If you decide to use CCNow to sell items from your web site, then here is what you must do first, so I can add the CCNow buttons and shopping cart to your web site.

The following is paraphrased from the instructions provided by CCNow.

1. Log in to your CCNow account by going to:

https://www.ccnow.com/cgi-local/login.cgi

...and enter your CCNow Client ID and password.

2. Choose the "Settings and Options" function.

In these screens, you will make various choices about running your business, such as:

• Payment methods
• International shipping options
• Customer refund policies
• Fraud protection measures
• What type of "Buy-It" buttons to use
3. Add your products to the Product List by clicking on "Your Products".

This function will guide you through the process of adding, modifying, or deleting items from your Product List. You will be able to specify product names, prices, and product varieties such as Size, Color, Flavor, Inscription, etc.

4. This step is for whoever is building (coding) your web page. If you are not the web builder, skip this step and go to step 5. If you are not the web builder, then you will have to trust your web builder enough to give your web builder your CCNow’s Client ID and password so they can log in to your account to be able to generate the HTML code for each of your products, then modify the code to fit your web site, and lastly add the code to your web page(s).

To get instructions on how to generate the correct HTML codes to link the products for sale via CCNow, go to the Your Products function, and click on "Generate HTML". You will receive instructions on how to link your Web site to CCNow, and also how to test your site to be sure that it is working properly.

5. After the CCNow buttons have been added to your web site, you are ready to test your account! Go to your web page, click on a CCNow “Buy” button, and proceed as though you were making a real purchase.  To place test orders, simply type the word TEST in place of the credit card number. Please keep in mind that you cannot test CCNow by using a live credit card number, because it would constitute a "cash advance", which credit card companies do not allow on the Internet.

If all is well, congratulations! You have successfully set up your online store!

If all is not well, repeat the steps until you are satisfied with the test results.

After the customer places an order, you'll receive an E-mail message from CCNow. The message contains all of the details needed to fill each order, plus all customer information.

In case an E-mail message fails to arrive for some reason, you should also periodically log in to your CCNow account and check your Pending Orders screen which lists all orders that you have not shipped yet.
