Business Catalyst Customer Subscription Management

Hi,
I am a business catalyst partner and web designer / developer.
I want to delete an old play site on BC, which was upgraded for one of my customers.
The site is under his subscription and I want to re-create a new site from scratch under his annual paid subscription for him.
The CRM Data as well other customer data in BC is not relevant and does not need to be migrated.
Is it possible to create a new site based on a different ecommerce template and re-assign it to my customers subscription / account, if I delete the old site before?
I would like to avoid a migration process from another site if possible as no data needs to be kept.
Though I find no function in the partner portal to delete a site without loosing the whole subscription of my customer?
I did rise a ticket with Adobe but it seems they proposing to do this for me in the background instead of me being able to do this on my own?
Is this a real limitation or do I not understand the process to do on my own?
We should be able to re-assign sites to different subscriptions and delete and recreate sites in BC without the help of the support and without loosing our customers subscription? Imagine how embarrassing to ask a customer that he has to give his credit card again even if he would get refunded for the time remaining which I daught by an annual payment method?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also happy to pay for someone who can explain me the process in detail as this topic is urgent for me.

Hi Florin,
thank you so much for answering that question.
You seem to be very knowledgable and also thank you for the quick replay as very this case is very important to me.
Allow me one more question please?
If you say: Recreate the site on the same site, do you mean there is a way to re-install a free e-commerce template like the Boutique template on a site where the content and the site specific assets is either deleted or only half installed please?
The background is: When I creating this site with the free Boutique template from BCGurus something went wrong which I did not realise at the time.
The site was upgraded at the time to a payed customer subscription too early, which was clearly my mistake.
Instead I should have taken the time to test and adjust the template first and then upgrade the site to a paid subscription for my customer.
I did not escalate earlier as my initial thought was that I anyway have to change a lot about the site template to fit the needs for my customer with his specific design. (Vegas.jQuery landing page just to name one.)
Some examples what went wrong:
The CSS folder was not created and the image folder is missing as well, also some parts of the web apps (that is the critical part I guess) have not been created correctly?
You can view the page at: http://chriscoachingservices.businesscatalyst.com/ 
Troubleshooting:
To create a second working trial site and to copy all settings, and content over would be possible I guess, but it is a pain to use then BC ID Grabber and more or less hand re-create the web app's if I understand the case right?
Also I do not trust the site much that all e-commerce specific settings have been correctly rolled out?
The customer has not used the site yet as dysfunctional and has not CRM or custom CMS data in. In theory I should be able to copy (SFTP) the content from a working site with the same template over and run a search and replace ind DreamWeaver for the Web App and content holder specific ID's but people from BCGurus did let me know that this is quite a long and stressful procedure?
The reason behind:
The to early upgrade was that the customer had the budget ready and also wanted his email addresses associated with the e-commerce solution early. Or I must have maybe delete some accidently while attempting to connect via dreamweaver. I can not replicate the case yet.
Thanks,
Dirk

  • Unable to import business catalyst site to DW-CS6

    Dreamweaver CS6 cloud subscription user. I am unable to import business catalyst site via manage sites.
    I get the following error:
    "Please connect to the internet and retry
    Either your computer is offline ot the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing connection error. An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again...."
    My clock is set correctly and I do have internet access so I have no idea what the problem is.
    I did notice the window did say "CS6 Creative Cloud membership" with the above error message and...
    The original Business Catalyst window says  "connecting to server..." for over twenty minutes before I closed it and tried again with same results.

    Have you posted this in the Business Catalyst Forum?  Very few of us here use BC services.

  • Business Catalyst Integration

    From reading the responses of the Adobe team here, it appears Edge Code is focusing on client side coding and integration with the other Edge tools and services.  And interestingly there appears to be plans to make Edge Code work in the Cloud.
    So with that being the case, it appears that with Business Catalyst being one of the Edge services that handles the server side, it seems Edge Code and Business Catalyst would make a great combination.
    Are there any plans to add a Business Catalyst extension that accesses the BC modules and tags and maybe even make Edge Code work directly in the Cloud in the Admin backend of a Business Catalyst site/subscription? 
    I know that we are able to add extensions to Brackets and Edge Code but since BC is owned by you guys, it seems to me like there is a huge opportunity there for something special because of how well Business Catalyst and Edge Code seem to complement each other.

    Hey Daryl,
    This is Bogdan Ripa - Business Ctaalyst Product Owner.
    Thanks for your note. As you can imagine, our teams have talked in the past about a potential integration, and edventually it will happen. I know how valuable this would be for our partners, and I'm a big advocate that we build it.
    While Brackets does not have (yet) a browser-based version, we have integrated directly with Code Mirror and have built a code editor in Business Catalyst directly. Our next release (scheduked for next Tuesday) will actually take our in-browser code editor out of alpha, and all partners will be able to use it. Here is how it will look like:
    When the Brackets code editor will be ready for in-browser use, we'll take that branch and use it ourselves.
    Again - thanks for the note!

  • Muse site uploaded to Business catalyst, where are the css files?

    Hello.
    I've uploaded a site created in Muse to my Business Catalyst account. I want to access the css files but in Business catalyst Admin/Site Manager there is no File Manager for the CSS files. How do I make any change? I know I can make changes in the page editor but I need the CSS files as well. Similarly, how do I replace an image, I can't find an images folder either? Do all of these changes have to be done in the Muse program itself?
    Muse is new to me so thank you for any help.
    Grant

    Hi Grant,
    Because for now CSS and HTML file editing is incompatible with Muse (e.g. republishing your site will potentially overwrite all the changes), we've decided to hide the file manager for Muse users.
    However, there is a way to re-enable it. In order to enable site management for your user, please log into your site, and click on "My Details" (upper right). In the My details page, please check the option "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)", and enter the password to confirm. A new entry (Site Manager) will appear in your menu.

  • Business Catalyst Folders and Module Manager Feature

    Hi,
    I have created a Business Catalyst Site using the extension in Dreamweaver. I am a new Creative Cloud member. I have also viewed many tutorials.
    I don't seem to have the full range of folders in the test temporary BC site I have created I dont recall seeing these folders when I created the site. I am missing;
    Web apps
    Modules
    CRM
    E- Commerce
    E-Mail Marketing
    I was particularly interested in module templates for photo galleries but I don't seen to have this feature. When I am in the BC Admin Console viewing a web page and select the module manager (blue circle with a + sign)  I was expecting a list to appear on the right hand side.
    The grey module manager button also does not seem to be available.
    I would rather not create a new site as I have done a fair bit of editing. Is there anything I can do ?
    Kind Regards, Matt.

    Hi,
    The current site is still in trial I just moved it to a higher plan for you to test.  In order to use an actual live payment gateway you must upgrade the site from trial to a purchased "webCommerce" plan. 
    I believe there may be some confusion on the type of site plan you get along with your CC subscription.  Please note the 5 entitled site will come under the "webBasic" plan and for higher plans you'll need to purchase additionally.

  • Business Catalyst e-commerce (allow user to cancel his subscription)

    Hi
    My Client is using e-commerce bussiness catalyst and is using Adobe Muse to design the website. For the payment process my client is planning on using the built-in Business Catalyst e-commerce module with PayPal as the payment processing gateway.My client also wants the customer to be able to cancel his own magazine subscription without having to contact him to request a cancel. Is this something that adobe bussiness catalyst is able to accomplish ?
    Thank you very much
    Just in case something was unclear here is the original message.
    We're building a site in Adobe Muse. Our product is a monthly subscription, with a one-time licensing fee. We will host on Adobe Business Catalyst. We need a check-out solution using either PayPal Web Standard -- OR -- the built-in Business Catalyst e-commerce module with PayPal as the payment processing gateway.
    The check-out module needs 3 options:
    1) Charge $695 one time and also set up a monthly payment of $39 starting 30 days after the one time charge
    2) Charge $695 one time and also set up a monthly payment of $59 starting 30 days after the one time charge
    3) A promo code field that allows the customer to start the subscription in 90 days instead of 30 (the promo code will change frequently; it needs to be easily editable by us)
    The customer will need to be able to cancel the subscription at any time (without contacting us)."

    Hi Prashant,
    Thank you for the quick reply.  However please note that we are not using anything related to CRM.  We are only using SAP E-Commerce for SAP ERP (SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0) with ECC 6.0 back end. 
    With that said, we are not looking to use E-Commerce for self registration, but relying on a CWA front end for registration/authentication.
    The main question is:  Can we allow creation of a B2B user with a portal user ID that is different than the back end ECC user ID in our scenario (no CRM)?
    thanks!

  • How do I begin payment for a webMarketing Business Catalyst subscription?

    Extreme frustration here.  I have a subscription to Muse, built an awesome website for my company, we have been testing it live under the "xxxx.businesscatalyst.com" option. I have looked everywhere and cannot find the place where I pay for a business catalyst subscription.
    When I test launch it live to the xxxx.businesscatalyst.com website, I click manage and you can see all the stats and stuff in the "Admin Console" - also the dashboard screen says I have the webBasics Plan and that the status is live.  I never even chose webBasics initially and we havent paid anything, so i'm clueless on whats going on there. I have spent many hours trying to find where I choose my BC subscription and actually pay for it and there is no direction whatsoever in the admin console.
    My company has a domain with a website running on it now and we want to use that same domain for the new Muse site I built.  That is also something that I am clueless about...I thought it would be straightforward, but when i research it all i see to find are tons of situations that seem way more complex than mine.  We don't want forms or client accounts, we just want a website with pictures. 
    Any ideas on where to start?  I have been to every "stock" help page on Adobe's sites and I get lost or hone in on a problem that is unrelated to mine.
    Thanks in advance.

    Site published from Muse will be in web basic site plan.

  • Business Catalyst add-on install problem with Dreamweaver CC & Extension Manager CC

    I'm trying to use an add-on I've installed for Dreamweaver CC but it is not visible (Windows > Extensions > no extensions available). When I view applications through CC App, it shows that the Business Catalyst add-on is installed. Likewise, when I use the Adobe Extension Manager, it also shows the Business Catalyst add-on is installed. I checked Photoshop and my add-ons are visible in their panels. I noticed one of the troubleshooting steps for Business Catalyst add-on states:
    a. Check the version of Adobe Extension Manager CC installed on your machine.
    b. If the version is not 7.3.3.39 or later, update your Adobe Extension Manager CC using the Creative Cloud app.
    I checked my version of Extension Manager and it's only at ver. 7.3.2.39 even though I followed the update procedure through the Creative Cloud app. I've closed all apps and re-started my computer. I've followed all the troubleshooting procedures I can find on the Add-ons website and the forums and I'm stuck.
    My versions:
    Dreamweaver CC 2014.1
    Extension Manager CC ver. 7.3.2.39
    Business Catalyst ver. 1.0.0
    Creative Cloud Desktop Manager ver. 1.9.0.465
    64 bit Mac OS X (10.10.2)
    I appreciate any assistance.

  • Creating a photo gallery / portfolio for a client to manage (CMS & Business Catalyst)

    I have been asked to create a website for a client, the client is a photographer and wants a site to promote her nursery school photography business. She would like to be able to manage the site herself using the BC dashboard, uploading images as and when needed. I use Muse to create sites and have informed the client that for any kind of CMS they need to host with Business Catalyst.
    My issue is creating a relatively limitless photo gallery / portfolio. As I understand it a client can upload and change images on their site using the BC dashboard, providing there is a slot available to do so. I believe Business Catalyst has a photo gallery module on their Webmarketing package, would this be what I am looking for? Failing that are there any good workarounds available for my client using Muse alone?
    In the future the client is looking for secure zones within the site and also an online ordering system, but right now it's a fairly simple promotional site with a good gallery of pics.
    I posted a similar question last week, someone very kindly suggested Smugmug, I looked into a separate solution (including Smugmug) but it's not suitable in this case and I would rather stick to Muse, BC and Adobe.

    Hi
    Yes, you can use Photo Gallery module, where your client would be able to upload new images from site backend and update the module. Also with photo gallery there are other parameters which they can use for image display.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-MuLyhxS5o
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg8pB1cLvnk
    For future preferences , your client can setup secure zones, online shop etc from site admin.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • If I upload a site to FTP host (third party hosting), will my client have any kind of site management options like the dashboard page on Business Catalyst?

    I am creating this website for a client, and they want to be able to take it once I'm finished and manage it on their own. However, they are not Adobe users, so I am using BlueHost to host the site instead of Business Catalyst. If I do this, will there be a way that they can view analytics or have any kind of management page like the dashboard in BC? With the new update, they can now use the in-browser editing option through a third party hosting site, but they would like to have something where they can view the analytics.
    I've searched and searched to find an answer to this and haven't found one. I don't want the client to spend the money on the hosting site if it is not the best option for what they want. But, since they are not Adobe users, they can't use BC, and I don't want to use one of my free BC sites.
    Please help!

    You would have to add analytics etc yourself likely Google Analytics. As for a Dashboard, no they won't. On a side note, the client does not have to be an Adobe User to have it hosted on BC. You can just create the site, host it on BC and simply add them as an admin. They don't have to be an Adobe user.
