please register it and support the SHAREWARE method of program distribution.

INTRODUCTION
------------
Shop Door is a door that allows you to sell merhcandise online. It has
unlimited capabilities as far as the number of items that may be sold. It
calculates shipping based on one of three method explained later.
I am open to any suggestions for improvements. Contact me at one of the
numbers in this documentation. I also will write custom version of this
program and other custom software. If you are interested contact me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET UP
------
YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTION EXACTLY FOR SHOP DOOR TO WORK.
If you have any trouble contact me at one of the tech support numbers listed
later.
1) It is recommended that Shop Door be run using a fossil driver. I have
tested it with and without. It works fine as far as I can tell without one
on DOS systems. However, the makers of JP Door (the door routines used)
suggest you use one. On a system running OS2, a fossil driver is required.
Just add it to the bbs session settings as a DOS_DEVICE.
If you need a fossil driver call my bbs (609)895-0398 and check the IBM
communication area for one or check your local bbs.
2) Create a directory off your bbs home directory for Shop Door.
Ex: c:\wc30\shopdoor
3) Copy the following files into the directory you created above.
STARTUP.ASC - (Optional) Screen you can put your company info on. ASCII
STARTUP.ANS - (Optional) Same as above. ANSI
SHOPDOOR.EXE - The main program.
SHOP#.CFG - Configuration file for Shop Door.
SHOPDOOR.KEY - Demo Key file.
UPS2.DAT - UPS shipping files.
UPS3.DAT -
UPS4.DAT -
UPS5.DAT -
UPS6.DAT -
UPS7.DAT -
UPS8.DAT -
CATALOG.DAT - Sample Catalog file.
ZONES.DAT - Sample UPS Zone Chart file
COMPANY.DAT - Edit this file and replace with your info.
RANGE.DAT - Example of a RANGE file. Explained later.
4) Now edit the SHOPDOOR.CFG file using any ascii text editor.
Place this file in the main Shop Door directory.
Line 1: Shop door main directory. Ex: C:\WC30\SHOPDOOR
Line 2: Path to door.sys. Make sure to put the '\' at the end.
Ex: C:\WC30\WCWORK\NODE1\
Line 3: Rate of Sales Tax. Ex: .07
Line 4: State. Ex: NJ
Line 5: Do you want Shop Door to calculate shipping? YES or NO.
Ex: YES
Line 6: If YES on line 5 what shipping method? WEIGHT, RANGE, PERITEM
WEIGHT calculates shipping based on UPS' weight chart and charges.
ONLY USE WEIGHT IF ALL ORDERS WILL BE UNDER 80 LBS TOTAL
RANGE calculates shipping charges based on the total amount of the
order. If an order is for example between $10 and $50 then $5
shipping may be charged.
PERITEM calculates shipping by adding the charge to ship each item
that was ordered.
SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO
Ex: WEIGHT
Line 7: Security level for people you want to have access to the order
files. MUST BE A NUMBER!
Ex: 1000
Line 8: Password to access the order files.
Ex: PASSWORD
5) Now create the door#.bat for Shop Door.
Ex:
echo off
cd\wc30\shopdoor ; Change to the main door directory
shopdoor shopdoor.cfg ; Run the program
cd\wc30 ; Restart your bbs if you terminate on doors
cat
6) Edit STARTUP.ASC and STARTUP.ANS so it contains information about your
company etc. These files should be the same except the .ANS is ANSI and
the .ASC is ASCII. These will be shown upon door entry.
7) Edit the COMPANY.DAT so it contains your company info. (ASCII)
8) Edit the UPS#.DAT files if you are using WEIGHT as the method to calculate
shipping. Get a copy of the UPS Ground Service Chart and in UPS2.DAT for
example place the column marked zone 2 residential in the file. Put one
figure. Do not use dollar signs! Do this for each UPS#.DAT. They are
plain ASCII files.
9) Edit the ZONES.DAT if you are using WEIGHT as the method to calculate
shipping. Get a copy of UPS Zone Chart and copy it into the file as the
example shows.
Ex:
004-005 3
010-011 2
012 2 ^ ^
^ ^ | |
| - +-+---- ZONE FOR THESE ZIP CODES
| |
----------FIRST THREE NUMBERS OF THE ZIP CODE
10) Edit the RANGE.DAT if you are using RANGE as the method to calculate
shipping. The file is plain ASCII with the following format.
Ex:
0 <-------Low end of the first price range.
10.00 <-------High end of the first price range.
2.00 <-------Shipping charge for the price range.
10.01 )
15.00 )-------SAME AS ABOVE (You may put as many ranges as you wish)
3.00 )
15.01 ]
-1 ]-------SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT THE LAST HI END MUST HAVE BE -1. This
5.00 ] shipping charge will be charged if the amount is over the
low end of the last range.
11) Edit the CATALOG.DAT so it contains your items. Here is the format of the
catalog.
Ex:
Item Name
Catalog Number (May Contain Letter, Numbers and Symbols)
Price (NO DOLLAR SIGN)
WEIGHT, SHIPPING CHARGE or BLANK
Description Line 1
Description Line 2
The file is just plain ascii with these six lines repeated for each item.
NO Blank lines between items and make sure there are no blank lines at the
end of the file. If using WEIGHT as the shipping method put the weight
(3.25 for example) on the line that says WEIGHT, SHIPPING CHARGE or BLANK.
If using PERITEM as the shipping method put the cost to ship this item
without a dollar sign. If you are using RANGE as the shipping method
leave this line BLANK.
12) Make sure you have it set so the door can only be used by one node at a
time.
13) That's it, you're ready to go.
SHOP DOOR INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------
The door is easy to use. The only necessary instructions are for the sysop
and people with a high enough security and the password to access the order
files. When a user with this access (the sysop or someone at the company)
enters the door he/she will be shown if there are any orders waiting and
whether or not to print them to the screen or printer. He will then be asked
if he wants to erase the current orders. Only do this after you have printed
them.
