Entrance

You can easily customize the Entrance to your shopping cart because it is just a plain html webpage. Just use your Web Design Tool to edit and change the page to meet your specific design needs. The entrance is the dividing point between the shopping and non-shopping parts of your Web site.

A new Entrance page is always created by default when you create a new Shopping Cart Web. The page is named default.htm, index.htm or welcome.htm depending on how your computer is set up.

You can make changes and customize anything on the Entrance page to meet your particular needs including deleting the page altogether and using some other page or method of entry. When the Order button is clicked on, it will call the lobby. The Entrance page gives you 3 or 4 different example ways to start the shopping experience including a direct link, a button and a WAIS Search

The entire page is a normal html page. You are also free to delete the Entrance page.
