If you set up your Quick Shopping Cart store as a dedicated domain, your customers access your store by entering your domain name in the address bar of their browser (for example, www.best-widgets.com).

If you set up your Quick Shopping Cart store as a subdomain, you can add a link on your website that leads your customers to the subdomain for your store (for example, www.shop.best-widgets.com). Your customers can also access your store by entering the URL of the store in the address bar of their browser.

Quick Shopping Cart includes a link generator feature that automatically creates links to your store, to a category page, to a specific product page, or to the product search page. You can even include source code in the link for tracking purposes.

To Access the Link Generator

2. Click Quick Shopping Cart
3. Click Manage next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
4. From the Promote menu, in the Visibility section, click Links.

   Use Source Code (Optional)

   Source codes (tracking codes) identify the source of a particular visit to your site. For example, if you place a link on another website, you can identify any visitors who came to your store from the website based on the source code. You can create a link with or without source codes.

   Home Page

   Generates a link to your Quick Shopping Cart home page. Use this link to familiarize with your site from the home page.

   Showcase Product

   Generates a link to a specific product within your catalog. Use this link to familiarize clients with a particular product.

   Showcase Category

   Generates a link to a specific category within your catalog. Use this link to direct clients to a particular category or product.

   Store Search

   Generates a link to a list of items that is produced by a keyword search. For example, if your business sold children’s clothes, the search might yield results from “boys shirt.” Use this link to familiarize clients with a particular series of products.

A link is created based on the link criteria you defined. You can now add this link to another Web page by copying it directly or providing the exact link to the webmaster for the site from which you want to link.

If you accept credit cards for transactions at your Quick Shopping Cart® storefront, either through a payment gateway or using a Point Of Sale (POS) credit card machine, you must apply an SSL certificate to your domain. This certificate ensures the security of your website when handling your customers’ personal and credit card information.

You can add an SSL Certificate to your site at any time, even if your domain name is hosted elsewhere.

To Add an SSL Certificate to Your Quick Shopping Cart

1. Log in to your My Hosting 4 Less account.
2. Click Quick Shopping Cart.
3. In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click Manage for the account you want to work with.
4. From the Set Up menu, in the Operations section, click Payment Options.
5. In the Credit Card section, click Set Up.
6. If you don’t have a certificate, from the SSL Certificate menu, click To buy an SSL certificate, click here.
7. If you do have a certificate, from the SSL Certificate menu, select the SSL to use, and then click Apply.
8. When the certificate is issued, we send you an email and install it for you.
9. After we install the certificate, you’ll need to publish your site. The SSL is not fully installed until after the site is published.Note: The SSL is used during the checkout process when sensitive data is being transmitted. It is not used while browsing the storefront as sensitive data is not being transmitted.

If you do not already have Secure Certificate Credits, you can purchase a credit. Once you have a Secure Certificate Credit, on the Secure Certificates page, follow the instructions to complete your online application.

After you add an SSL certificate to your domain, add the site seal image to your online store to show visitors that your website is secure. Your Quick Shopping Cart must be published, and your SSL certificate must be issued and installed on your domain, before you can add the site seal to your Quick Shopping Cart site.

Note: The SSL site seal option displays only when the SSL certificate is applied to your site.

To Add an SSL Site Seal Image to Your Quick Shopping Cart

1. Log in to your My Hosting 4 Less account.
2. Click Quick Shopping Cart
3. In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click Manage for the account you want to work with.
4. From the Set Up menu, in the Business Information section, click Store Preferences.
5. From the General tab, select Show SSL Logo.

You must publish your site for your storefront to display the SSL site seal.

If you plan to accept credit cards for transactions on your Quick Shopping Cart site, either through a payment gateway or using a Point Of Sale (POS) credit card machine, then you must have an SSL Certificate for your site. This is to ensure the security of your site when handling your customers’ personal and credit card information.

If you do not plan to accept credit cards through a payment gateway or using a POS, you do not have to have an SSL Certificate.
