Ecomm Professional - Company Information Setup

1. Click the Company Info button in Control Panel.

2. Enter YOUR Company Name and Address in the form fields.

3. In the Banner/Logo input box, enter the file name of the file you copied the /scart/images folder.

   e.g. logo.jpg

4. Choose to charge Sales Tax or not and whether or not to Charge Your Local State Only.

5. Enter your State Sales Tax Rate. e.g. .05 (point 05) is 5%.

6. Set your Base Shipping Unit. 

Ecomm Professional gives you the ability to fine tune your shipping rates. You don't want to charge too much and you don't want shipping to cost you either. You set a Base Shipping Unit in Control Panel. Then assign each item an x amount of Units. The Item's Units are multiplied by the Base Shipping Unit.

 

Example 1:

• First You Set the Base Shipping Unit at 10.00

(this is done only once in the Database Control Panel. all Items use it)

• An item cost $10.00 to ship across the USA

• Set that Item's Shipping Units to 1. Shipping will be $10.00 for that Item

Example 2:

• First You Set the Base Shipping Unit at 10.00 (only once, no need if set in example 1)

• An Item only cost $5.00 to ship across the USA

• Set that Item's Shipping Units to (point 5) .5. Shipping will be $5.00 for that Item

  When Shipping Rates go up across the board, you simply change the Base Shipping Unit. 

  Think of the base shipping unit as the - shipping price - of one pound - across the USA.

   

  *Note - You can use any base shipping rate that you want. You can always adjust an Item's shipping by editing the Shipping Units field. Go to Edit Products in Control Panel.
