What
is on the EROL CD for Secure Trading
On the EROL CD you will find a Secure Trading folder containing a Templates
subfolder.
The
folder contains the following files:
- form.html
- success.html
- failure.html
- customeremail.txt
- merchantemail.txt
- failureemail.txt
The
default Secure Trading files
These are all the files you will need to successfully set up your EROL order
process with the Secure Trading transaction system: These pages cannot be
edited in EROL itself but can be customised to suit the look and feel of your
store using any web editor. Ensure that all hidden fields already in these pages
are not deleted or removed.
- form.html - Your credit card Order Form. This gets displayed once a customer
has clicked on 'Send Order' from EROL.
- success.html - This page is displayed once a successful transaction has been
made.
- failure.html - This page is displayed if a transaction fails.
- merchantemail.txt - This file contains the text contents sent via e-mail to
you, the vendor, after a successful transaction.
- failureemail.txt - This file contains the text contents sent via e-mail to
you, the vendor, after a transaction fails. The customer will not receive this
e-mail.
- customeremail.txt - This file contains the text contents sent via e-mail to
your customer after a successful transaction
Customising
the HTML pages
The HTML files can be edited to allow you to customise the look of your order
form. Any images you use in these pages must be submitted to support@securetrading.com
when you send your templates in for uploading to your server account.
To work on the Secure trading server, images used in the HTML files should
have the image source path set to the following:
- <img src="$path/your_logo.gif">
where '$path' is resolved automatically in the page once your pages are on the
server.
With this in mind you can now add images to completely design and customise
your order form pages on the Secure Trading server.
By default, the HTML files contain all the necessary fields to work with EROL.
You may, however, choose to edit these files to remove some of the fields that
your store does not require ie. 'Additional Field'.
Similarly, you may edit the three e-mail TXT files by removing fields labels
or adding additional copy pertaining to your store.
Testing
your EROL store before going live
Your Secure Trading account is automatically set to Test Mode. Whilst in Test
Mode, the server simulates your live store functionality, allowing you to thoroughly
test your EROL store before actually going live.
Setting
up your EROL/Secure Trading Account
In the Store Settings window, click on Payment in the menu. This will bring
up the Payment tabs. Click on Gateways tab and several fields will appear. To
use Secure Trading, select Secure Trading from the 'Order Method' dropdown.
The fields required to enable the connection to your Secure Trading account
will become active.
The active fields
are:
- Target Script: This will automatically be filled with the correct path
to the script.
- Merchant ID: This will be given to you by Secure Trading.
- Your Email: Insert the recipient email address for all orders.
Testing
your EROL store before going live
Whilst your account is in Test Mode, your payment order form is secure but only
valid test card numbers can be used to create successful transactions. These
numbers are available from Secure Trading. E-mail support@securetrading.com
with your Merchant ID reference number.
Going live
After activating your Secure Trading account, you do not need to change any
of the settings within EROL.
