eCommerce look & feel Please Help!

Nikki Valentine Odens

This is my first time using eCommerce ...

When you click "view product catalog" you come to this page ... can I change the buttons  - size, color etc. or do I need support to do this?? 

When you click on "more information" how come the cookie trail doesn't change? When looking at "more information" there is no real way to remind me where I'm at, can this be changed? Should say home> Rising Eagle Day Camp> More information

Where can I disable the page for shipping information - when this information isn't needed, we aren't "shipping anything"

Where can I edit the donation form to add paypal and change field names. I don't see these options in "Configure Standard Pages"

Are these all things that have to be customized through support??

You can cusomize the buttons using styles. (The !important modifier is because these styles also appear in a Convio default style sheet, and you want yours to take precidence.) Something like...

          .ShoppingButtonPrimary, .ShoppingButtons, .ShoppingButtonsSmall, .Button
          {
               font-family: arial, helvetica, san-serif !important;
               font-size: 12px !important;
               border: 1px solid #000000;
               background: #be3115;
               color: #ffffff;
               font-weight: bold;
          }

I haven't used the breadcrumbs much, so I can't help there.

The "Cart, Checkout, Single Address Entry Pages" section in Config Standard Pages has a checkbox for 'Include link to shipping explanation'.

Not sure about PayPal either. Do you get much action via Paypal?

Check toward the bottom of Configure Standard Pages for all the fields that you can relabel in each section.

I don't think "I" can customize, I am not 100% sure on this -  I don't think I can get into CSS I am only seeing all of the default settings.  Where and how would I do that, do you know?

I have been through the config stand. pages over and over. I can see where you can change the field names, but not skip that page entirely - like the shipping information, seems like too many steps and would make a user - donor be tired of filling out name and address twice. Also I see nowhere can you edit the actual donation page where you fill out your payment information. We do get quite a bit of users that donate through PayPal and I should be able to add that as an option as I edit the other donation forms we use. I just hope not missing something.

I watched the turtorial and read the online help, it wasn't helpful at all - very basic.

Thanks for your help!!

You can add styles a few different ways. (This is true for all of Convio.)

I prefer to go with the PageWrapper. When editing a version of your pagewrapper, go to the '2. Meta Tags' step and look for 'Additional HTML Tags for HEAD Element'.

You can either add a link to a large separate CSS document that you FTP to your Convio directory like this...

<link href="../css/MyStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Or put a few embedded styles right there like this...

<style type="text/css">

     .mySelector { style: value; }

</style>

Hmm. I seem to recall that you won't get the shipping page if none of your products have Shipping Charges defined. Is step 11. Shipping Charges blank for all of your products?

Yes, thank you - I actually figured the shippng part out about five minutes ago!

As far as page wrapper edits - I don't have access to that, yet. Someday hopefully - we have a small team here of four people, so we've left that one for Convio.

Hoping to get some customized styles for later use, but for now - we'll go with the style blue, it's better than red buttons!
