create new tables. Use Member Collaboration to create more tasks for members to collaborate more info. |

In this STEP 6, you will learn How-to: • Customized the Check-out Fill Info Form screen (see above screen) the [Shipping Priority] box, such as a list of option delivery your choice, like: UBS Air Mail, Normal, Fast. Customized the [Local Area Code Delivery] box by specifies the limited delivery area if your business is a restaurant, such as deliver in area code= M2G1A5, M3G1A6 only. Customize the [Delivery Tip] box enable or disable. Customize the [Paid_By] option list by enable (display) or disable (not display) any of the payment option. For example, you don't want customer pay by Cash option. • Customized the Shopping Cart screen to enable or disable the Extra Note, Coupon input. • Select Shipping Cost based on Ranger of Total Order, Percentage of Total Order, or Total Weight |
|
|
|
|
|
In this STEP 7, you will learn How-to Calculate
the shipping cost using Pay Pal methods: Flat rate or Percentage rate based
on price ranges in order to calculate shipping cost. • myNet.Office overwrites Pay Pal's calculation shipping cost. But use the same calculation methods just extend domestic and international which Pay Pal doesn't have. • myNet.Office also adds an extra method of calculation shipping cost based on total weight. |
|
|
|
|
|
When selling on line, there are 2 important calculations you must do:
Calculate Shipping and Calculate Taxes. We have learnt Calculate Shipping. Now let's do Calculate Taxes. |
|
CONCLUSION OF DAY 1 and Day 2 You learn to setup or configure the following tasks with absolutely no programming involved. Here is the summary of Day 1 and Day 2.
After Day 1 and Day 2, you will be able to build a powerful ecommerce website to sell your products and services online. But you just build only Sales Department. Other Operation and Support Department, Marketing Department are not finished yet. Most importantly, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR ONLINE DESTINATION. |
|
That's it for DAY 2 - There are a lot of
exciting things to do ahead in DAY 3: myNet.Office
Member Collaboration. If you think too much. Think again. Look at Yahoo Site Builder more than 400 pages. See you there. |
