Shopping Cart Module Documentation

Introduction

Group Package 1 websites contain a mix of default verbiage and imagery, with your group's details. This is managed for you by Scouts Online. There is no ability change the settings.

If you'd like to upgrade to a higher package level, please contact us.

The Shopping Cart module is available on the About/Shop and Members/Shop pages.

The Shopping Cart displays the products and categories setup in Shop Management. For more details of this see Admin/Shop Management.

The level of functionality available to you to sell your products online is dependent on the shop package you have chosen. Higher package levels include a pre-populated list of all Scouting badges. You can see the packages click here here here, expand the See Full Package Details section and move down to 'eCommerce Shop & Online Payments'.
