Note: SalesCart uses the CDONTS mail object. You or your ISP must install and run the IIS 4.0 or IIS 5.0 SMTP service in order to use the built-in e-mail confirmation facilities of SalesCart. If you do not receive e-mails, then the SMTP service either is not installed or is not configured properly. Since CDONTS is not provided on Windows98 or Windows 2000 Professional, you will only be able to view orders up to the point of order confirmation. At that point, you will get an error message and will need to continue testing your shopping cart site on an ISP's Web server with CDONTS.
SalesCart comes by default with E-mail confirmation to merchants and customers turned off . However, these can be enabled if you wish to receive or send email confirmations. By pressing a button at receipt-time, customers can simply print out the receipt.
What does this do? Allows your customer to receive an receipt via email if they click the button labeled "Send me a receipt by email!" upon order completion. It now contains more detail including: Order Shipping Information, Order Billing Information, Order details, and Item details. (This receipt can sometimes take up to 3 hours to actually be mailed.)
Default? Unchecked

Important: Information sent via email is not secure. If you do not want the credit card information to appear in the customer email receipt, you must do the following:
1. Open the sendemail.asp file located in the cgi-bin folder in html mode
2. Locate line 135
3. Comment out line 135 by placing an apostrophe at the beginning of the line. It should appear as shown below:
4. Save.
5. Now the customer will not see any billing information on their receipt.
What does this do? Sends an e-mail automatically to the return e-mail address specified for the merchant. If you want to have an e-mail automatically sent to the "merchant", place a check mark in the box labeled "Send a Merchant e-mail confirmation".
Default? Unchecked

What does this do? The e-mail header file contains text sent with the email receipt and confirmation. A copy of this information is sent to you in the Merchant confirmation to remind you what is being sent to the customer. Enter the Relative Path and File Name for the e-mail header file in this box. The default file is email.txt and resides in the cgi-bin directory of your Web. In addition, the relative path to your Web site provided from the FrontPage database connection will be linked to this file. Normally, this field will already be correct and should not be changed unless you are re-running the wizard on an existing SalesCart Web. You can edit the email.txt file later using NotePad or some other text-based editor, and change it so that it is specific for your customers.
Default? \cgi-bin\email.txt
If you want to: customize your receipt your company-specific information. You could edit it to say, for example: "Thank you very much for placing your order with "yourcompany". Your order will be fulfilled within X hours...If you have any questions regarding your order, please call us at 925 555-1212."
