E-Commerce Questions

Hi BC Team!
Looking at converting one my clients from their current E-commerce platform, to the BC E-commerce platform, and I have a few questions I need answered:
1. My client wants to build a form that has drop down options with a $ value.  So, for instance, item #1 would be $5, item #2 would be $10, item $3 would be $15.  When their customer chooses one of these options, it would auto-populate the "amount" field with their drop down item choice (i.e. if they chose item #1, the amount field would say $5) - does anyone have a sample form, or JS snippet they can send me that would be able to do this?
2. Is there a possibility of having more than one Registration - BUY form? Or is BC set up to just have one Registration - Buy form?
3. Are webApps set up to be customized to be an e-commerce item? If so, can we use the same online shop {tags_}? Would it still follow the same checkout process?
4. My client is in British Columbia, and sells kids clothing and footwear which in BC, is exempt from one tax (normal tax is 12%, but kids only pay 5% for apparel and footwear).  Is it possible for instance, in Business Catalyst to have a Youth Shoe sold in BC have a tax code specific for BC, but if the person was from Ontario the proper tax could be charged? i.e. Same item sold in BC would be 5% but in Ontario it would be 13%? I guess some JavaScript which would see what Province they were from and would apply that tax code.
I'm sure I'll have more questions - but this is good for now : )
Been pushing for them to convert to Business Catalyst for a few months now and I think I have them convinced : )
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron.
1. This is not eCommerce, this is not products and selling products. This is just a web form with payment and a dropdown. Quite different things. BC can do this as long as you have a seamless payment gateway and use javascript on the form to change the amount field to take payment.
2. Only one registration buy form. You should not need any other forms.
3. Web apps can be bought and sold but only that single web app item (no stock) and with having a payment form you need to have a seamless payment gateway, non seamless is not supported with custom web forms at this time.
4. You set up tax and you add products minus tax as the price and in the price section of a product you choose from a dropdown to select which tax that product has. So you can do what your asking. In terms of the front end though you can not change the tax price like that based on regions, only country.

  • E-Commerce Question

    Hi Guys...
    I have a potential client who wants to sell a single product online. That is all well and fine to sell one product, but the reason for the question is he wants the one product to be customisable.
    For example he is selling custom stickers and wants the users to be able to customise their order (which will include a country flag as well as their own custom message) via a webform.
    He has a paypal account so that is fine through BC, but is there a way to sell a product with custom variables like this?
    cheers
    Shane

    Liam,
    Couple of thoughts i had… Shoot me down if i can't! haha…
    1. Could I do it by setting the product up with various attributes? Similar to the below link. But I am not sure if i can have a multiline text box as well as a list?

    2. What if it was a CRM form? Would that work if it was added into the large product layout? Then the data transferred across to the invoices etc.
    cheers

  • MS Commerce Server integration with SAP CRM (incl. Middleware question)

    Hi,
    We're investigating on how to possibly connect a MS eCom solution (MS Commerce Server) to a SAP CRM backend.
    With the correct middleware and some Bapi's this would probably be do-able solution I guess, but does anyone have info on standard setups for this?
    - Standard Bapi's to use?
    - Middleware to be used (will XI do it all or do we need a 3th party middleware solution)?
    - Are any of the standard MS eCom screens aligned with what's in the SAP Badi's?
    - What about pricing information - is the info returning from the IPC valid for MS eCom display?
    Anyway - if anybody has any ideas or experience around this - feel free to reply.
    Thanx!

    HI Arno,
    I asked our CRM guys but because we are doing workforce management and that required server based integration..
    Do you have any idea for that ?

  • E-Commerce Gateway Question about Interface File Definition.

    Hello Gurus,
    Does anyone know if Oracle e-Commerce Gateway (11.5.10.2) deliver the Interface File Definition for Inbound Purchase Orders (850/ORDERS) - _'IN: Purchase Orders (850/ORDERS)'_ out of the box?
    I see Interface File Definition for OPM Purchase Order along with a bunch of other trx sets (like ASNI, INI, INO) but not Purchase Orders (850/ORDERS) in the instance that I am working... so just wanted to verify.
    Thanks

    Following are some of the pros of using XML Gateway:
    1) XML is being accepted and more and more technologies are moving towards XML, so that "seems" to a future ready solution
    2) XML processing is real-time.
    3) Most of the maps for universally accepted standards are seeded in Oracle.
    4) You can use Oracle Supplier Network(Free service provided by Oracle) with your XML gateway to transmit/receive xml documents to a supplier who may or may not be accepting the format you are generating(e.g. if your PO is in OAG standard and your supplier is accepting cXML format, OSN takes care of translating your document)
    You might want to consider these points while deciding the technology.

  • E-Commerce / Shopping Cart Question

    My company has outgrown our current shopping cart software, and our hosting company is no longer supporting it, so we're looking into other options.  I’m not too familiar with setting up e-commerce sites, so I was hoping to get some advice/recommendations on new software options.  We do need the software to accomplish the following:
    -We sell products to three exclusive customer groups (vets, stores and consumers) so we would need a software that is able to store three separate customer databases. 
    -We’d also need an option to control entry into two of those databases.  Right now our stores and vets sign up and go into a “pending accounts” site, where we can see all of their information and choose whether to approve or deny their account.  Since we need to make sure we’re only selling to legitimate stores and licensed veterinarians, this control over approval of accounts is something that’s incredibly important to us. 
    -The software we use now is meant to be used in one store.  Therefore, all of our products are entered in three times, to link in to the correct pricing for each customer group.  The new software needs to be able to allow us to enter in different prices for a product, depending on how a user is signed in (as a store vs. consumer) OR it needs to let us group products into different categories so that they’re easy to find when working in the backend – right now all of our products are in one list and it’s getting unmanageable.
    Any advice on where to look and what to get would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks so much!

  • Internet Sales 5.0  B2B  (e-commerce) layout question

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to change the layout for the ISA application.
    I have changed the menu on the left, but it's a little to big to fit in the menu frame ...
    Is it possible to resize the "closer" in order to make the menuframe a little wider ?
    It must be something with the width of the frames I guess ? Where can I find this ?
    Greetings,
    Abjuh

    Hi,
    I found the solution. It's has nothing to do with that css file that you're saying.
    I had to adjust the frame width, this could be found in fs_start_inner.jsp
    Thx for the input anyway!
    Grtz,
    Abjuh

    Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? (I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2)
    Thank you.

    The class files need to exist on the target machine. For example if I serialize MyClass and send it as a stream to machine B, machine B needs MyClass.class on the CLASSPATH to deserialize it.
    Also, make sure all machines working with the serialized stream have the same version of Java installed. (e.g., v1.2 does not play nice with v1.4, etc)

  • Can you create a website in DW then upload it to BC for commerce site?

    So confusing working from BC in DW. I originally thought that I could take my Muse or Dreamweaver websites, upgrade in order to get the ecommerce features, upload product spreadsheet, figure out how to populate the pages, and publish.
    Now it seems BC just complicates and confuses the process with its addition of modules and tags. Why does it have to be so hard? BC Gurus videos show features that don’t show up in my version. Can’t find templates to start from. Waisting hours trying to learn the relationship between the two (BC/DW). Seems like BC commerce is more work than other all-in-one packages. All I want is to take my design and make eCommerce operational.
    First mistake: Current project designed in Muse. When I upgraded from basic to commerce3, and BC started throwing in their modules, I got totally lost.
    Then, I imported BC site in DW, now I have all the mess from Muse plus BC and don’t have anything that I recognize which I can work with.
    All I need is a clear step-by-step list that will walk me through it. There are way too many videos and tutorials that are vague and unhelpful. Personally, videos take too long to sit through and try to take notes without having to pause and play - inefficient.
    Ask the question “what’s a module?” and I can’t get a clear definition.
    Same with “tag”! What is it, where do they go, I don’t even know what to ask.

    Welcome to the web industry, BC makes things a lot easier with how it is produced and the avoidance of a lot of server side development if you was to use other systems. Managing layouts, tags, modules, CSS and HTML and Javascript is kind of basics of the profession to master.
    You will find guides showing features not availible to a plan if you are only on say a webasic plan etc as you noted. Muse is really not the best thing to get into not just BC but web design with, it does not teach you anything you need to know to properly create websites, especially even remotely more complex things. There is no clear step by step I am afraid, You have guides provided on these forums, you have the BC knowledgebase and sites like BC Gurus but really its learning what things are, how things are. Learning CSS, HTML, Javascript etc and implementing as you do so.
    A module is something that renders output of content in varius forms such as a menu or a web form. It can render a list of items created by a web app and more. A tag is a set of values or rendering content within the modules like web apps or other elments such as eCommerce.
    All of this is outline and more on the guide sites such as BC Gurus and the KB:

  • Maintain Chamber of Commerce Business ID in Oracle Receivables.

    For my client I need to maintain the Chamber of Commerce Business ID for a organization in AR. Where can I save this number without using the D&B interface?
    Is there a specific field available in the screens for this or must I create a DFF for it?
    Second question: Which Open Customer Interface table and field should I use for the conversion of this Business ID from a legacy system to Oracle eBS?

    The Orig_system_reference field is already used to reference the internal ID from the legacy system and this field isn't visuable in the Oracle screens.
    I will put the question differently as following:
    Is there a field available in the standard Customer screen where I can maintain the Chamber of Commerce Business ID?
    Or should I maintain this in a custom made DFF?
    Second: Which Customer Open Interface column should be used to interface this Chamber of Commerce ID?

  • My credit building journey, lots of random questions, advise plz

    First of all, thank you so much to everyone here. I have spent the last few days reading. A lot of lingo to learn. (Luv button was my favorite) (or PYDBDB) haha. And its totally worth it! Basically my credit is fair/good. I was lazy in building it. Going through anti credit card phase just to be unique. Always paid in cash. Bad mistake. Basically the only neg on my report is 3 missed payments from 1 of my student loans (which is an ERROR). Everything else is in good standing. No chargeoffs. No collections. No bks. If you are in a rush, just look at my BOLD or underlined parts if you could please.
    care credit 6/13               CL $6800
    credit one 4/14                CL $850
    Buckle store card 5/14     CL $500
     cap1 qs 12/14                CL $3k
    commerce bank 10/14     CL $2k
    amazon store card 4/15  CL $800
    sams club PLCC 5/15      CL $1200Amex Everyday 5/15        CL $5k util is now around 15%.
    If my oldest account is from june of 2013 (care credit), and my second oldest is from april 2014 (the credit one), my score is currently at EQ 669,TU 659 myfico of 688. do u think I really should close the creditone?  Has a $49 AF. I could probably close the credit one, but I just paid my annual fee less than 2 months ago. I think I should wait until a month before they charge the fee, and cancel it then, say march of 2016? I would not be where I am today without it. It has served its purpose.
    I am kinda thinking my average age of accounts is going to be screwed anyway with all these new cards, and maybe closing the creditone wont make that big of a difference, and then I can garden? My AAOA says its currently 2 years 10 months.. I really was NOT wanting the sams club private label credit card. I was hoping to get the synchrony bank master card and be able to get the special $50 off $100 deal and get extra cash back on top of our plus membership. They would not approve me even though I have care credit and amazon, yet give me a $1200 limit on a non master card. The other lady at the counter told me they never approve people for the MC version. It would have been foolish for me to say no to the non MC, since they did a HP, plus at that point I did not have amex approval, and only $1k limit on my cap1 qs. If my AAOA goes way down, I guess I have 30 days to cancel the new card and just accept the HP as a loss, right? I have 7 HPs on my TU, 2 on my EQ, but that does not include my sams club or AMEX applications from this month. Only 2 of the 7 are from the last 6 months.My score is so low because of a student loan error 90 days past due, even though it wasnt, and I have written in about 5 letters and can't get it removed. On all the simulators, I have seen my score would instantly be 740-780 without the error. Ugh. What should I do about this? Keep sending in more letters? When I call in the rep always says I wont have any problem in getting it removed but that isnt the case. I was even thinking life would be better with them being serviced by a new company, but heck no... Question,
    I am preapproved for a discover IT card, do you think I should go ahead and take it? I applied for one 3/14 and was declined only due to 80%util (thanks to my care credit for a relative). The EO I spoke with for the recon a year ago basically told me once my util is below 30 I would guaranteed get approved. I honestly don't need it. I do like their cashback, basically doubling it for car rentals or flowers..... maybe I should wait and apply for it once my 15 months of no interest expires on my new amex? After hitting the luv button on my credit steps cap1 qs (no AF) and going from $1k to $3k...I am thinking I could just do a lot with that card, groceries/gas on AMEX, and be fine.
    I cant believe some of the stuff I have learned about. Terms like Stoozing. People making money off of no interest cash advances by placing them in a higher yield savings account.  As tempting as that sounds, and not to be judgemental,  I think in the time it would take me to do all that I could focus my time and energy into something and make just as much money. But thats just me. I do love couponing/frugaling and I think its a unique/cool idea though.  I also enjoyed reading about app-o-rama's. That is an interesting strategy. I don't think with my scores I would have benefited from applying for multiple amex cards. Now Chase would be my ultimate goal, thats for sure.
    I gotta say, it feels so good to see others beating this defunct system. I can understand why some people are so proud of the cards they have, and their limits. But to me, it seems almost like its so hit or miss. As in there isnt much continuity. Maybe some people arent being totally honest about their past on other sites. Or really the system is just that broke. One year ago, I never would have though today my score would be 80 points higher, and that I would be able to have real credit cards. It requires self control. I would not be able to be so diligent it if it wasnt for my Amex Serve card. It is SO easy and simple to take money from one account, move it to the other, pay bills, even do couponing.
    Ok. So now I have some real cards. I pay my bills on time, usually in full, if not much more than the minimum, 12 days early, every month.  I avoid pulling triggers on the store cards because I read so much mixed info on them (but I gotta say the kohls card sounds tempting). What else should I be doing here to improve my credit? I own my own car, don't have a mortgage, etc. Paying on my interest for my student loans will help me financially overall. I guess maybe I could cosign on someone's car loan, which would be a big risk, but I know for a fact if they ever had issues, someone would take care of it. Since I rent, should I try to get added to a family members mortgage? I do want to have the ability to get a home loan or an auto loan without astronomical interest rates. I am not planning on buying a home in the next year.
    THANKS!!!

    "my score is currently at EQ 669,TU 659 myfico ex of 688" Well, that is kinda awesome! In less than a month of joining myfico two of my scores have went up 30-40 points. (and my new Amex TL isnt even part of that!)  I didnt even realize it.  Thank you to everyone for the great advice here.  I really took advantage of the SP CLI's.  I have nearly tripled my total open CL.   I also found out that my one 120 day late error on a student loan is supposed to drop off after 7 years.  Now on experian, it said the date was August 2016.  The other two said January 2016.  I wonder how big of a score increase I would see from that?  I am also a little frantic here because apparently disputing things like these can cause them to be closed and reopened, and taking a big hit on AAOA, at least according to creditboards. I am also thinking that 1 more HP from CareCredit could be worthwhile.  Previously they only HPd my TU.  Ask for 25k CLI and hope they counter for 15-20k.  They did take my 2 month old amazon and sams accounts limits from 800/1200 up to 6000/7000. My care credit will be a 0 balance in the next month or two and having 15-20k 0 balance would be awesome for my uitilzation, no? I have also decided my Commerce Bank Visa is slightly evil. While 6 months ago I never would have contemplated eliminating it (as it was my highest CC CL at the time) they are just crazy. They give people bonus points for accruing interest. Seriously?  Plus their points are only worth half a cent.  And now the awesome shopping portal is gone where you could get 10-15 or even 20x points.  No manual CLIs.  System initiated every 4-6 months.  Their banks are not everywhere but also not that far away.  Maybe I should initiate this loan with them?  They only offer real loans of $7k or more. Otherwise they have accessible lines of credit starting at $1k.  They do have decent APR for used/new cars starting at 3 percent for future reference. I am getting Citi Simplicity 0% for 21 months then 12.9% offers that have the opt out notice. Previously they were for Diamond Preferred and Doublecash at 0 for 12-18mos then 19%.  Credit pulls database shows sub 700 scores getting approvals but with very low CL.  Seems to me with citi if you are 740+ they automatically give you 3-5x the starting limit. I am preselected on capital one for the venture, 0 for 15 then 17.9, also another QS, and the platinum prestige.  I mean yes, I really could be using the extra room to push purchases through for the rewards without having to pay off during the month. I am wondering since my QS Visa in credit steps has a 22.9% apr starting in october, maybe my angle should be to see what I am preselected for in september, take the 3 HPs but apply for 2 cap1 products Then eventually combine. I dont want duplicates. I have no personal need for 15 cards with 25k limits. But... Short term 1- 6 month goals:1. Small loan 2. Complete one 3x CLI on AMEX3. Grow or Throw the commerce bank visa.4. Potentially apply for Citi Doublecash then Venture Longer term 6-12 month goals1. Close credit one in march2. under 5% util3. Learn statement closing dates TLDR: is one HP CLI worth it for a potential 20-50% increase in overall CL? 

  • Question on the Apple Policy Payment

    Hello all,
    i'm iphone apps dummy. i really don't know about the terms and condition from apple.
    A company I work with is considering to create a e-commerce service apps for iPhone users. My concerns are apple/itunes will charges us when customer buy our product? it's there anyway to avoid the charges 30% payment from apple?
    If i use web based 3rd party payment gateway direct to our own website, will apple remove our itunes apps?
    Another Issue is will apple allow top up via Iphone apps, don't want to get into the complications with Iphone Apps policy payment? Example, customer will top up as credit on our website, then customer buy our product using our credit on iphone apps? will that legal?
    Please send me the link apple policy regarding on the e-commerce payment. thanks so much... i'm dying to look for the policy in apple site.

    Why cant I post my question on the apple website?
    Uh, you did just post a question on the Apple website...
    Is this a regular credit card you get a bill for?
    Not a prepaid card?
    Did you recently get a new card?

  • BC E-commerce integrated with Subscription Based Web Application

    I am considering using BC for my company's corporate website as well as the online store.  We sell a subscription based web application which will have 3 or more flavors (products) and will need to bill customers on a recurring monthly or annual basis.
    For the monthly subscriptions, we want to bill the customer based on the "highwater" mark with regards to user quantity for that given month.  This gives the users the flexibility to add/remove users freely without the fuss of having to contact a sales representative to adjust their account/recurring order. 
    I would imagine this would happen one of two ways:
    The user signs up creating their account both in our web application and the ecommerce site and is billed for the first time.  In the ensuing months, either: the e-commerce site communicates with our web application to get the high water mark quantity for that billing cycle or
    Our web application sends a new order each month to the e-commerce site, including the highwater mark quantity, giving the illusion to the user that it is indeed a recurring order but behind the scenes they are actually individual orders.
    Annual subscription customers are a bit more challenging.  We still want the users to have the flexibility to add/remove users with minimal effort. However, since they are being billed on an annual basis, prorating additional users will be necessary.  So if customer who previously purchased 5 licenses, adds 5 more licenses during month 6 of their annual subscription term, we would need the e-commerce solution to bill them once immediately for the 50% prorated 5 licenses, then bill them 6 month's later for the total 10 license subscription renewal.
    At a bit of higher level, we would prefer the customer to manage all their billing/account info within our web application rather than going to an external store to do so.
    One other caveat, we would prefer not to store credit card info on our site.  Preferably that would be stored in our payment gateway (Auth.net).  This may or may not affect the workflows described above.
    My Questions:
    Can the BC e-commerce solution support the workflows above?If so, is there any documentation/resources available to research this further?
    Are there any BC customers that currently do something similar?  If so, who and how similar?

    Hi Greg,
    From what you have described it seems to me that you need some complex server side logic which BC doesn't allow. In any case you'd have to develop an app that communicates between BC and that other application through our API, which will control the orders as per your requirement. In particular, there's no easy way for end user to control their recurring monthly or annual subscription, there's no way to apply immediate discounts according to earlier purchases that will satisfy this requirement "if customer who previously purchased 5 licenses, adds 5 more licenses during month 6 of their annual subscription term, we would need the e-commerce solution to bill them once immediately for the 50% prorated 5 licenses, then bill them 6 month's later for the total 10 license subscription renewal", you can't build in this functionality into BC " the e-commerce site communicates with our web application to get the high water mark quantity for that billing cycle" and there are few more things there which suggest to me that you need something custom.
    Cheers,

  • Adding an e-Commerce template to existing BC online web site?

    Has anyone out there started with a Muse design, and after completeing it, then did add an ecommerce template?
    There are many ways to get to the mountian... I don't see a path yet.
    Conern is for menu integration with the existing client content/web site (created in Muse) and eCommerce Template.
    Is this integration possible? Key question. 
    If so though what interface: BC, Muse, Dreamweaver, Other?
    In other words:
    Q: How does one join an active client muse site to a BC eComerce Template: what is the best process GIVEN initial client design is in MUSE?
    >>>I am going around and around missing the best practice or process to accomlish taking a MUSE on line web site, and ADDING and eCommerce Template so the store is there too.
    IS THERE A SIMPLE WAY TO LINK A MUSE SITE THAT IS ACTIVE, TO A BC ECOMMERCE TEMPLATE AND HAVE THE MENUS AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST?
    OR  DO i have to do something different?
    It appears to me that going from a Muse Content created site on BC, to having that same BC site augmented with e-commerce, needs to be done in the BC on line interface versus Dreamweaver or Muse.
    Perhaps it is a matter of order.... template first but then how to use MUSE to do the front end...
    ????? I must be missing some simple concept here....
    Getting ready to experiment and hoping for some pointers as I start the challenge of the process. After looking on line and asking questions of BC and others... i have a couple of man days into this scenario.  Hoping for insight from the BC universe! lol... thanks y'all.
    Cheers!

    Sorry . i am a bit lost and under pressure to perform on this project...
    just attempting to find help. I am new to asking for help in this system,
    but desperate to move ahead...  BC is the product that is most important
    here: Muse is great ... however...  I can do without muse... but can not
    accomplish this project without the functions of BC.

  • Using Hprof with Commerce Server 3.5

    My company is beginning the move to J2EE and I have been tasked with researching
    profilers. I quickly came across Hprof, which is provided by the Sun JVM through
    the use of the -Xrunhprof option. I have been able to successfully profile a
    very small test application (stand alone app). However, I run into problems when
    I use Hprof and try to start the example server provided with Commerce Server
    3.5 (with WebLogic 6.0). Please see below for my syntax and results.
    Syntax
    %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -Xrunhprof:cpu=times,doe=y .....
    Results
    The server appears to start and work correctly (no HRPOF ERROR: messages). When
    I shut it down (using the console) and look at the java.hprof.txt file that is
    created, the hprof data has not been fully written to the file. The file ends
    in the middle of a trace:
    TRACE 6687:
         java/net/URLStreamHandler.getDefaultPort(URLStreamHandler.java:Unknown line)
    I am curious if anyone has run into this problem before and how they might have
    corrected it. Can anyone suggest a set of Hprof parameters to use? Or provide
    a link to a good description of all of the parameters (I haven't found a lot of
    documentation on it)?
    I know that there are other commercial profilers (JProbe, Optimizeit, etc.) but
    I would like to learn the basics before diving into them.
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for posting this. I'm sorry it didn't get answered until now.

  • Cant install commerce server 3.5 with  wl 6.0sp2

    When I try to install commerce server 3.5 (WLCS_with_sp1UNIX.bin) I get to the
    point were it asks me for the bea home directory, which I enter as /usr/local/bea.
    I then get the message "the weblogic 6.0 is required to be installed, but is not
    present in the bea home directory of /usr/local/bea".
    I have installed wl 6.0 sp 2, and I can get it up and running with no problem.
    It is installed under /usr/local/bea/wlserver6.0.
    I am running under redhat 7.0, and the environment variables are: WEBLOGIC_HOME
    = /usr/local/bea/wlserver6.0
    PATH=${BEA_HOME}/jdk131:${PATH}
    I run the installer with the command:
    sh WLCS_with_sp1UNIX.bin
    Why wont this work?

    Hi.
    Try posting this question in the commerce server newsgroup.
    weblogic.developer.interest.commerce.
    I don't know that much about commerce server, but maybe someone there can help out.
    Regards,
    Michael

    but it only seem to install the weblogic application server as a Windows service
    and not the commerce server. The commerce server still installed only as a Windows
    application and this is what we are trying to run as a Windows 2000 service. Any
    help would much appreciated.--
