This document will go over the behavior and use of the older legacy "coupon". Be advised that if you choose to use this way, it is not supported. To add a coupon field to your cart, choose a layout that has the field. Legacy "coupons" are not really coupons at all. They simulate coupons by adding a "coupon" product into the shopping cart, then you setup rules/promotions that would give a desired effect if the "coupon" product was in the cart. This requires having a "coupon" field in the cart page that would add a product to the cart as well as the creation of a special "coupon" product in the Product Editor area. Here is a step by step flow of how to create a legacy style coupon: Step 1 - Product > New Product S

The Zoovy Integrated Desktop (ZID) contains the Order Manager and Warehouse Manager desktop applications. This document tracks the changes in each new version as well as any known critical issues in a current or recent release. Version 8.0 includes substantially improved network support, and early versions will be released often as new features are added. Releases ending in an odd number e.g. 8.005 are considered BETA or "less stable", whereas releases ending in an even number e.g. 8.006 would be considered RELEASE-CANDIDATES or "more stable". Please schedule a "Geek" appointment if you are at all uncomfortable with upgrading alone.

Merchandising can be difficult when dealing with several different marketplace. Grouping provides some solutions to merchandising complications. Grouping will allow individual option choices to appears in searches. For example, if a customer searches for "red bikini" they can find "red bikini" rather than a generic bikini that may have an option to select "red" but the customer will never know without first clicking on it. Grouping allows easier syndication into eBay for merchants who use options. Also, grouping allows you to display multiple options on Amazon, limiting the option choice to which color and size are available and in stock. Grouping is one of many ways of handling options. It is not the only way. zoovy:grp_type -

This guide is intended to help you with the steps in transferring a domain from another host to Zoovy. Use this guide if you already own a domain and wish for Zoovy to become the registrar for it. You must be sure you are the administrative contact for the domain and have access to modifying the domain at its current registry. Reason for this, You need to UNLOCK the domain and remove any privacy settings in order for the transfer to be allowed. Many domain registrars allow you to unlock the domain directly from the config. There are some, however, that make it difficult to do so. The easiest way to get this accomplished is usually to contact the registrar via phone or email and request that they unlock the domain for you.

Orders are automatically downloaded from Amazon on an hourly basis. Amazon orderids are included in the Order Notes. Customers are created automatically. Keep in mind Amazon customers will not have billing information in their account (we don't receive this info from Amazon). Starting May 15th 2006, Amazon orders will take additional 90 minutes (from creation) to be available from Zoovy. This additional time was added to improve Amazon customers' user experience (please see Amazon for more information about the benefits of this change). Note: If you have time-sensitive shipping processes, you may need to adjust your methods to compensate for the new 90-minute window. Example: If you offer same-day service for orders placed by 5:00 p.m. PST, you should adjust your cut-off time to 3:30 p.m., and update your Web site s

Hi Clarissa, We've been in conversations with Buy.com -- even been up there to their offices and chatted with their CEO Neil (nice guy) and several other members of their management team. They aren't nearly as mature as Amazon is -- with regard to their interface. Their sales volume is also substantially lower (best case about 1/10th of Amazon in some categories -- electronics and it falls *dramatically* after that) The amount of work which is required however is more -- substantially more. Specifically you cannot have *any* errors in your data -- as they have no way to fix/revise data once it's been uploaded (only prices can change). They have no way to do "resets" either .. it's basically impossible to fix issues. The number of clients we have who "do something first, and worry about forgiveness later" -- and expect us to pull something out of bag of tricks to rescue the

Custom files are files stored outside the image library and cannot be automatically resized. The purpose of the custom files directory is to store files such as word docs, pdf's or small audio/video files that you have available for download.

This document describes how to use promotion rules to give discounts. You can also provide discounts for products based on quantity purchased by using the Wholesale Bundle and the "Quantity Pricing" or "Wholesale to the Public" feature. Promotion Rules allow you to define "special cases" for certain products, or combinations of products that can be used to manipulate the shopping cart, and offer discounts, or apply surcharges. Although they may seem a bit complicated at first, having the flexibility to precisely determine when discounts are given, and if so how much of a discount is given can be a godsend for a well managed business. For example with simple promotions you could offer a discount for all purchases over $200, but with rules based promotions you would be able to create more advanced promotions such as: Purchase two or more of the same item and receive a 10% discount on

This is an optional training session required only for Zoovy store owners with special promotions. Promotions create an exception to how your online store normally would behave. It is therefore important to thoroughly test your promotions to catch any unexpected behavior before your customer does. Before you go into training, please have a clear idea of how you would like your promotions to work. You may need to write it out on a piece of paper or even construct a chart in order to clarify how promotions needs to be calculated for you. This code will help you to group rules related to each other.

Zoovy does not have a strategic relationship with Commission Junction at this time. To a certain extent this limits how much integration support we are able to provide. We have created this page as a way to track information related to the integration of commission junction tracking pixels. Commission Junction does not accurately track phone sales, or google checkout sales. We have informed Commission Junction of these technical issues, however they apparently charge clients additional integration fees to track these actions. According the integration technician we spoke with Commission Junction said "most clients do not want us to track this since they don't pay us, and our fees assume a certain level of non-tracked sales". Unbelievable but true! Advertisers should recognize that

Multi-variable testing also known as "A/B testing" is where two different wrappers (each with different variables) are displayed on the same website concurrently. Half of the visitors are shown website A, and the other half are shown website B. A/B testing is useful for determining if changes made to a site have a positive impact on sales. The field "multivarsite" is set to either an "A" or "B" in the order object. The online sales reports (in the reports area) display a multi-variable column and break out sales totals for each variable. The following SPECL code will output either an "A" or a "B" if multi-variable (A/B) testing is enabled. You can use this in conjunction with javascript to track performance. <% loadurp("CART::multivars

With the NETWORK bundle, the Zoovy Order Manager can be installed on multiple computers and all stations may utilize a common database. There are two ways to get multiple user support: Multi-User Network, and Enterprise. NETWORK allows the Order Manager database to be installed on a shared network drive and then be accessed by multiple installations of the software. A single workstation is designated as the primary station, the primary station is the one which is allowed to synchronize and make changes to the company configuration. Additional stations can be used by customer service personnel, but those personnel should not synchronize. The station with sync manager is the only station which that needs to sync, the client machines do not need to sync as they will read the database from the syncing machine.

In general every basic task should be performed before tackling standard tasks, and all applicable standard tasks should be done before beginning on advanced tasks. The following codes are used throughout this document to reference for estimating. SMALL-SITE: Small site - less than 10 products. AVERAGE-SITE: Average Site - less than 12 top level categories, less than 1,000 sku's, less than 50 categories overall. BIG-SITE: Big Site - anything bigger than an avera

At this time Zoovy does not offer an integration with any freight companies. If you are interested in having a custom integration done with a freight company, please keep the following information in mind. We are unable to integrate with any companies who use widgets to determine freight costs. Widgets will not work with our shopping carts. However, if you find a service that offers an API for us to work with, an integration may be possible. API's are able to communicate necessary information back to the cart. Please keep in mind that this would be done as an hourly project at our development rate of $150/hr. In the meantime if you need to ship items via freight, you can setup flat rate shipping for its compatibility with various marketplaces. If you need help getting this setup, please schedule some time with implementation.

This document discusses some of the upcoming changes to the Zoovy Desktop Applications. It covers a brief history of the applications (which might be real interesting for older Zoovy customers) and then discusses the future of the clients. When Zoovy was founded back in October of 1999 we knew that a web-interface would have limitations for companies who did substantial order processing volume. We also knew that a desktop application could overcome many of the limitations of disconnect-prone modem based Internet connections. We started with the plan of having a single desktop application titled "Zoovy Desktop" built in a programming language called "Delphi". Delphi was a robust language, and clearly the right choice at the time - however it quickly became clear that it was impossible for one development team to mirror all of the rapid ev

The Zoovy Integrated Desktop (ZID) is the new name for the combined Order Manager and Warehouse Manager products.

Version 8.0 will be released in Q1 with a new database (non-Access). Releases ending in an odd number e.g. 7.005 are considered BETA or "less stable", whereas releases ending in an even number e.g. 7.006 would be considered RELEASE-CANDIDATES or "more stable". The entire 7.xxx series is a development branch which means it's releases will undergo less testing in an effort to get features into the application at a faster pace.

These days using Paypal Express checkout is a good idea since Paypal will transmit the shipping address (on file in their Paypal account) to Zoovy as part of the checkout process, so the buyer can't have one shipping address at Zoovy and another at Paypal, this will also proactively solve a variety of potential shipping issues. Zoovy supports Paypal which is the largest person to person payment system. Services like paypal offer an inexpensive and secure alternative to Merchant Acco

Order Manager makes it easy to batch print USPS approved delivery confirmation labels for free (you still need postage, but no fee for delivery confirmation). It is very important you follow the instructions provided by the postal service, specifically please ensure that all labels are firmly attached to the box, and MUST not be bent, folded, as this will make them unscannable. In the event the US Postal Services notifies Zoovy that your labels are unscannable, or the data is improperly formatted you may have your access to this feature removed - the best way to ensure compliance is to verify your labels with your local post master. You must have a From Name, and a To Name configured or an error will be generated. In the to: state it must be a two letter state code. Absolutely NO HTML must

Zoovy syndication sends products to Amazon in batches of up to 100. If there is an XML error in a batch, the entire batch will fail to be submitted. In short, it is in your best interests to correct all of the errors that appear in your Logs. By correcting just one error, you are potentially freeing up to 100 products. ZOOVY ERRORS/WARNINGS (SKU errored before syndication) WARN: Looks like a duplicate UPC: ?????????? for ??????????Be careful with your UPCs. SKUs with the same UPC will sometimes be automatically "merged" by Amazon. ie they are assumed to be the same product, with title and images merged. This can cause your SKUs to be sold at the wrong price.

This training is the first step in getting your products on Amazon from Zoovy. It is highly recommended that you schedule training for the best results in getting your products over to Amazon's Seller Central platform correctly. Here is a tutorial video from Amazon.

As of December 2008, the the Consumer Product Safety Commission is requiring warnings to be placed on webpage listings to denote safety warnings that appear on the packages of toys with cautionary statements. A field has been put in place to address this requirement, and may be added as a part of the flex edit fields. Set up an implementation appointment or open a support ticket to have the variable, zoovy:prod_warning, added to your account. If you sell toys that have warnings on the box for choking hazards, you are required to display the same warning on the webpages that you are selling the products on.

Amazon Syndication is a complicated process in which many things can go wrong. Below are listed some common issues and their resolutions. Step 1 - Confirm that SKU is purchasable on Amazon.com Step 1A - Go to SellerCentral: Inventory and search for the SKU - if SKU is not found, proceed to "SKU cannot be found on SellerCentral" Step 1B - Click on the Title for this SKU, redirects to Amazon.com - if SKU is unavailable for purchase, proceed to "SKU found on Amazon.com but unavailable for purchase" Step 2 - Consult with Amazon

eBay stores presents an entirely new way to acquire traffic - with incredibly low listing fees ($0.02 per month/per item), and "pass-through" searching - specifically if enough matches for a search are not found on eBay.com then eBay automatically searches eBay stores. You can dramatically increase your sales by having your items submitted to eBay stores. This feature allows you to synchronize products from your Zoovy store with your eBay store on a category by category basis. Before getting started you will need to have an eBay store associated with your eBay account - and you will need to have the EBAY flag on your account. This program ignores listings which were not created by Zoovy. This program will not launch another listing when an existing listing for the same product was previously launched through an eBa

Checkout by Amazon (CbA) allows customers to use their Amazon wallet to pay for items in your Zoovy online store.

Be sure to read all the setup instructions before you get started. We will attempt to document all the obscurities. You must follow these steps explicitly to get this configured. If yo

In this section, unless otherwise noted, the parameters listed will work with either the PRODLIST or PRODSEARCH elements. All the key/value pairs of parameter ARE case sensitive.

There are several steps to implement Amazon Syndication. Pick a product that you would like syndicated to Amazon. Go to https://sellercentral.amazon.com Find the Item Classification Guide inside of Seller Central. We suggest that you use the Online Item Classified Guide (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/icg/icg.html) Within the Online Classification Guide, you can either select Category and Sub-category OR you can search for an Item Type Keyword. This Category will be used as your Amazon Product Type in Zoovy. The Online Classification Guide generates an Item Type in the text box area. The Item Type will be used in your Thesaurus. You want to copy and paste this value exactly into your Thesaurus. The additional fields (such as "What is the item used for", "Target Audience", etc.) c

Google Base is a new experimental way of submitting data to the Google Database search engine. Effectively allowing you to add information directly into Google's Database (hence the name "Google Base"). Feeding data directly allows Google to receive structured content. Using this structured information will help Google produce even better search results, and also reduce common errors associated with "spidering" pages. The long reaching ramifications of Google Base are extensive. Because Google will likely give preference to structured versus unstructured information it is logical to assume that the basic precepts of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) will be completely irrelevant in 6 months to 2 years (based

If you have a spreadsheet or can construct a spreadsheet of products, Zoovy allows you to upload these products to your account. A CSV upload is one of the most technically challenging aspects of using Zoovy. We advise this only for experienced computer users.

If you are at all uncertain about how to upload to a navigation category through a CSV it is probably wisest not to do it.

These are instructions for how to enter and manage your products used with Supply Chain in Zoovy. One way to tell if a product is associated to a dropship supplier is by going to the Product Editor and looking in the Shipping section. If the product is associated to a supplier you will see italicized text stating: "This is a virtual product from (Supplier). Shipping settings from the supplier will be used." If you are using Generic Supply Chain, you have a number of methods to associate your products to a supplier. In Utilities > Supply Chain Management, you can add in products that will be associated to that supplier one by one. Use this interface to associate products that are already in your Zoovy database or create

All they need to do is click the link and enter their email address. Later, when the inventory for that item is added to your store, an email is sent to the customer letting them know, typ

Zoovy provies a generic payment processing interface which allows Internet Merchants to quickly and easily add or remove payment types from their website with little or no changes. Having the ability to change out payment types gives the merchant independence from policy changes, outages, poor support or a host of other issues which may have a direct impact on their business. Order Status is different than payment status for more information on order status. In the Zoovy payment processing system, each order is mapped to one disinct payment code (given below), as the order moves through the system the Merchant, or other external systems may update that payment code as the funds are received or settled. Several terms are used throughout this document, to avoid confusion an explanation of e

Once you have successfully launched to EBay through Zoovy, you will probably want to take advantage of some of the advanced tools we have to offer. This is an optional training, only required for customers that intend to use EBay as a marketplace. It is very important that you have complete comprehension of EBay 1A and EBay 1B before you attempt to use these tools. Please launch at least one test auction before using these tools. We want to know that you are launching to EBay in the way that you want to before we start automating the process. These features are only available to user's with the Auction Bundle.

This is an optional training, only required for customers that intend to use EBay as a marketplace. This training is on how to launch to EBay through your Zoovy account. You must have configured an EBay Profile and selected an HTML Wizard before launching to EBay. You must complete EBay 1A before taking this training.

The Zoovy Shipping Calculator is a service available to accounts with the EBAY bundle and can be used in a variety of different ways. The easiest is to simply embed the following HTML: Zip Code: You'll notice that we use "0*%SKU%" rather than "%SKU%". We do this to trick the shipping system into believing it is dealing with an incomplete item, rather than a normal product so it will process any special rules which apply only to incomplete items. If you use fixed price shipping, and do not require the customer enter a zip code, then you can re

This document will review many of the most common errors that you can see when previewing a launch of a listing to ebay. These errors all come directly from ebay, and can take a bit of interpretation, but usually outline the problem with the product or launch settings. If you get an error "This listing will be created using a LEGACY Listing Profile" when previewing your listing; please do the following: Click on utilities > eBay account setup > profiles Click edit next to the profile with version legacy Click save You will need to configure the default profile.

The default search that Zoovy provides to all customers is a product id and product title search. It does not search descriptions, or other custom attributes, and no custom keywords can be specified. With the Advanced site search feature you can quickly and easily create custom catalogs of one or more specific fields. For example you can create searches of product description, product title, and product id. Or create a custom search which includes nothing but manufacturer product id, ISBN, or any other field you may have for your products. Advanced Site searches can appear as text boxes, or as drop down select lists (using a bit of custom HTML). Using the Advanced Site Search feature requires the WEB bundle be available to your account. With both types of searches the output can be customized just like any o

You do not have to manually email the customer after an auction closes. After any auction closes an external item is created and an email is sent to the winner. The external item is assigned a number and a link is sent to the customer in the email (ex. http://yourname.zoovy.com/claim/1234) allowing only the auction winner to purchase the item. They can then add the item to the cart just like any other item in your store. You can see the external item under Order -> Incomplete in the web interface. On the right hand side you will see a status column which will tell you whether or not the customer has visited the website or not to make the purchase. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; External Items are effectively "Incomplete Orders", they are a list of things you have agreed to sell to people, which was negotiated by a marketplace. For example E

Paypal Express Checkout is one of the multitude of Paypal payment offerings. Zoovy supports Paypal Direct Payments, and Express Checkout, as well as the Payflow Pro gateway (which is owned by Paypal, but is called the Verisign Payflow Pro gateway in Zoovy) Merchants should be aware, so they can be ready to assist thier customers, that while Paypal Express has all the functionality of the old style legacy Paypal payment type, there are differences. Paypal Express was designed from the ground up as a checkout type, as opposed to legacy Paypal which was a payment type that your customers could choose from. What this means to the customer is that while they are used to going through native checkouts, then selecting paypal as

Yes, is in place and ready to use. Melissa is currently using it with her store, so direct any questions to her initially. -How much does it cost? -Depends on how much you are storing there, and shipping.

Other hidden fees are there as well - be sure to have them discuss any other fees (such as ticketed invoices, bad sku invoices, bad addr

Please notify support if you should find one that no longer works. Also for further updates of known eBay issues please see There are two links for every Profile: "Config" and "Shipping." There is also an HTML Wizard that must be selected. Be certain to setup both parts of your Profile.

This basic training will teach you how to build categories for your online store. A "category" in Zoovy terminology is a page for your online store. We advise to wait until you have settled on how your custom designed website will look before creating your categories. The "Safe" name is the first name that you give a category. The "Pretty" name is what is shown on your webstore to your customers. You create the Pretty name by using the Rename button under the category after it has been created. Your categories are ordered by the firs

Your Zoovy store can track inventory for internal use or disclose inventory information to your customers. Designing an inventory system which is compatible with many diverse business models is very difficult for any business. We have attempted to design a system that is as easy to use, but still offers the most flexibility available. At Zoovy we have identified four distinctly different types of inventory users, who have extremely different inventory needs. Because Zoovy supports so many different types of businesses, it made supporting each of those inventory models a little bit tricky. The three types of users are: TYPE 1 - Internal Only - inventory is used for internal use only, such as re-ordering. They never want to tell a customer that an item is out of stock, because they can re-order any item they need. These businesses are equipp

Zoovy makes it easy to calculate taxes for orders. You can calculate taxes based on the state, city, zip code, or even country for the destination of an order. Sales tax is automatically applied to the order, and can easily be accessed via the detailed reporting features of the Zoovy Reports section. Specific customer accounts may be associated with a Resale Tax ID (using the Wholesale feature bundle) and then those customers will not have tax applie dot their orders. Click on the Setup tab and then Sales Tax. Sales tax is configured using tax tables, which can be created and managed using either the Rule Wizard or Expert Mode.(Both of these tools are explained later in this doc) Using either of these tools, a merchant can configure custom tax tables to indicate what taxes should be computed for sales to specific locations

Specialty Sites are a way for a merchant to have multiple online web stores that use the same checkout, shipping, payment methods, order processing, etc., as the primary store. The configuration is fairly simple, but there are a few steps that you will have to take before you can start populating your site. You will want a different set of navigation categories for your new site. This is done by creating a hidden category to represent your new site. Then create subcategories beneath that one to be the navigation that is displayed. Click Setup Click Categories & Lists Click Add New beneath Homepage Click Create a name for the category, but use an exclamation point as the first character. That will ensure that the category is hidden and does not show

Zoovy offers an Express Design Services which is geared specifically for two primary audiences: Startup Edition store owners who often lack the design expertise, have minimal budgets, and need an expedited service to generate sales as quickly as possible. Zoovy One store owners who are building multiple specialty sites and do not want to dedicate the requisite time or resources towards building a custom tailored website for each domain. The Zoovy Premium Design Service is geared towards site owners who know exactly what they want in a site, or who want control over the final product. Premium sites involve multiple back and forth iterations with a designer where the business owner and designer collaborate. This is especially useful for site owners who already have custom work and the business owner feels compelled to dictate which aspects of the current design they wish to

Zoovy allows you to upload a different logo for each profile. The logo selected will be used on the store, auctions and emails associated with that profile. You can select a different logo for invoices, which should be black and white and have your domain name in it. Your company’s logo is its identity. A logo is a tiny advertisement for your company that gives your customers an easy way of remembering who you are, and what you do. The design of your logo should communicate the name of your company and what it does. In cases where the name of your company does not clearly indicate your business, you should add a tagline. A logo, by definition, consists of a mark and/or your company name. If you sell pet supplies, putting your company name on a picture of your sisters dog is not a good logo. Pictures don't translate well to black and white (not greys

For a full list of supported/non-supported third party software/applications and our polices, please visit: CAUTION - using Google AdSense Using Google Ads will incur additional fees by Zoovy or get you suspended. Do not use Google Ads with your Zoovy sites. Google Ads will cause the pages refresh twice on most browsers, thus the tracking isn't accurate and the cart/checkout won't work right. In addition, the servers have to work twice as hard, requiring additional resources.

Zoovy has a special field called "Manufacturer ID" that can be used for a variety of purposes. It can be used in place of your Zoovy Product ID when sending a supply chain order. It can be used as a part number or other unique identifier in site searches. In the future, we will be able to send your products to QuickBooks with the Manufacturer SKU instead of your Zoovy Product ID. The Manufacturer ID field is found under the Marketplace Syndication tab of your Product Editor. The manufacturer SKU field is found on each of your products under the Inventory section if you are using inventorial options. Often, merchants wish to send a different Product ID or part number to their supplier than they have entered into their Zoovy accounts. This is perfect for the manufactu

Issue: error loading gallery images on ebay listings - Ebay stock image placeholder shown instead of gallery image. Usually when you see the ebay stock image instead of your own image for the product in the gallery search result display, it's because there was some issue loading the correct image up to ebay, or ebay had a problem accessing that image location when polling the url. To correct the gallery image issue, you should be able to use the following URL: http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?DisplayGalleryImagePageV3& Item=XXXX Just replace the XXXX with the ebay item number for the problem listing. That should allow you to re-poll the image. Here's a step by step if you need it: 1. Go to ebay.com>login>My EBay>All Selling (on the left had side) 2. Look at your active listings, and see if there are any listings that have a picture of what l

At this time Zoovy does not support Bill-me-later integration. Bill me later works exclusively with clients which are doing in excess of $10m annual sales. We have confirmed reports that Bill-me-later will be launching a pilot program with merchant-e-solutions in 2008. Zoovy has no plans to support the Merchant-e-solutions integration/gateway at this time. 7/08/08 -- Just had a conversation with Karen from Bill Me Later. Merchant-e-solutions has a pilot program for them for clients under $10m annual gms. Currently there is no way to board clients under $10m except via Merchant-e-solutions, but to be clear, the program has not gone live, when it does, they expect other processors e.g. paymenttech to follow suite. They expect more processors to have low volume programs available in the fall. ChasePayment Tech only

The goal of the PowerLister is to act like an employee who constantly monitors and tunes your auctions for you. The eBay PowerLister is built to accommodate the high level of sell-thru that can occur with certain types of items on eBay. The fundamental idea behind PowerLister is simple; list more when an item is hot and less when an item is not. For this reason PowwerLister is ideally suited to handle the unique selling profile needed for the Buy It Now and Fixed Price feature on eBay. If you don't plan to use the Buy It Now or Fixed Price feature, then you should look into using Channel Scheduler, it is quite a bit simpler. PowerLister is an expert system that runs on top of the Zoovy eBay Database. Understanding what each setting does, and how PowerLister thinks will help you better utilize this tool.

Rules based shipping lets you make business decisions on the shipping price based on the items in the cart. Rules based shipping makes those decisions based on the contents of the cart, either the SKU, or the product description. Customers who plan to use Rules based modifications are encouraged to plan their product id's accordingly. Specifically products which should have the same rule applied to them should have similar SKUs so that it will be possible to use wildcards to identify ranges of products. For example a rule which matched A* would match all products in the cart which start with an A, including ABC, ABD, AIE, but not BOO. Rules are processed at the top of the list and going down. Every rule will be processed unless a STOP action is encountered. Each rule works off

Our Content Management System (CMS) uses a theme (also called a site wrapper) to provide a consistent look and feel throughout your entire store. The theme typically consists of the static elements which appear from page to page, including logo, navigation, menus, and the footer. In Zoovy, the theme also dictates the colors & amp; fonts which will appear throughout your site. Themes allow you to change the look and feel of your entire site at the click of a button. Choosing the right theme is one of the most important decisions you will make when setting up your store. The theme communicates to your customer who you are and what type of business you run. You should pick a theme that corresponds to the way you run your business as well as the type of product you sell and custome

When I click on order manager I get "zoovy common auth has encountered a problem and needs to close" The error received is caused by corrupt .NET framework. Up until recently, this was a difficult fix, as there was no "real" way to remove .NET from your system.

This document describes the business case behind why Zoovy requires that we are made both the delegate and registrar for a domain before any of the advanced domain features are available. For example in order to configure a REDIRECT DOMAIN (which is used to create a HTTP 301 redirect for the http://username.zoovy.com domain) a domain owner will need to make Zoovy the registrar for the target domain. A lot of technical people who understand DNS often will debate that if Zoovy is given an NS delegation, that should "suffice" and there is no reason to change registrars. Given the experiences we handle in our Technical Support department, we disagree. We've heard most of the arguments to be made, and taken them into consideration. We've

By adding products to a list it will not allow a customer to manually navigate to the product but will still render the product searchable by keyword. In addition the product will still display if the correct path for the product is typed in the URL. This is normally used if you would like to syndicate particular products to a marketplace. This is very helpful when a category has products that you do want to syndicate but also has products that you don't. In this case you wouldn't want to map the category to be syndicated. You would want to create a product list, instead.

eBates is the original reverse affiliate program. Merchants routinely offer an affiliate commission for referred sales. In a reverse affiliate model, a portion of the funds paid to the affiliate are shared with the customer. eBates was established in 1999 and has a large network of approximately 6 million members who give purchasing preference to sites which participate in the eBates program. eBates members can also choose to donate their savings to a charity organization of their choice. Many high profile charity organizations encourage their members to shop through eBates whenever possible. Historically eBates has only worked with major online Affiliate programs such as commission Junction, Clixgalore, or Kowabunga to board merchants - however merchants would typically pay thousands of dollars in setup fees, plus an additional 3-5% commission fee

Here are some easy solutions to common email annoyances. We used to occasionally see errors when people use Outlook to read their messages via IMAP. The old advice was to keep the number of message in their Inbox down and occasionally refile them to another folder after reading them. FuseMail took some steps to make their server behave better for Outlook, but we will still sometimes see the error. The IMAP cache helps keep your mail from being dog slow when they read it or search through it. If it gets out of sync with the actual messages, it causes problems. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that people who use webmail + Outlook at the same time or multiple Outlook clients at the same time on the same account might run into this more than others. We would typically have to ope

Now that you have added your products, you need to add them to your navigation categories. Good website design allows the customer to actually place the item into their shopping cart within 3 clicks from the home page. If you have grouped your navigation well, the products will follow this purchase flow quite well. Navigation categories should be used to organize your website and make it easier for customers to find your products. You can create navigation categories on your website to organize your products to make them easier for your customers to find. Products can be placed in more than one category. You should put products wherever you think your customers might look for them. From website builder select the navigation page option for products.

We have too many completed orders to be able to see all of them in Order Manager. Is there a way to archive orders so we can clear Order Manager, but still access them? You can actually archive orders by Logging into Zoovy, clicking on Utilities, and clicking on Archive orders under Account Utilities Section. This allows you to Archive orders older than any selected date. This will hide the archived orders Online, as well as in Order Manager once sync'ed. You will still be able to search for orders by number in the Online manager.

This document is offered to clients who have opted for our Enhanced Service Level agreement and who feel they need more protection than the standard Zoovy terms of service affords. This agreement is negotiated by each client on an individual basis typically as part of an annual contract. It does not apply to all clients. This is available on a client by client basis, typically as part of a negotiated pricing agreement and an annual contract. This is only offered to clients when specifically requested. Generally this should only be discussed with clients who are willing to commit more than $20k in revenue (minimums, or setup fees) over the next calendar year. That means if the client wants an "ESLA" then they're going to be expected to commit to certain revenue targets: E.g. existing client - minimum monthly fee up to $1,500/mo. minimum E.g. new client - $12,00

Donations are a bit tricky, but can absolutely be done. Zoovy normally requires that each item in a store have a set price, the only way to circumvent this is to use a soft cart setting that is a Developer option. If you do not have developer on your account then you cannot allow customers to configure the amount, however this should not stop you - just create donation products in the most common donation amounts ($5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, etc.) Name each of the products with a unique identifier. For example, start each one with the letters DON and then verify that no products in your store also start with DON. Make sure the DON series of products are not taxable. You should also make sure the products have a product id that separates them from the other products in your store (e.g. DON*). Then create a simp

When McAfee is updated, it may block Zoovy as an unrecognized program. Unblock Zoovy in McAfee and grant full access. Second, the mcafee update has a new feature to stop the worm, and if it sees you sending more than a few emails at a time, or emails with a similiar subject line it blocks them. You can turn this feature off in the advanced settings area. There are some known incompatibilities with Norton Antivirus. If you receive authentication errors, you should disable Norton Antivirus and try again. You may need to set your firewall rules or permissions up for Order Manager.

Businesses often need to setup repetitive billing for things such as subscriptions. These need to be billed typically either monthly, daily, or annually. Zoovy does not have any standard features specifically designed for customers who are doing repetitive billing. However, that does not mean it cannot be done, just that it's not a native feature. Furthermore at this time Zoovy has no plans to include native support for allowing a customer to subscribe, de-subscribe, and the associated issues such as pro-rating, and managing effective dates. There are excellent systems which are already built for handling the complications surrounding periodic billing, and Zoovy provides plenty of ways to import/export data to those applications and services. NOTE: None of the ideas, concepts, etc. below are supported by Zoovy, since we don't officially support periodic billing. However, they are meant to be a helpful

This document details specifically with Authorize.Net, for more general information on setting up gateways please visit: Zoovy uses Authorize.Net's advanced integration method (AIM) and you should ignore any messages from them encouraging you to change your shopping cart integration (we have always used the safest connection method for all of our credit card gateways). Since Zoovy uses AIM mode for connecting to Authorizenet, you shouldn't have to add any URLs into their interface for SIM support. The CID number is the 4 digit number on the front of the American Express card. The CID number is not encoded on the magnetic strip and therefore makes the data harder to steal. To use CID #'s American Express requires merchants to verify they are using a PCI Compliant s

Each site is put into a cluster of webservers which increases the overall complexity, but also equips each site to deal with far higher traffic loads and also eliminates the possibility that another customer on the same server can affect other customers (at the same time eliminating the need to have one server per customer). Incoming shoppers are automatically routed to the "least busy server" and then their session is kept on that server for the duration of their visit, unless that

This document covers the issue concerning email from eBay that gallery images are unable to be found. You may sometimes receive email from ebay that they are unable to obtain a gallery image. Below is a common example of the email form they send out: "Dear Seller: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. SEE BELOW FOR INSTRUCTIONS. Thank you for choosing to be part of eBay's Gallery! Unfortunately, your item (eBay item number here) has not yet been added to the gallery. The problem is: We could not connect to the Web server name specified by: http://static.zoovy.com/img/merchant_name/code/imagename Check your image URL to make sure that it is correct. You can correct your URL at: http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?DisplayGalleryImagePageV3& Item=250057135 810

This guide is specifically designed to acclimate auction sellers to the Zoovy e-commerce platform. This guide does not explain the intricacies of auctions and rather assumes that you are already familiar with terms such as feedback, fixed price, and buy it now, and therefore we can simply focus on the various features of the Zoovy system as they relate to auctions. Throughout this guide you will see Keywords which can be typed into the search box at http://webdoc.zoovy.com for more information on the desired subject. Zoovy uses products to keep track of auctions because it is an e-commerce system at the core. In all cases you will create a product first then create your auction ad to launch an auction or channel. Each product has basic properties such as title and description, which are used to build an auction descr

I placed a recent order that was intended to bill and ship to the same address. When I printed out the Fed Ex label, using FedEx Ship Manager (via Quickbooks), the shipping address from an earlier order the same customer placed was utilized. Looking into Quickbooks, I can see that the customer's home address was in the Bill to area, but the old ship to address was in place in the Shipping area. It appears that when I synchronized, the shipping address area did not get updated. When you say that you printed the label, you mentioned using FedEx Ship Manager. You didn't print out the label from Order Manager? Is there a reason why? I think that printing out of ZOM would resolve this problem for you, as I suspect that ZOM has the correct information for the order, but that QB d

The development roadmap is a picture into “what big things we're working on” here at Zoovy. Keep in mind that there are a lot of smaller enhancements that get built in every day. Rather these are things that we spent the winter holidays prototyping and testing feasibility. We believe the implementation and subsequent adoption of these features will deliver additional revenue to the majority of our merchants, and subsequently to us. Here at Zoovy we work on loose deadlines, bugs are always given priority over features, and from time to time we need to stop and rework the foundation before building new features and it's very often hard to accurately anticipate how much time each change will take. With th

One of the most powerful, often misunderstood features in Zoovy is the Image Library, which allow users to easily upload and store images without knowing the size or details. When you upload a file into the Image Library Zoovy will automatically resize it to the appropriate size for the image you are working with. In the Zoovy system each image is stored in a hashed directory based on the first letter of their first name. This provides for a quick and easy way to lookup an image (and its corresponding directory) based on nothing more than the images name. It also prevents the users from needing to have a complicated sorting method. Web users should use the filename exclusively, whereas windows clients may want to save additional data in a briefcase. So lets say you upload XXX.gif here's what happens: "We create XXX.dd is p

If you go into SETUP, in checkout properties you should MAKE SURE you enable shipping to be displayed in your cart. Customers love this feature, but remember it is only compatible with non-origin shipping formats so you can't use it with USPS, UPS, or Federal Express. It's worth mentioning that if you don't put in your Federal Express number that the shipping system will default to Zoovy's fedex number which quotes high shipping rates, and an origin from zip code 92007. Shipping for auctions is calculated just like any other product in the store. There are three ways to calculate different shipping for auctions, one is to use special fixed price fees for external items, the second is to use API shipping, the third is to use options which only apply to eBay listings. This is the most common

Google Checkout is direct competition for PayPal. As a result, eBay is not supporting Google Checkout. If you are an eBay seller do not use Google Checkout on the same partition as your eBay auctions. You should create your Google Checkout account in the same Google account that you use Adwords. Go to checkout.google.com and setup a buyer's account. You need a buyer's account before creating a seller's account. In Google Checkout, go to Settings > Integration to find your Google Merchant ID and Google Merchant Key. Return to Zoovy and bring your Google Merchant ID and Google Merchant Key into Setup > Payment Methods > Google Checkout. At the bottom of the Google Checkout page in Zoovy, you will find the

APO addresses are oftentimes confusing for the merchant when setting up shipping and shipping rules.

Manage User Logins allows an administrative user to create sub-accounts for employees and specify which portions of this site each employee may access. Throughout this document the term "Master Account" or "Master User" refers to logging in to Zoovy without any specific user. The master account cannot be deleted, and always implicitly contains administrative priviledges. All User Accounts are created by first logging into the Master Account. The Master Account is always the same as the Zoovy store name. For example if the Zoovy store name is "ACMEINC" and is located at http://acmeinc.zoovy.com then the Master User is simply "ACMEINC". If the Master User creates 3 separate employee logins for Phil, Bob, and Sharon then those logins would be "ACMEINC*PHIL", "ACMEINC*BOB", and "ACMEINC*SHARON" r

eBay is the largest auction site in the world. By putting your products on eBay you can expose them to new customers who are interested in purchasing your products online. Zoovy can facilitate the creation of an Ebay auction by either placing the auction for you, or letting you create the auction using any software or the eBay interface and then importing the auction into the Zoovy system. When an auction being tracked by the Zoovy system is complete all the high bidders will be automatically contacted by Zoovy and invited to come back to your store and purchase the item. Zoovy will create an "external item" which includes the price, name, weight, and description of the auction and will allow the auction winner(s) to purchase that item. Winners can combine multiple auctions from any auction site, and Zoovy will apply your standard shipping and payment policies to the

The Barcoding system has been phased out and is no longer in use. Zoovy will be reintroducing an updated Barcode system in 2008 along with the new Point of Sales system. More information to be released shortly. Product Manager can be used to print barcode labels for products using a custom channel definition and the INPUT TYPE=SKU. Product Manager also supports the same barcode printing solution as the SOHO version of Product Manager for printing SKU and Price. For more information on printing bar codes in Product Manager, follow this link. Order Manager also supports barcode printing of labels using the JIT interface. The JIT interface will print a "Shipping Label", "Return Label", or a "Store Label". When working in the JIT

The sub order status feature allows you to create custom statuses for your orders. With sub statuses the orders still exist in the primary status such as Recent, Pending, Approved, Completed, etc. but you can also assign one custom status to the order as a "child" of these default status conditions. Sub Order Status is an Order Manager ONLY feature, the sub statuses will NOT appear on the web, the orders will simply appear as Recent, Completed, Pending, etc. Step 1 - log into ZOM Step 2 - click on Admin > Sub Order Status Editor Step 3 - To CREATE: Step 3.1 - Order: Select Order from drop-down menu, this is the "parent" status of the new sub order status you are creating Step 3.2 - Routing Cod

This guide is designed to discuss the various ways of accepting payment from eBay Buyers. There are two fundamentally competing approaches towards accepting payment. The first is Zoovy Checkout, and the second is eBay/Paypal Checkout. We hope to provide an impartial look at the two technologies and show how they can be integrated into your website. While reading this document you should be aware that you can utilize both eBay Checkout and Zoovy Checkout simultaneously however you will need to plan carefully and recognize that it may lead to buyer confusion, and possibly errors if not configured with a meticulous attention to detail. eBay/Paypal Checkout is enabled in an auction by having "Enable Checkout" along with the Paypal Automatic Logo Insertion configured in your eBay.com account preferences, and checking the box "I

The digital downloads manager is an optional module (which can be customized on a per client basis as necessary) that allows users to purchase products which correspond to one or more files that can be downloaded after the sale. The digital downloads application is installed on a hosting server. The store owner is given an access URL, plus a login and password A supplier (e.g. DOWNLOAD) is created in the store, and pointed at the hosting server. One or more products is associated with the DOWNLOAD supplier in the store. The store owner uploads a file and associates with a PRODUCTID that was associated with the DOWNLOAD supplier. If necessary, multiple files can be associated with a single PRODUCTID When orders are placed (and typically flagged as paid) they are automatically dispatched via s

The Disk Space Manager allows you to view the amount of space currently in use by your account. It also includes tools for removing orphaned images which are often the largest culprit of wasted space. To reduce server load and provide equal access to all customers the Disk Space Tool is only available during off peak hours. The "Compute Disk Space" button displays the amount of disk space used by key portions of your website. You may notice the sum of all the areas may be less than the TOTAL_USAGE this is because some hidden files cannot be displayed, but are computed in the TOTAL_USAGE. As a rule these hidden files typically contain less than 1mb of content. The IMAGES directory also includes your custom files.

The CSS attribute is a node for your CONFIG element. This css will be output in your HEAD element when the theme renders. You can have your own styles in the theme itself (or an external style sheet) as needed, but you should not add your own styles or css attributes to the zoovy styles. <![CDATA[.zbody { background-color: #ffffff; } .zborder { border: 1px solid #EDF2FD; } .zbox { border: 1px solid #C0C0C0; } .zbox_body { background-color: #EDEEEF; color: #515151; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica; font-size: 8pt; } .zbox_head { background-color: #DBDDDF; color: #959B9E; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica; font-size: 10pt; } .zcolor </div>

This is information for Zoovy's Windows Vista users. When you set up Windows, you were required to create a user account. This account is an administrator account, which allows you to set up your computer and install any programs that you would like to use. Once you have finished setting up your computer, we recommend that you create a standard account and use it for your everyday computing. If you create new user accounts, you should also make them standard accounts. Using standard accounts will help keep your computer more secure. The steps that you should follow will vary, depending on whether your computer is on a domain or a workgroup.

Is it possible to export "recent" orders to a csv file? If so, how is that accomplished? Truthfully I was hoping to do this via the online order manager. All of my skus are prefixed so that I am aware of the distributor. Example would be WMM prefix indicates the order is for Doba. What I would like to have is the ability to export the order information with sku, customer name and address, and product description. This feature is available in Order Manager 6.142 or Integrated Desktop version 7 and higher. Simply select one or more orders - then right click and create a "Shipping Export File" You may also want to look into supply chain as a more efficient way to get orders to select suppliers.

Every Zoovy site comes with the ability for customers to login and check order status. This guide outlines some of the finer configuration details. Customers have the options of creating an account (or having an account automatically created for them) based on the Account Creation settings in Setup / Checkout Properties. In addition any customers who have signed up for the mailing list will also have an account. Customizing your default emails to encourage customers to use the online customer login area can substantially reduce the amount time you spend handling customer service.

The Zoovy Order Manager brings the power of your Zoovy website right to your desktop. You can immunize your business from intermitent Internet access, and slow downloads. You can also provide employees with a restricted environment to perform their work, and use this tool to send targeted emails, and print invoices. You can even use Order Manager to set up a shipping station and have invoices, packing slips and shipping labels printed right where you do your shipping. Zoovy Order Manager is part of Zoovy Integrated Desktop. Order Manager automatically synchronizes inventory with your store - even while you

Froogle, also known as GoogleBase, is the shopping service for Google. By focusing entirely on product search, Froogle applies the power of Google's search technology to a very specific task: locating stores that sell the item you want to find and pointing you directly to the place where you can make a purchase. Froogle normally searches the web for products (through a process called spidering), however Zoovy has the ability to submit products into Froogle's database.

We've signed up to try some Fulfillment by Amazon. How does Zoovy handle these orders? We don't want to ship them twice, but we still need them pulled down so we can export to Quickbooks and reconcile properly. Thanks. Amazon doesn't currently support integration for this feature (though they have plans to). You will need to export the orders and then import them into your Zoovy store. Please setup an implementation appointment for assistance with this process. We will let you know as soon Amazon has this integration in place.

On Thursday the 28th of September 2006 the Zoovy public forums were closed. We made this decision based on the fact that the forums were becoming an unreliable source of information for new and existing members of the Zoovy community. A minority of users were abusing the forums, posting code tips that could potentially break customer's stores, giving instruction on the use of Zoovy tools in non-accurate ways and posting information about Zoovy products that was inaccurate and defamatory. This situation was made worse by the lack of resources to police the forums for these types of behaviour and finally the discovery of a potential security exploit in the forum sofware. Based on all of these circumstances we decided not to continue the forum service. We do not have any plans to re-introduce the forums in the foreseeable future.

Issue: properly setting up shipping methods Platform: na Topic: web_manager We started receiving orders with multiple items and noticed a problem in our shipping configuration... If an order has multiple light-weight items, and the "Quote as a multibox shipment (each SKU in its own box)" in Setup » Shipping » UPS Shipping is ENABLED, site charges customer a lot more money for shipping, because these light items are combinable. But if the order has multiple heavy items, then site charges customer too little, thinking that it can combine large/heavy items, but in reality they cannot be combined. Here is a scenario... Quote as a multibox shipment (each SKU in its own box) ON: Add 1 x SKU# ABC (widget, weights 1#) to cart = $7.97 shipping to 90210 zip Add 5 x SKU# ABC to cart = $37.85 shipping Add 10 x SKU# ABC to cart = $75.20 shipping

The Enterprise platform provides multi-user functionality compared to the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) which is only intended for use on a single computer. In an Enterprise configuration the warehouse manager database is shared with the order manager database. Having a shared database means that products, or inventory updates that are added via warehouse manager are instantly seen by the Order Manager desktop client regardless if the database has been synchronized or not. Enterprise customers in two flavors: Basic - $195/mo. this is what most customers will need. Plus - $500/mo. this is the same code base, but comes with an enhanced level of developer support, specifically intended for clients who are developing their own stand-alone applications which will WRITE data into the database. Enterprise monthly fees are app

We will attempt to provide Omniture integration instructions to document configurations for other clients. At this time Zoovy does not have a strategic relationship with Omniture. This means we are not able to provide technical support on this feature. Zoovy recommends Google Analytics.

This document covers procedures to create new user, login, and get Order Manager setup for initial use on version 6.012 and above.

Issue: Supply Chain sends zoovy product id, instead of supplier sku.

SecurityMetrics is a PCI/DSS compliance scan vendor who is heavily promoted by a variety of merchant banks. Unfortunately Zoovy does not work with security metrics. SecurityMetrics is not aware of the specific counter measures that we have installed. In the past when we attempted to outreach to them it lead to a major communication breakdown with their company. We take offense when somebody says our system is insecure, especially without proof. Their position was that any connection of SSLv1 was insecure, and our position was that SSLv1 connections should be "allowed" but not be able to transmit any secure data. The whole debate was somewhat ludicrous. Here's the theoretical problem: when you

As of April 22nd 2007, Hackersafe is the only recommended 3rd party security scanning solution. Hackersafe's PCI program is described on their website here: http://www.scanalert.com/site/en/pci/intro/ For more information please read the section below. Several 3rd party security scanners claim Zoovy supports SSL 2.0 -- what exactly are they complaining about? I just want to clarify -- Zoovy webservers support SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 -- Any browser which supports higher grade protocols will automatically use SSLv3 or TLSv1 -- so only people which don't support SSLv3 or TLSv1 will use SSLv2. To summarize: If nobody uses SSL 2.0 - then why do they care? See the problem is that people who do not have SSLv3.0/TLS will NOT be able to connect to your site, it will result in some obscure error

Mporia.com is a provider of m-commerce websites. Their application costs approximately $39/mo. Zoovy does not offer support for mporia, we have evaluated their offering and have absolutely no plans to offer support for mporia. A big component of this decision is that mporia performed a test with secondact.com and then subsequently developed a "case study" describing the integration.

Questions & Answers from tickets We have two kinds of specialty sites we'd like to do. One, sites aimed at certain demographics, is right in line with what you've designed specialty sites to do. The other is a wholesale-only site, accessable only to registered customers with a certain wholesale price level. You don't appear to have to ability to specify checkout/access settings per specialty site, or to verify for a certain price schedule before allowing access though. For both types of specialty sites, I've got some questions about how the categories/navigation would work. If I create a Wallet Chain specialty site, and set our Wallet Chain category as its root, will visitors only be able to see subcategories under that category? What if I want to give our specialty site a different navigation organization to match the preferences of the target audience? Some of the categories we may want to be identical in co

With the Zoovy Order Manager you can easily create invoices from incomplete sales made on portals like eBay or Yahoo Auctions. The functionality of the invoice create feature mirrors that found on the website manager. This feature stemmed from merchants who needed to easily turn incomplete sales to valid orders when their customers decided not to use Zoovy's checkout system. Accessing the Creating Invoice tool is done from several different areas. Clicking the Incomplete tab will enable the Invoice icon found on the top of the screen. Click this icon to begin the process. You may also right click an incomplete sale and select Create Invoice from the pop-up box. Lastly, the Create Invoice tool can be accessed from the incomplete order search tool. When an incomplete order is found, simply click the invoice icon. There are several

To setup credit cards, you must enable a payment gateway, or tell Zoovy that you will be manually processing credit cards. For information on getting a merchant account, or applying for a payment gateway see the credit card guide in the guides section. If you are using a terminal, or a non-compatible gateway then you will need to configure your Zoovy store to perform manual capture. With manual capture Zoovy will perform a simply mod-10 checksum on the card to ensure the card number is valid, and also that the expiration date is in the future. If necessary Zoovy can also capture the CVV/CID number as part of the checkout process. Customers who intend to perform high volumes of transactions should absolutely plan on having a compatible gateway. For more information on setting up gateways please read: [[SECTION]Using Zoovy to Manually Process

There is a feature called "LotSize" which we don't currently support in the interface -- because it's only relevant for "wholesale" categories. The field "ebay:lotsize" in the product controls this. Item.*LotSize* int Optional A lot is a set of two or more similar items that must be purchased together in a single transaction. A listing can have multiple lots (instead of multiple items). When LotSize is specified, the listing price reflects the price of each lot (not each item within the lot). In this case, Quantity indicates the number of lots being listed, and LotSize indicates the number of items in each lot. (If a listing has no lots, Quantity indicates the number of separate items being

I started updating (refreshing) some of my existing listings and this is the error message I got: Error[#12305]: The flag ThirdPartyCheckout for this item is on. ThirdPartyCheckout is incompatible with Live Auctions, Ad format, Merchant Tool, Motors, and Immediate payment, however. Revise/Relist item failed. I ran the Default profile and refeshed all items with that profile using: UTILITIES > EBAY ACCOUNT SETUP > PROFILES > REFRESH LISTINGS. I let the system do them all. About 30% Changed and about 70% I got that error message on. This is probably because you've turned on auto-pay in your profile since those listings were created.

The cart page can be customized just like any other page on the site. It has a special element which is of course the "CART" element. Cross selling can be accomplished by adding items to your checkout page. There are a variety of ways to do this, the easiest is to simply add your most popular products to the shopping cart page, however you can also configure your store to display related products (if you have the XSELL bundle). To configure related products you must go to a product (on the website) and click the related products button. Zoovy can also automatically relate products which are in similar categories. Click on the setup tab Click on the site builder link Click 'edit' next to the cart page of the profile you wis

A second chance offer is a feature for a Chinese eBay listing that lets you offer the same item to the losing bidders. According to eBay rules the second chance offer is not compatible with Dutch Listings, Fixed Price, Stores, Buy It Now (when the Buy It Now feature is used), or eBay Motors. Zoovy's Auto-Second Chance feature lets you automatically send second chance offers good for 7 days to the losing bidder(s), provided that you have inventory available, AND that the maximum bid for an item is above the price you have set as the Minimum Auto-Second Chance offer.

The Warehouse Manager Desktop Client allows customers to easily add/remove products from navigation categories and lists that are used on their website. You can build your website navigation in Warehouse Manager. Select a webstore category under "Your Website" and right-click on it. Select "Add Website Category." An interface will appear that will allow you to input the category name. Give it a name and click on "OK."

The warehouse manager desktop client runs in a standalone inventory configuration. It provides the ability to update inventory quantities. You can update and revise your inventory On Shelf Quantity and Location fields in Zoovy Warehouse Manager by clicking on the Inventory tab usually located at the bottom left. Click on the Sync button to send your updated numbers to your Zoovy online products database.

The warehouse manager downloads a copy of your product database. It is an easy and convenient way of modifying your products database offline. It creates a webpage for option management. If you have not sync'd in the past 24 hours, ZWM will prompt you to sync upon logging in. This is to prevent you from inadvertently corrupting your product database. We recommend that you sync every time prompted by the software unless you have a specific reason not to. When you click on the Products button (lower left) you should see a list of your products. You can use the search box to limit the products that are displayed. You can sort your products by clicking the tabs at the top. You can even drag and re-order these tabs to your preference. You can use the Zoovy Warehouse Manager product edit

If you are interested in using Zoovy Warehouse Manager (ZWM), you are required to add the Warehouse Manager bundle. You can do this by going to your Online Zoovy account, and go to Setup | Account Settings | Add/Remove Feature. If you are interested in installing ZWM on multiple computers, you will be required to purchase multiple seats, as well. If you are not familiar with setting up shared drives, please do not hesitate to schedule a training appointment with your Zoovy Trainer. NOTE: If Merchants plan to use ZWM on multiple computers, the Network setup is required. This involves creating a shared drive location, so that the Product Database is shared. Synchronization will only be permitted from the Primary computer. If Merchants install ZWM on multiple standalone computers, Zoovy will not support any errors/conflict/issues that may arise!

We want a dropdown on the homepage of our domain.com. The dropdown will have a list of all the other websites we own. The customer can select any site from the dropdown and then they will be taken to that website. How can this be achieved? If not achievable then whats the alternative so that we can market all our websites on the home page. Hello, There is no specific piece of Zoovy functionality that will accomplish this. You'll need to code the select list manually. Make sure you use the proper linking syntax so that your customers 'cart' travels with them and the shop between stores. If you would like Zoovy to set this up for you, please provide a list of all the stores you would like the select list to display. It will take appro

Order's going through Paypal have incorrect shipping amount (does not match invoice). This is *NOT* a Zoovy issue. This is a *PAYPAL* issue. We recommend customers contact Paypal's support group regarding this issue. (We hope that *SOMEDAY* Paypal might actually correct it if they get enough merchants who are confused by it.) Zoovy support staff will not be able to correct this issue without you providing your Paypal login and password. The sellers Paypal account is incorrectly configured to add shipping to every order, even though Zoovy CORRECTLY passes the shipping to Paypal. This is ridiculously easy to do since eBay helps sellers configure this. The di

Have had a couple of calls. - customers say the search runs and runs then redraws the front page without any search results. One user was in North Carolina using firefox. I cannot create here but user said any and all search terms did this. Gloves, tape, hats etc. The search box evolution gives you never comes up. The 'recent searches' portion doesn't update either. If your customers have Javascript disabled (Firefox: Tools: Options: Content: Enable Javascript), the evolution search does not work as intended. Our developer is going to change the wrapper so it messages your customers to this affect. Evolution and our other ajax themes rely heavily on javascript. When I built them, I did not d

We had an order placed and the customer did not receive the "Free Shipping" promotion. We have have a free shipping promo going on and this is the first that had a problem. Looked at order. Created same order in cart. Put in Zip code Saw free shipping method (default), and another option "Shipping $10.99" was also available. Right off the bat - there are two ways I think this could have happened: 1. your shipping promotion does not disable the 10.99 shipping - so the customer can still select it. 2. if the customer had selected shipping PRIOR to the promotion, and came back and proceeded through checkout (or re-ordered from a previous order that did not have free shipping)

We are in the process of implementing google checkout for our website sales. In testing this system I notice TWO order confirmations are sent to the customer. One from Zoovy, and one from Google. The google checkout Terms of Service mentions the following. "f. Do not send order confirmation emails To provide a consistent shopping experience, Google will send order confirmation emails to buyers making purchases with Google Checkout. We strongly recommend that you reduce the number of redundant emails your buyers receive by not sending your own order confirmation emails." Question: Is there a way to stop the duplicate order confirmation from Zoovy when a customer uses Google Checkout as the payment method? Other than that, we are ready to implement it.

This document is intended to describe the various integration possibilities with Zoovy. Please understand, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive list, rather this is a cookbook of recipes based on existing system capabilities and based on our experience doing these types of projects. Just because "you can" doesn't mean "you should". Many of the recipes in this document can significantly harm a business by impacting it's ability to adapt quickly to change or to inexpensively try new initiatives. We are appalled by the multitude of disreputable companies in the e-commerce space who routinely tell clients these integrations are "easy" and do not properly inform them of the risks and downsides associated with the integration ahead of time. Zoovy provides a list of "Known issues" ahead of time, this are not necessarily specific to Zoovy, bu

Order combination lets you take an order, and combine it with one or more other orders.

I have been using powerlister in fixed auctions. But I am listing 2 or more items per listing. Somehow the other the powerlister is not performing correctly. Also in few other examples which i do not have the number right now it went ahead and still listed 2 items per auction when I was left with only 1. I was hoping it would stop launching auctions if the quantity of the item listed is more then inventory. However it did not. If you can make it work in a way that it only lists what is available instead of listing what was originally entered. Like if it was suppose to list 2 of the items but the inventory only has 1, it will list only 1. this would be a great feature. All powerlister features assume a quantity of 1. The inventory behaviors behave as

How do we specify what category page the customer gets taken to after he clicks on the "shop more" button? The "shop more" or on some sites also called the "continue shopping" button/link, destination isn't configurable. The behavior of that button/link is to take the customer back to the last category page that they visited.

Zoovy has several cross-selling tools to enhance your business. Related products (and Accessories) can be called into pages to show other items that your customers might be interested in. Don't forget to do some upsell on your Shopping Cart page. Some page layouts have a product listing box called "Best Sellers", "Recently Added", or something similar. It is often a good idea to use a list with a similar name and associate this list to the product listing box. Then you can add and subtract from this list as needed without going in and modifying every page with a Best Sellers box.

One of the first things that you are going to want to do is create your products. You cannot run an online store without something to sell.

You will need to keep your Product ID below this limit. In some reports throughout Zoovy, the only indication of a product is by the Product ID.

I no longer want the ebay bundle. I tried to remove it but it removed my ability to accept Paypal. Paypal is the most widely used payment method on the Internet and not just for ebay auctions. Why do I have to pay for an auction bundle, which I don't need just to accept Paypal? Paypal Express Checkout (not Paypal IPN) is included for free with all accounts - and that is what is included with most other e-commerce solutions these days. I would recommend you schedule some implementation time to convert your account to express checkout. Supporting Paypal IPN and all of it's various ways of sending and receiving money requires significantly more technical support than a standard merchant account. We s

Issue: Problem refreshing items see noted errors Error[#1]: eBay title not set, or autopilot wasn't running. I am getting this error now on my refresh on the default profile. Can you tell me what this means? It means you don't have the autopilot feature enabled in eBay syndication. The error is generated because you didn't implicitly configure an ebay title for your product and so the system won't "guess" and try and use the product name unless the auto-pilot feature is turned on.

I have used the Product Detailed Description: field for awhile now. The information I put in this field has always been sent to amazon and to my ebay listings. It would be better if it did not go to amazon. With eBay, the html wizard (template) determines which fields are "compiled" into the description - so a custom html wizard would solve this. With Amazon - the product detailed description is actually a standard field - and is definitely syndicated to Amazon.

The buyer has paid sales tax but its not reflected in the order. The product that was purchased is not flagged as taxable in Zoovy.

Unlike Handling the Shipping Insurance feature allows you to prompt the customer to optionally purchase insurance. Insurance can be computed in a variety of ways including based on the weight, the total price, the total weight, or based on a flat fee per item. Insurance is calculated independently of the shipping method (Zoovy assumes that the shipping methods being offered do not include insurance) The rest of this feature is very self explanatory. Insurance fees can be in one of the following states: Not Used/Disabled. Included as part of the shipping total. Displays as it's own line item under shipping. In addition you may choose to make insurance either optional or mandatory. If you use the Paypal Instant Payment button on the checout you must have your i

Handling fees for orders can be configured to be included as part of the shipping total or displays as it's own line item under shipping. *NOTE: If you combine handling as part of shipping - it cannot be reported on separately and may affect some aspects of reporting. Handling fees are applied to all shipping methods after the rules based shipping calculation. Handling fees are typically used to cover the packaging expenses and/or labor involved in assembling an order. You may enable as many handling calculations as you like, all methods will be summed together to arrive at the final handling total.

The Amazon Thesaurus Profile is a feature of the Zoovy Platform that makes it easy to create and maintain relations between a merchants own products/categories and Amazons own Item Classification Thesaurus. You must use the terms found in Amazon's Online Classification Guide in order to successfully configure your Thesaurus. When dealing with Amazon it is critical to make sure your products appear in all relevant searches on the Amazon site. Amazon maps user search terms to a unified "thesaurus" of words so that you don't have to specify every possible keyword a person could search for, instead you simply have to pick the appropriate words from amazon's thesaurus and set those for each product you add to Amazon. Amazon then maps every single possible word a user could search for to a specific thesaurus word. As you might imagi

The site publisher functionality allows a Zoovy site owner to dictate when changes they have made to their site are visible to the public. Zoovy employs a sophisticated cluster architecture which allows a single website to be served by multiple webservers in multiple geographically diverse locations at the same time. Site Publisher allows a site owner to create a "snapshot" of their site, along with all configuration settings to a "package database" which is distributed and stored locally on each of the servers. This not only increases the reliability of the site dramatically, it also increases the speed (because data is served off local hard disks) and at the same time reduces the overall demand on the Zoovy backend. Publishing typically takes 5-10 minutes before sites are visible on the live production servers.

I'm sorry - but our servers don't run PHP, and even if they did you can't upload your own programs because they could take down our servers and/or violate security policies we have in place.

Issue #160454: The item cannot be listed or modified. The title and/or description may contain improper words, or the listing or seller may be in violation of eBay policy. I have not changed a thing. All of a sudden they are not being uploaded. I don't know of any violations that I have done since they all worked in the past. The error you are getting is one that ebay is returning directly to Zoovy because of the "data" being sent. Zoovy sends a variety of data to ebay such as title, description, and attributes. Ebay, in it's infinite wisdom, takes all the field data (like product name and description) and jams it all together pulling out punctuation, spaced, formatting, returns, ect. Basic

Why is and extra $6 being added to these orders? I'm having to refund the customer every time this happens.

While in the neighborhood you should also consider enabling the Paypal Express Checkout and disable the Paypal Legacy checkout - which offers a dramatically better customer experience. I've done some more digging, and it seems that the invoices that are affected are those orders done from our website and paid with paypal. It doesn't seem to be affecting eBay orders.

WikiText is the easiest way to maintain formatting and consistency across a vast number of authors and documents. Using WikiText instead of HTML insures that all text will seamlessly adhere to formatting requirements for marketplaces, syndication feeds, and templates thereby ensuring the most professional presentation. When compared to HTML you'll find WikiText is also considerably easier to learn, easier to read/edit, and guaranteed to avoid all the known issues surrounding embedded HTML tags. Possibly one of the most impressive properties of wikitext is that e

The ebay auction is configured to require an international customer to pay for insurance. In this auction the customer agreed to pay the required shipping of $3.00 for an order total of $42.99. In zoovy the order is paid and there is no mention of the insurance. The customer only paid $39.99 which excludes the insurance. Ebay is displaying the shipping options correctly to the customers but the data did not come back to zoovy so therefore the customer did not pay the correct amount. So basically what's going on here is that the Zoovy insurance settings don't match the eBay settings. The field in the profile: ebay:ship_insuranceoption can be set to either "None" "Optional" or "Required". Zoovy can calcu

They tell us that the name of our default page (homepage.cgis) is not a good default name for a home page as outlined in their comments below (after my note). They are asking if we can create a separate .htm page outside of the normal Zoovy structure that is a copy of our home page, but optimized for search engines. They would name this something like default.htm or the like. I am certain this is not permitted in the zoovy system, but wanted to just ask the question. Also I don't know what your stance is on the naming of the home page and why the filename "homepage.cgis" was chosen, but if this information is helpful I want you to have it. In addition, they are saying that because of our limited ability to affect the c

I went to Zoovy to try and search for the following items: Zoovy Product #: "ST3400633A_USED" Search Terms Used: "Seagate 400 GB", "Seagate IDE 400 GB","B000H3CI1E" Zoovy Product #: "ST94011A_REF" Search Terms Used: "Seagate 40 GB", "Seagate IDE 40 GB","B000FL8U1U" Using the search terms listed above, I could not find these products through Zoovy search. The normal search is a substring search, not a keyword search - which means that you must type the text as it appears. If the Title is "USED 40 GB SEAGATE ST3400633A" then "40 GB Seagate" - works but "Seagate 40" does not... but you can also search for parts of a model number e.g. if the model # is ST3400633A and that is in the title then you can search for 633A and it will come up.

Issue: Google Checkout Question Platform: na Topic: other In the webdoc about google checkout, it states that "You've provided your public business website URL, and this URL exactly matches the registered URL in your Google Base account." does this url mean the sjpacific.zoovy.com URL? because I have another URL that more accurately reflects my business and the number of specialty websites that we have, and it is www.ezonlinedeals.com. Can I specify this url instead? Please advise. thanks Sorry if it is confusing hopefully I can shed some light. "public business website URL" is the "domain.com" address you use for your website. Most customers do not use "user.zoovy.com" as their public website.

I'm trying to play around with our data. (In a duplicate of our database, not the live one.) I need to sort stuff into months, but I don't know how to convert your timestamp and created numbers into a date. I know I can go by the invoice number, but many times an invoice won't actually be paid for in the same month it was originally created. Converting the Epoch time in Microsoft access can be very difficult. You might find it easier with Enterprise - because MySQL has a "from_unixtime" function which can be run against the database.

Issue: Product Export Generating Return Characters Recently, the product Export function has been exporting any return characters that may exist within the product data fields. This looks to be an unannounced change from the earlier function, but I do not know how to import this into Excel now. When a product contains the return character, subsequent lines are in the wrong columns which would cause product corruption if it were to be re-imported. Even if I were to attempt to remove the return characters manually (which also disables WIKI), the ebay:attributeset field is still coming in with returns. I am actually not sure if the change happened in the Zoovy export function or if it was my upgrade to Office 2007 about a month ago, but it's only this week that I've observed the issue.

There is always a lot of misinformation regarding new technology. Often times people are speaking authoritatively about subjects they don't really understand, or worse you've got a person who understands it speaking to an audience which lacks the requisite level of background to really understand the issues. I'll attempt to clarify: AJAX is a acronym which describes an entire suite of technology, that are available via well over 250 different programming frameworks, each having it's own code patterns, etc. - so right off the bat that doesn't make AJAX search engine friendly, OR un-friendly - because it's all about the implementation of those technologies. Because AJAX requires Javascript, or Flash (or both in some cases) to implement it's functionality - and search engines have a hard tim

I have updated as an image on my site. How long will it take for this image to propagate across all of your servers? To me these show as 2 different images: http://static.zoovy.com/merchant/xxx/checkout.jpg https://static.zoovy.com/merchant/xxx/checkout.jpg They show as the same to me. You might try shift refreshing, or possibly changing the image name. The caching servers shouldn't hold cache through a SHIFT -Refresh Zoovy returns HTTP headers that state the images will *never* change, we do this for Search Engine Optimization reasons, and have no intention of changing it - so don't ask. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS RENAME YOUR IMAGES IF POSSIBLE! Several larger (and smaller) ISP's now implement their own transparent caches which igno

I want to have a Secure order form, where do I go from here? I need some sort of logos or something showing them that the page is secure when they are ready to checkout, it seems to NOT do that now. well I just reviewed it again, I do have logo's etc. but at the bottom it shows a CROSSED-OUT lock, then I highlight that and it says something like "warning unauthorized content" This is because you failed to properly follow the instructions when implementing Google Analytics. ANALYTICS DOCUMENTATION: Referencing ANY non-secure javascript include tags will make your checkout insecure. We recommend having Zoovy Implementation assist with the integration of ANY 3rd party javascript.

Its an issue with my international ebay buyers not being able to see a shipping rate. Which is costing me business daily. was the initial alert..... check any of my ebay auctions. If you change your location to Australia or Ireland etc....cannot see a rate. That calculator is an ebay calculator that they control when you setup your profile to use calculated rate shipping methods. Zoovy doesn't control anything about that calculator. That being said, you are correct that for some reason ebay's calculator isn't returning a value for some countries. Unfortunately I can't tell you why. You could certa

xCBL is a common platform neutral format that zoovy can export order data into. xCBL is used by a variety of EDI gateway systems such as eBridgeSoft.com ] When xCBL orders are dispatched to an HTTP or HTTPS (recommended) URL then the payload is transferred in the "Contents" field. Effectively the same as if the following code was posting it: & lt;form action="" method="POST"& gt; & lt;textarea name="Contents"& gt;xcbl payload goes here& lt;/textarea& gt; & lt;/form& gt; & lt;Order xmlns:core="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v4_0/core/core.xsd" xmlns="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v4_0/ordermanagement/v1_0/ordermanagement.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="rrn:org.xcbl:schemas/xcbl/v4_0/ordermanagement/v1_0/ordermanagement.xsd ../schema/org/xcbl/path_delim/schemas/xcbl/v4_0/ordermanagemen

The following document is intended as a guide to assist Zoovy in recommending a fulfillment center for our BPP participants. Zoovy has a variety of companies that we have encountered and worked with. This questionnaire helps us select only the most relevant fulfillment centers which meet our clients needs, and also give us a framework for discussing alternatives. By selecting a "best match" based on your criteria Zoovy will be in a position to help ensure a successful deployment. Not all fulfillment centers are created equal, in fact we haven't found two that are even remotely similar. Zoovy has existing integrations with several dozen fulfillment centers. Let us leverage our relationships with these companies to make sure you get the best deal possible. What is your primar

I want to use Product Power Tool to change the eBay Store categories on groups of listings. There are 2 eBay Store categories allowed for each listing, but my Custom Attribute list offers only one. How do I change the second one? CSV export doesn't seem to help as I have nothing in a second category, so the name for that second category doesn't export. I couldn't find any reference in WebDoc. The attribute for eBay category 2 is ebay:category2. If you need further assistance, or if you need more information on using the Product Power Tool, please schedule and Implementation Session.

PriceGrabber.com is one of the leading online comparison shopping marketplaces. PriceGrabber has two business models: CPC - Cost per click (you pay for each click generated to your website). Storefront - they charge a final value fee similar to Half.com when an item sells. (At this point, only CPCs are supported.) Zoovy has arranged an exclusive introductory offer with PriceGrabber that let's Zoovy merchants sign up for only $25 deposit (rather than the usual $50). To benefit from this offer Zoovy merchants must use the following link to set up their PriceGrabber account... https://partner.pricegrabber.com

The order history in the customer portal is what a client see's when they login to a hosted store. It displays order history so customers can track their order history. In order for this to work, customers must have an account on the website. Merchant received this: Hello, my order history is not operational; this order is not showing. The customer either created their account after placing the order and/or used a different email address to create their account - so the order is not associated with the account. If you are experiencing this issue, check for the solutions above - then please be sure to include the order # in the ticket.

Issue: Google Analytics Warning: Paths to Don't Match Platform: na I got a warning from Google about my URL for my blog subdomain "blog.mydomain.com". Where is this error coming from? Where is the URL listed (www.blog.mydomain.com) being created? Does Zoovy automatically submit or create sitemaps? For Search Engine Optimization reasons - Zoovy automatically prepends a www. to all domains presented to google. This is because you setup your sitemap on Google to point at simply blog.mydomain.com rather than www.blog.mydomain.com -- change the sitemap url in your Google Analytics to have a www in the front. (this is probably due to the change with www. you requested)

Zoovy supports all popular FedEx services. There's not a lot of configuration that can go on except for the handling charge. The handling charge can be either a fixed price like $1.00 or a variable +%10, which would add ten percent to the quoted shipping rates. Some people use the handling charge to accommodate the weight of the boxes and packing materials, others use it to cover both supplies and employee time. If you need to add an insurance fee, or other charge based on the total of the order then use global tuning in conjunction with FedEx shipping. To link FedEx shipping on your Zoovy Merchant web site to your FedEx account, enter the account number here. If you do not have a shipping account with FedEx, you will need to contact them at http://www.fedex.com/.

Register domain. 3. Configure domain. It is very important that you complete each step and complete them in the proper order. Did you fill out your Company Information completely?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of auctioning your items internationally? You may be worried about the money conversion rates, shipping, payment, or communicating with the bidders. The positive thing about auctioning internationally is that you have the opportunity to bring even more people to your Zoovy store. Once your Zoovy store has been setup to accept international customers, you can tap into a brand new market at minimal cost. If you decide to accept international orders, clearly indicate payments in the form of money orders, cash, or checks must be in U.S. dollars or your country's standard currency. If you fail to state this, you may have to convert the money into another form of currency and pay the

The SOG import utility found under Setup > Data Import Utility can be used to transfer Store Option Groups from one account to another. It is very unusual to need to do a SOG import. Make sure you do not really want to do a product import before trying a SOG import. This is feature should be used with extreme caution. It was never intended for customer use. Please contact technical support before attempting a SOG import on your own. Backup your existing store option group by viewing the XML file and saving it. Browse to the XML file you intend to use. Upload the XML file.

This is a training on the simple but elegant order processing in Zoovy. All orders appear in the Recent tab first. Think of it as a checklist of things you need to take care of (e.g., ship, collect money, etc). This is where you want most of your orders to end up. It means the order has been paid for and shipped. This is the other final resting spot for orders. It means that the order will never be paid and never be shipped. Zoovy does not charge you for orders moved to Canceled. These are two optional statuses for the steps that you take to get an order shipped and paid.

Zoovy supports the Paypal Payflow Pro gateway (formerly Verisign Payflow Pro). Zoovy does not support Payflow Link. The management interface is located at https://manager.paypal.com 4 Pieces of information are required: Username & Password is the username and password you use to login to the management interface. Partner: This is typically either "verisign" or "wfb" (Wells Fargo Bank) Vendor: Vendor is generally set to the same as the Username field. Paypal Payflow Pro allows restricting of requests to allowed IP addresses. The IP addresses that Zoovy utilizes for outbound requests are: 208.74.184.51 66.240.244.211 ] These IP addresses may change in the future - without notice.

If you are under 10% of your product or disk space allotment then you will get a charge for $0.01 on your bill with a warning that you should either delete some products/images or you will be billed the following month.

The first 1000 products and 100mb are included with all accounts. NOTE: You do not pay any disk space fees provided your base fees are less than your 2% final value fee.

This API provides a quick and easy way to add customers to the mailing list. It is designed to be transparently called by another CGI or Flash element because it returns XML rather than HTML. For an HTML version simply use the http://merchant.zoovy.com/subscribe.cgis form. merchant - the zoovy username fullname - the fullname of the person subscribing e.g. "John Doe" email - the email address of the person subscribing. All responses are sent back in XML as follows: & lt;?xml version="1.0"?& gt; & lt;subscribe& gt; .. contents .. & lt;/subscribe& gt; The contents will either be an & lt;error& gt; tag containing an error message, or a & lt;success& gt; tag containing a successful response.

Channels are a type of data communication that allows information from your Zoovy store to be securely transmitted to a marketplace. A marketplace is a website where commerce is performed, or a service is rendered. By creating a channel to a marketplace you are giving the marketplace permission to create one or more incomplete sales in your store. Incomplete sales are special types of products that have a designated purchaser (such as an auction winner) and a unique price (such as a high bid). By creating a channel to a marketplace you also agree to pay the marketplaces fee structure, and abide by their acceptable use policy. The goal of the channel system is to provide a common interface for managing many types of listings (not just auctions). By understanding channel management you can quickly take advantage of new marketplaces as they come online without needing to learn a new interface. E

This feature allows you to complete your Amazon orders and track your inventory in the same central location that you use to complete orders from EBay or any other Zoovy supported marketplace, including your webstore. Zoovy makes it easy to comply with Amazon's charge when shipped policy. By printing your postage in Zoovy Order Manager, your tracking is automatically populated into your order. That information is then transported into your Seller Central account, letting Amazon know that the order has been shipped and therefore you are paid. Amazon is one of our strongest marketplaces at this time. The transaction takes place on Amazon. This means that shipping and payment is configured not in Zoovy but in Amazon. The shipping rules that you configure in your Zoovy account will not affect your

Hello, I just wanted to take a second and thank all the customers who have been so incredibly supportive with all the recent system updates - your feedback is highly appreciated, especially the "warm fuzzies" we've received all morning. You know it's important to realize that a lot of things have been changing over here at Zoovy in the past year. Probably the most notable event was in January where David Steel our former CEO decided it was time to pursue other opportunities. David and I founded the company back in 2000.

StoneEdge Order Manager is a competitor to the Zoovy Order Manager. This document is intended to provide a line by line comparison for discussion between the two systems. Zoovy does not support integration with StoneEdge Order Manager. Zoovy provides a free, and in many ways superior desktop client entitled Zoovy Order Manager. The cost of maintaining StoneEdge support - considering the extremely limited number of users that would utilize it's features makes it infeasible. Zoovy has never installed, downloaded, or otherwise compared our software. We prefer to add features based on our customer's requests, not line by line comparisons of what our competitors are doing. StoneEdge is limited because it needs to accomodate the limitations of many different e-commerce platforms. It's sort of like the difference between getting a do-it-yo

Zoovy does not currently provide full services for non-US based businesses. We continue to see limited demand in that area, and now accept International clients who agree to specific provisions. Zoovy may NEVER add International support, both the upfront and ongoing costs of Internationalizing a product as robust as Zoovy is substantial, it also hampers future development thereby making our current customer base less competitive. Non-US based businesses should be aware of the limitations described within this document. At this time Zoovy only supports US Dollars as currency as a standard feature. However limited deployment of displaying foreign currency rates is now available, and is available on a limited basis (requires custom product, category & cart pages). Within the Zoovy platform all computations

By outsourcing your email you can focus on your core business and rid your company of the expense associated with having your email in house. Using a business class email service offers features and functionality not available in non-commercial email platforms, in addition to an overall increased level of professionalism, anti-virus and spam protection. The platform Zoovymail is built upon (called Fusemail) has a 99.999% uptime guarantee. FuseMail takes many precautions to insure service continuance including world-class physical co-location in Ashburn, VA, server farm redundancy via multiple load balanced traffic, and a support staff monitoring all aspects of the service 24 x 7 x 365 days a year. Zoovy selected the Fusemail platform to provide busines

SpecL – Specification Language (pronounced “Speckle”) The purpose of the SpecL is at it's core to conditionally load, format and immediately display dynamic variables inside HTML. List Specifications or “Specs” for short are used within the Zoovy platform anytime where data must be iterated (looped) through. The original version of this syntax was based on a variable interpolation engine which grew organically and as such became very complex, difficult to manage, and it's performance eventually suffered. Some of the idiosyncrasies of SpecL reflect it's humble beginnings and the limitations of it's predecessors. Specifically certain behaviors have been preserved in SpecL to maintain backward compatibility, not because they necessarily make sense. For readability the SpecL syntax is designed to be familiar to users of javascript, php, asp, or perl. However SpecL is not related to any of those languag

A Finder is a predefined set of search parameters which will allow your customers to easily find what they're looking for. For instance, a dropdown list of 'genres' to help your customer find what toy they're looking for. Or checkboxes of 'colors' to allow them to find clothing of a specific color. Finders can also contain multiple search parameters and types, such as clothing style as a dropdown and color as checkboxes. That way the customer can search for hats that are red, blue or khaki. A 'product finder' is different than a finder. A product finder is used in the Zoovy interface to allow merchants to find and select product to appear in a given list or category page. [SECTION[Adding a finder to your store]] In order to use a finder, you must be using a theme or layout t

Periodically you may see a feature in Zoovy (particularly in the backend web manager interface) with a note that looks something like this: This feature is currently EXPERIMENTAL - please do not use without consulting support. This is intended to tell you, the user, that this feature set is currently in a development phase and not intended for use at this time. It can also mean that it is in beta testing (either internal or external). If it is a feature that you would like to use, or be willing to beta test, you can always send Zoovy Tech Support a note to that purpose and we will inform you if we are taking names for beta testing of the feature. Implementing an experimental feature without express agreement of support can have serious consequences to your account. Quite often these are placed into the user interface for te

If the product does not have a duration set, then the profile setting will be used and the product attribute will be set with this duration and next time will use the ebay:duration product level attribute. If you want to determine which products have a current ebay:duration set, you can do an export of that field for all products in: Utilities > Product Export. For just a single product or few

Currently Zoovy is focused on supporting IE, Firefox/Mozilla, and Safari. We will add AOL support as a possible future enhancement request. This document refers to the Zoovy.com management user interface, NOT the websites produced by it. The compatibility of a website is determined by it's own HTML code and specific functionality (e.g. AJAX) - and can vary from site to site. Support for AOL becomes very difficult in many cases because they set their own rules and conventions. Many times these rules are different than those set by the largest market share browsers (IE and Firefox). In order to provide you with the best features for your web presence, we try to adapt the newest stable trends internet/browser functionality. Unfortu

Alexa (www.alexa.com) has a toolbar that some merchants find useful. This toolbar is not direct supported by Zoovy, not is Alexa a current partner. As such, any issues with their functionality falls under 3rd party integration and BPP policy. One of the main features of the Alexa toolbar is their "Info" button. This will display information such as contact name, address, phone number, email address, and site statistics for the web page currently being displayed. This information is pulled from InterNIC by Alexa. The problem is that usually your information will display with Zoovy's contact information, rather than your own. You can read more about it here: http://www.alexa.com/site/help/?index=22 To address the information that Alexa displays in that information area (as instructed in the url abo

BidPay is available under payment methods (Setup > Payment Methods > Special) as a payment type, however, we are unable to reconcile when you receive money. BidPay does not offer any sort of integration for companies like Zoovy (they only work with auction sites, not with e-commerce storefonts). Bidpay requires a large amount effort to reconcile payments manually, and will almost certainly hurt your sales.

The Batch Channel Launcher is used to create multiple EBay or OverStock listings at once. The Batch Channel Launcher is found under the Products tab, in the left column. It is a good idea to be comfortable with launching channels individually before you attempt to use the Batch Channel Launcher.

If a bidder has any questions that have not answered in your product's description, they can e-mail you for more information. To be as professional as possible, answer these questions in a prompt and formal manner. Not doing so will turn away interested bidders. Check your e-mail frequently during an auction to ensure that an individual has sufficient time to bid. You can add information to an item's description at anytime during an auction. So, if bidders seem to be asking the same questions about an item, you can add the answer to your description. If you are not getting the desired response or have changed your mind about selling an item, you can end an auction before the specified closing date. However, you must remove each person who has bid on the item, one at a time. Depending on the number of bids re

There are two ways to configure an affiliate tracking software in Zoovy. The first is to a use a third party software like Commission Junction, Yahoo / Overture, or virtually any third party provider. The second is to use the built in referrer tracking in Zoovy, and keep track of your own commissions. Any provider which allows you to electronically submit an order number, and amount should do the trick all these programs perform soft tracking, which typically involve placing some hidden code on the last page of checkout, in order to do this you'll need the WEB bundle on your account.

Quickbooks is the #1 small business accounting application. Zoovy is the only eBay Certified Developer who is also a Quickbooks premier partner. Zoovy was featured as a key application in the Intuit 2003 Developer conference. Zoovy offers full synchronization support for invoices, sales receipts, customers, inventory and products with Intuit Quickbooks. Simply load the Zoovy Order Manager and click "Synchronize". Zoovy will do the rest, including creating products and customers in your Quickbooks database. Zoovy uses the Quickbooks COM interface for versions 2002, 2003, and 2004, so there is no risk of data corruption (unlike a variety of other programs which use the non-supported and risky IIF method).

Products will remain in the shopping cart up to 30 days. Zoovy uses a combination of cookies, and server side rewrites and therefore does not require cookies, provided the wrapper is designed correctly. If you designed your own wrapper, or use any absolute links in your website design then your site will require cookies. Cookies are used to track customers carts as they move throughout a merchants site. When operating in a cookieless mode, Customers can purchase one item (or multiple incomplete [auction] items), without cookies and proceed through checkout without issue. They can also add any item which is on the shopping cart page, however if the customer does not have cookies they will not be able to purchase other items available throughout the website, unless it is all done from the cart page.

eBay Checkout Redirect is a new way for eBay Buyers to pay Zoovy sellers for their eBay items. With Checkout Redirect, after an eBay Auction, Fixed Price, Store Listing, or Second Chance listing is finalized and the buyer clicks the "Pay Now" button they are automatically transported to an eBay-ified version of the Zoovy checkout. This feature is automatically enabled for all 2.0 customers. We encourage you to watch the video presentation to see an example of how this feature appears to the consumer. When a buyer is paying via Checkout Redirect there is no need for them to provide their email address, the "Pay Now" functionality goes directly into the Zoovy checkout. If multiple products are won, then all non-checked out items will be merged into a single cart together. If one or more products has non-inventoriab

Each Zoovy site comes with a search, and search results page. Both pages can be edited using the website builder and can be customized per profile. Products which do not appear in any navigation categories will not appear in search results. This includes products that only appear in hidden categories. If you need to include a link to a promotional coupon on your website, then consider creating a hidden category, and using a buy me button to link to the product (since a buy me button doesn't actually put a product into a category) The products that appear on the Search Results page cannot currently be sorted.

Automated Behaviors can be configured in the Setup Area. Automated Behaviors lets you configure things like payment reminders which can be automatically sent to customers who have outstanding (unpaid) orders. Whenever you receive payment for an item, you should make sure you convert that customers order or incomplete sale to a paid status. Payment reminders are sent when either an incomplete item has not been purchased (which is technically a checkout reminder), or when a customer has gone through checkout and selected a payment method which requires that you manually set the order to paid when the payment is received (e.g. Checks or Money Orders). So there are really two types of payment reminders, one for orders and one for incomplete sales. To stop an automatic payment reminder for an incomplete sale you should login to the website, proceed t

In order for a store to operate properly it must have valid contact information. Zoovy automatically correlates your contact information and places it through out the store, auctions and emails so that your customers can easily reach you in the event they need to get a hold of you. As a reputable business, it is your responsibility to provide contact information when requested so that information can be shared with customers. It is important to remember that if you edit your company information in one place in the Zoovy interface, it will effect other areas of your store. Log into your account at www.zoovy.com. Click on the 'setup' tab. Click on the Site Builder link. For the profile you wish to modify, click on the edit link next to company information.

Zoovy will protected the integrity of your email account from 98% of all possible hackers tricks. However there are a small percentage of issues that might occur. However, if an issue arise we have matrix in place that will prevent spamming of your customers via your domain. An example of a what a hacker might try, would be something we call "probing the system". What this does is they will create a customer account and try to hide a message inside of a message. In addition they will modify the headers in the hidden message to deliver the message to a different address. Once they have created an account and get a confirmation that the message has been sent they will assume that they can use this domain to send spam of virus to a particular destination or email address. The hacker will usually wait unti

Examples are provided here as an introduction to see how this tool can be used. It is not possible to update ACTIVE channels (ACTIVE means already live/running on a marketplace) however if you use channel scheduler or eBay powerlister then your channels will be EXISTING, SCHEDULED, or HOLD - those can be updated until they are dispatched, at which time the channels will be ACTIVE. The procedure below is only for updating listings that are not yet live. Some channels (especially older powerlisters) may be left in the wrong state when they finish. Running the powertool can "reanimate" these dead channels, and often results in channels you may not want. Be sure to use the preview to verify that there are no channels which are going to be updated that shouldn't be. (Hint: look for old numbers out of sequence)

The goal of this project is to familiarize yourself with the in's and outs of the Zoovy user interface, creating sub-users, changing your password, and how to interact with Zoovy support, and review/update project status and make future decisions about the next implementation steps. This orientation should help you learn how to navigate the site and find where to go for information on various topics. 1. How will products be brought into the system and maintained? 2. Which, if any suppliers will be integrated? 3. How will shipping be calculated? 4. Are there any promotions which are required? 4. Will the customer need a new merchant account? 5. Which marketplaces will be used? (eBay, Amazon, other syndication)? 6. Setup related appointments (don't forget any custom work!) You can delete a product by log

You can do a realtime, or batch HTTP POST of order contents to a secure URL using order dispatch. You can export sales using the WebAPI, or by accessing the Access database used with Zoovy Order Manager. ODBC queries can be performed against the access database in Order Manager. You can access orders in an access database (which can then be exported to CSV format) by using the Zoovy Order Manager. You can also use the WebAPI to synchronize Zoovy to another remote database. Zoovy supports many database formats and data interchange methods. To configure order dispatch from one Zoovy store to another perform the following actions in the store you want to receive the orders: Setup your synchronization password from setup -> Yahoo Store Manage

When Zoovy processes a credit transaction, we receive a message from the gateway provider that will have various transaction codes and messages attached. Based on these messages, zoovy will then set the order to a certain status code (internal to zoovy), displaying a status message that coorespondes to this code. These can often be somewhat difficult to decipher. This document will try and address some of the more common codes. Every gateway has it's own set of messages and codes. As such, we'll place some of the more common ones here, separated by gateway type. This will be a "living list" and will be updated when possible. CODE: - Reason 123 - Response 3 Sample Display Message:

Product attribute "zoovy:html" is a legacy attribute that can cause unwanted display behaviors when launching eBay listings. This will only effect customers who were using the attribute prior to implementation of HTML Wizards and profiles for eBay listings. When a listing is sent to ebay, zoovy currently uses the HTML Wizard that is configured to the profile the product is using to determine what the layout will be for the listing. Prior to having HTML Wizards and profiles, we used an attribute called "zoovy:html" that would set the layout display behavior. As we have customers who have not yet switched over to the new HTML Wizard/profile configuration, we have not yet eliminated the use of the attribute fully. Issue comes into play on those customers who used to use zoovy:html to configure t

This feature in order manager lets you add and remove tracking numbers.

The UPS Legacy settings are for customers to had enabled UPS prior to Zoovy signing the UPS API agreement. The UPS API agreement stipulates that customers cannot display FedEx or UPS rates in checkout at the same time. UPS API also enables address validation and airbill printing.

This shipping method accepts two shipping prices per product. A first item shipping price, and a second item shipping price. On multi-item orders the first price is used for the item with the most expensive shipping price, and the second item price for all other items.

Legacy Fixed Shipping is no longer supported. If you have it enabled you may continue to use it. We recommend customers using this functionality contact Zoovy Support for assistance in migrating to another calculation method.

Weight based shipping can be used to specify your own custom rates for different shipping weights. Weight based shipping is often used in conjunction with shipping rules to handle either very light (e.g. First Class Postage) or very heavy (LTL -- Less than Load) type orders.

The Zoovy system supports all zone based USPS Postage rates. For more assistance in configuring this feature please contact Zoovy support.

Simple Shipping allows you to calculate the shipping amount based on the number of items in the order.

Price Based Shipping allows you to determine the shipping amount based on the price of the order. Using price based shipping provides an easy way for customers to determine what their shipping costs will be based on the total of their order.

Local Delivery and Customer Pickup shipping features allow you to specify ranges of zip codes and rates for local delivery, or customer pickup.

This tutorial covers "Advanced Shipping" in it we will discuss some techniques for designing and maintaining a customized shipping schedule. In reality shipping is probably one of the biggest pain in the necks you'll have to deal with, so if you can get through this the rest will be cake ;-). I should point out that you are not alone and you do not need to do this by yourself, in fact Zoovy provides e-commerce consulting through its fast track and technical support dept's with specialists who do this stuff all the time. Believe me having a Pro sit down for an hour and work through the specific issues for your products and simply give you a concise summary can in many cases save you tens if not hundreds of hours of frustration. So with all that having been said - enjoy! When configuring shipping we must always remind ourselves that while is important

Global tuning is a deprecated feature. Please use handling instead. Global tuning adds additional handling fees based on the weight of a product. Specifically Global Tuning is used to make final additions or subtractions to price that are applied to all available shipping methods. Global tuning is normally used to calculate additional handling fees, or other preferences which should be applied to all shipping methods. Global preferences are applied after the rules based shipping calculation. Global tuning allows two tables to be configured one for domestic, and one for international. Global tuning adds handling fees based on weight range within the specified value. For example, for orders up to 16 ounces we add $5.00. Keep in mind that anything over this value of 16 ounces will not add a handling fee.

A shipping API is a CGI (e.g. Perl/PHP) program which computes custom shipping. Shipping APIs are passed an XML representation of the current cart which then compute shipping based on a companies internal business logic, and output headers and data in a XML format. A shipping API may return one or more shipping methods, along with a price for each method. You can configure External Shipping by going to the Shipping link under the setup tab. There are two methods you can call our system, either in an XML-like mode which will post a single XML string to your CGI, or the much easier flat mode which will send each of the parameters as a separate entry as a CGI variable. Keep in mind that these will be presented as options for shipping in addition to any other shipping methods you have created in the Zoovy system. Shipping API

This document covers the current policy regarding the Authorize.net Secure Shopping Emblem/Seal At this time, there is no support for adding custom code to the sidebar, including the Authorizenet seal. You can accomplish buyer security and promote a safe buying experience for potential customers (the reason for adding the Authorize.net seal) by utilizing one of our current partners, BuySAFE. Since most online shoppers don't know who/what Authorizenet is, having their seal is less likely to accomplish that task. BuySAFE has established themselves in the auction community and has recently branched into the online store market. Shoppers are more likely to be familiar with BuySAFE, which will promote a safe buying experience, especially with the degree of integration that we offer for bonding transactions. You can find

Zoovy mail is a service provided to Zoovy merchants who do not have SMTP support through their ISP. AOL does not provide SMTP for their email accounts. This option should be considered as a last resort for merchants who just do not have the ability to send mail through their ISP's mail servers due to authentication or policy issues. Just contact your Account Executive for details on pricing and getting setup. Customers who receive spam complaints will be warned. Excessive spam complaints will result in cancellation of your Zoovy Mail account. Zoovy mail does not store POP mail on the server. All mail you wish to save must be saved or archived on your local hard drive. You can use a mail client such as Outlook or Eudora to download your mail. If you are experiencing "Send and Receiv

The system will track inventory for you automatically but what happens as a result of inventory tracking is up to you. Use this status if you will not be tracking inventory in Zoovy.

Navigation categories (navcats for short) are what make up the site "pages". Since all sites are really hierarchies which originate off a single homepage, we felt the category analogy makes more sense. Each navcat has a code which is associated with it, the code is a unique name assigned by the system using letters A-Z and 0-9. The navcat name is used in the URL for example the navigation category "Gourmet Soda" might have the navcat name "gourmetsoda". Navcat names are selected by the page building tool you are using, there is no naming standard. Navcats are always linked to at the url http://yourname.zoovy.com/category/navcatname The navcat pretty name is the name displayed to the user for example if the category was named "HOT DEALS!!!!!" the navcat name would probably be "hotdeals" whereas the pretty name is "HOT DEALS!!!!!"

The Product Export Tool allows you to export products to excel by going to Utilities | Product Export. In order to use this utility, the CSV Bundle is required and must be active on the Zoovy Account. This can be added by going to Setup | Account Settings | Add/Remove Features. Zoovy can export to Excel or CSV. Please note, due to a bug in Microsoft Excel 95, 2000, and Office XP versions, you should not attempt to do a CSV import of product data, if your products contain any HTML. When you are first starting to create new products, it is recommended that you completely create one product and populate as many fields necessary. This will include fields such as: Your Cost, Suggested Retail, Product Description and On Shelf Qty. When exporting the single product to an Excel or CSV formatted file, the Zoovy Heading

The claim page is where people are sent to pay for an auction. By default the claim page will use the page layout of the product that is associated with the incomplete item but unlike the product page the claim page will display the claim message at the top of the page before the page content begins. Configuration of the Claim Page can be found under Setup > Checkout Setup. The claim page is only displayed (by default) when it is necessary for the customer to choose options on an incomplete item in order to checkout. You can add custom instructions to the claim page by editing the claim page message in Setup / Site Automation. The claim page message is sort of a special greeting for visitors from auctions. You can set a custom page flow to be used for the product page through developer setting

You can get to the page editor by going to Setup / Website Builder - from there you will be able to edit your about us, shopping cart, gallery, return policy, privacy policy, and any other page you want to (including your category pages). The only pages on your site that you cannot edit directly from the website builder is the product pages, which are edited directly from the product itself in the online product editor. Detailed descriptions are descriptions that are NOT the same as your product description. Some of the standard page layouts include a detailed description, which can be different than your product description. This is especially useful if you want to have one thing which appears in your auctions, and another which appears on your site. Or if you want one thing to appear in your product list (e.g. a non-HTML version o

This document will give you some tips on training for the Checkout Setup screen. There are many choices to be made by the customer. Most of these choices will be self-evident by reading the screen but some of the more esoteric concepts are explained below. Customers with the WEB flag have significantly more options on the Checkout Setup screen than those without the WEB flag. If the customer does not have the WEB flag, the only option available here will be Website Name. Currently it is not possible only have certain pages on your site protected by the Adult warning.

Shipping is one of the most versatile parts of Zoovy and therefore often the most difficult to teach. Always talk to the customer and ensure that you understand what they want to do before you try to enable it in Zoovy. If a customer is currently selling online, ask them how they currently charge for shipping and try to reproduce this in Zoovy. If Fulfillment Latency is left blank it will default to "2 Days" on Amazon. Step 1 Step 2 This starts a new paragraph. Fixed Rate is one of the most common choices. It carries over to eBay easily but requires that the customer has some awareness of what he or she wants to charge for shipping. description of link desc

Zoovy supports a wide range of businesses and business models. Before you start setting up inventory, you must decide which type of inventory system is right for you. Businesses are classified by the type of inventory numbers they need to track: Actual, Reserved, Safety and Unlimited. Each are discussed below: Actual Inventory This is the simplest form of inventory. Actual inventory tracks the count on the shelf. If you have an effectively unlimited supply of product and you simply want to keep an accurate count of what you have, then you are using actual inventory. This is mostly used so you will know when to re-order and this method of inventory tracking is all you will need. Reserved Inventory The difference with actual inventory and reserved inventory is that actual inventory does not track items that are for sale on marketplaces like eBay. Reserved inventory takes the actual inventor

THIS FEATURE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED: Quickbooks 1999 - 2001 is no longer supported by Zoovy. Meaning that if you currently utilize versions Quickbooks 1999 - 2001 then you are welcome to use this feature AS IS. We have made our best effort to make it as a robust and userfriendly as possible. However if you experience errors no troubleshooting, consultative and/or bugfix support will be provided.

Click on Categories and Lists. On the following screen that appears, you will see your existing pages. Decide where you would like for your new page will appear. Underneath the category you want your new page to appear, you should see a "Add New" button. Click this and enter the name of the new page. Leave "Root Level Category" selected and click "Save."

This guide is primarily intended as reference material for Zoovy Technical support, but may also be useful to customers. Zoovy has hundreds of servers, each server is configured and assigned to handle one or more service. Zoovy breaks services into the following categories: Image "Static" servers: this group of servers is used to load site graphics, stock template graphics, navigation buttons, and other static files. Vstore servers: this group of servers is used to render a customers website. (These also used to host some site graphics, but now perform http 302 redirects for images to the static servers). SSL servers: this group of servers are what render a customers checkout and secure pages. WWW servers: this group of servers provide www.zoovy.com and the user interface Webapi: this is a modified version of the www ser

The API Bundle provides access to a REST XML API that gives access to the following things: Realtime Inventory: Order Dispatching: Shipping Quotes: Promotions: This functionality is very advanced, and is generally unavailable in all other products. Diagnosing any technical issues related to a store that has these tools enabled will always require escalation to a senior support team member, developer, or system administrator. For these reasons we have limited the availability of this featureset to only approved customers. This feature is available to new customers within the first 60 days of coming onto the system and to existing customers who meet the following criteria: Minimum Zoovy invoice of $250/mo. (If you do not meet this criteria, we can raise your monthly bill). This requirement is waived when Zoovy

Order splitting lets you take a single order, and split it in to two separate orders, which is a feature most commonly used for breaking apart invoices if certain items are not in stock so you can easily fulfill partial orders. To access Order Split: 1. right click on an order and select Split Order from the Context menu which appears 2. select and order and then click on Tools | Split Order NOTE: You must have more than one sku or product ID in the order to split it. Check the boxes next to the items you wish to move to the new order, then choose the appropriate method of handling shipping, and order date. When you are done click the "Split Order" button on the upper toolbar and the Order Manager will go to the website and allocate a new order id, as well as recompute shipping for one or both orde

Zoovy Enterprise allows Zoovy Merchant customers to scale to the next level of business by offering multi-user launching, and multi-user order management and CRM functionality. Zoovy Enterprise uses a local server to coordinate the business activities and offers centralized access control, and seamless synchronization with the Zoovy system. Enterprise also offers optional bar coding and an integrated wireless inventory system, that can assign/print barcodes, or use manufacturer UPC or ISBN's for storing and locating items in the warehouse. Zoovy began work on Enterprise in March of 2002, and released its first version in May of 2002. Based on customer feedback we went back to the drawing board and re-engineered the product and expect to re-release it in early 2007. Zoovy knows that in any business the single largest expense is employee time, Enterprise dramatically reduces

eBay provides insertion fee credits to sellers for items which did not sell. The policy is that eBay will refund the insertion credit on the first listing if the item sells when it is listed the second time. This only works when an item is relisted using the RelistItem form, rather than the AddItem form on the eBay.com website. In the past Zoovy has offered a feature called "Relist One Time" which caused a 7 day auction that did not sell to automatically relist for another 7 days. However this has caused significant trouble with the Channel Scheduler feature, which launches new listings at a time interval and cannot track if a listing sold or was relisted. The effect was that a merchant would always have too many of a poor selling item, or too few of a hot selling item. In addition if a seller forgot to revoke and/or remove a

The Worldpac functionality is no longer offered by Zoovy, all sites which integrated this technology have long since gone out of business and created virtually zero sales during their tenure. Despite the best of intentions we have found that Worldpac customers have experienced a much lower than anticipated level of success with the Worldpac platform. We will consider future Worldpac integrations on a case by case basis, although it is very likely we will not integrate this into future sites. Although there are many reason for this, we believe these outline the primary reasons for this decision: Too much competition, Worldpac pricing not competitive. Zoovy site wrapper and layouts must be "crippled" to be Worldpac compatible, this inevitably hurts sales of non-Worldpac products. Worldpac is not compatible with the built-in cross selling, search, or product option features of Zoovy, and fu

Zoovy will support limited access to the Enteprise Suite shared database. The normal install of Enteprise Suite uses a MySql database engine, which can be accessed via ODBC, or Visual Studio.NET in addition to a variety of open source languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, or Ruby. The database table structure between SOHO and Enterprise in versions 6.xxx are the same. So this is also a guide to the SOHO database, but in future versions of Order Manager the SOHO database will be encrypted and will not be accessible to third party developers. In addition customers/developers will need to verify their applications meet specific data accuracy requirements. The exact details of this program have not been finalized at this time, however we expect to have two application tiers: Read-Only, and Read-Write. Applications will be issued keys which will limit the access to the ta

This document discusses the integration of non-ZoovyMail email services and custom DNS configurations with the Zoovy platform. Zoovy heavily discourages and DOES NOT SUPPORT configurations that are not wholey owned and operated by us. Furthermore even if a non-supported configuration is working, we will make no assurances or warranties that it will continue to work in the future. This is due to the number of issues surrounding the sending/receiving of emails such as getting them through firewalls, spam filters, relays, and the associated tasks of configuring custom A, CNAME, MX, and SPF records. Logic: The Zoovy system is "massive" in terms of functionality. Zoovy cannot provide our support staff with adequte training/skills to troubleshoot the myraid of issues that can arise in complex DNS and Email configuration issues, in addition to the functionality/features of the Zoovy sy

Zoovy does not provide an interface to the Quickbooks Point of Sale platform. At this time no such integration is planned. There are a variety of reasons for this which are outlined below. The QBPOS system was acquired by Intuit as an acquisition, it was not developed in-house. While efforts have been taken to make it look and feel similar, there are still numerous incompatibilities between the two applications (even though both are made by Intuit). These incompatibilities such as pricing schedules, product options, Gift card, coupons, CRM data, cost tracking, employee monitoring, etc. become even more complicated when a 3rd application (Zoovy) is thrown into the mix. The data integration specifically surrounding pricing schedules and product options would have to

A promotion API is a CGI (e.g. Perl/PHP) program which computes custom shipping. Shipping APIs are passed an XML representation of the current cart which then based on a companies internal business logic perform operations on the cart. The promotion API then output headers and data in a XML format. A promotion API may return one or more shipping methods, along with a price for each method. Promotion API's may be passed a list of attributes for each product in the cart, this may include custom attributes specified by the site owner. This is to increase performance by avoiding having to do additional lookups of product data. What Zoovy sends to your URL: & lt;?xml version="1.0"& gt; & lt;PROMOTIONAPI_REQUEST& gt; & lt;cart& gt; & lt;product id="xx" qty="##" price="#.##" wt="###" tax="Y|N"& gt;description& lt;/product

This document outlines the version to version changes in the order manager windows client. This version includes several bug fixes for Endicia and Quickbooks. The most significant feature enhancement in this version is the ability to print dropship packingslips for wholesale customers. A drop ship packing slip includes the wholesale customers address and logo on the packing slip (so when it is received by the recipient they think it was shipped by your customer, instead of you.) Dropship packing slips do not include price information either, and include the reference number given by your customer on the invoice. A dropship packing slip is automatically printed anytime an order is received from a customer who has drop shipping information in their customer record. (The ability to add drop shipping information to a customer recor

Navigation Categories, sometimes called navcats are how you separate and organize your products logically on your Zoovy store. Done properly, this helps your customers view items quickly and intuitively. This is the most common way of looking at products online. You must remember a few things when seperating your products into website navigation categories. People generally do not want to click more then three categories deep. Keep your products separated, but do not segregate the product so much that you have only one product in a category. Think of your navigation as groups of common items. Usability studies have determined that more than 7 choices on any given page will cause the user to go into information overload and become confused. In addition, too many categories will make the user perceive the site as busy or the site will take too long to load.

Worldship is no longer supported. Please use the built in UPS airbill functionality within the Order Manager desktop client. These export functions require setup of your WorldShip Software, or UPS Online Tools. Please consult your WorldShip Software Documentation for specific instructions on setting up your import settings. The Zoovy Order Manager makes it easy to import tracking information and export customer shipping data to the UPS "WorldShip" software. While the synchronization process is a snap, there is some setup that requires the preparation of your shipping software to accept the exported files. To setup UPS Worldship integration, visit the 3rd party providers. 1. Run Z

When orders are created they are saved in the RECENT folder. While orders are in recent they can be cancelled by customers on the web. The statuses Pending, and Approved do not mean anything to Zoovy - they are strictly for your internal use. Some people place orders which are waiting for payment to Pending, and orders which have been paid for to Approved so they can be shipped. Once orders are shipped they should be placed in COMPLETED status. Orders in completed status will appear on sales reports, etc. Once orders are placed into cancel then the inventory which was removed for those orders is added back to the available inventory. Aftering finishing your yearly or quarterly taxes you can archive orders to reduce the number of orders displayed

In the preferences areas you can permit employees to edit recent orders. You can also configure the Invoice Footer Message which is displayed at the bottom of each invoice and packing slip. If you select automatically notify the customer, Order Manager will send your customer an email when the order status changes.

This document covers the basic operation of a gateway, along with which gateways are supported and their various subtle differences. Payment gateways authorize credit card transactions over the internet in real time. The card number is input through the checkout system and goes immediately to the gateway for authorization. Your customer is then immediately charged, or the card is denied. The funds are processed each night and deposited to your account. The time it takes to have the funds in your account depends on your payment gateway and merchant account. Authorize.Net is the #1 used gateway on the Zoovy system. For more information about configuring Authorize.Net please visit: More information about the Quickbooks Merchant Serv

OrderManager can support a number of payment types, by default it will support only payment types defined by your Zoovy checkout. The client administrator can add custom payment types to keep more accurate track of the different types of payment. Use the Add Payment Type function to have new payment types appear in Order Edit. payment types may either be a valid payment code as recognized by the Zoovy system, or may be a custom payment type used internally by your company. It is important to remember that new payment types will only appear in the Order Manager client and will NOT appear on the website. You can delete either custom or authorized Zoovy payment types. When you delete a payment type it will NOT appear in the list of accepted payment types when a user is editing an order. BE CAREFUL, when y

Zoovy Order Manager includes full payment support. Using the software you can flag orders as PAID, DENIED, CANCELED, or PENDING based on your payment status. If your store is configured to use a Payment Gateway you will see a Realtime Credit Card tab when editing Payment information. In the Payment area you can edit customer payment information such as credit card numbers, and expiration dates. You can also perform common actions such as settling any order which has been AUTHORIZED but not SETTLED. If a card is settled successfully the order PAYMENT STATUS should change to PAID rather than PENDING, in addition the TRANSACTION STATUS will denote it is paid. If you create a new order in order manager and attempt to process the card it will do an immediate settlement (order manager will never attempt to authorize a card - regardless of your gateway settings on Z

You can search for invoices by order #, or any piece of information about the customer. As you start typing the order manager will automatically search searching once you enter at least 4 characters.

Session id's are used by Zoovy to track buyers as they move from page to page. Sessions are stored in both cookies, and sometimes on the URL. Sessions on the URL take appear like: http://www.yourdomain.com/c=xxxxxxxxxxxxx/url where xxxxxxxxx is a 20 digit alphanumeric, case sensitive token that is unique to your store. Inserting sessions into the URL is necessary in the following cases: * anytime shoppers do not have cookies * when it is necessary to detect that buyers do not have cookies * when transferring sessions across domains (cookies cannot move across domains for security reasons) -- read more about "domain funny business" below * anytime we are on a secure/SSL url A lot of merchants get worried about the use of sessions and that they will adversely affect page ranking.

Getting Started: Uploading pictures from an existing website is very easy. First record the URL for the image you wish to upload, typically you can do this by right click on any image in your browser and selecting "Properties" this will give you either the HTTP or HTTPS for a specific image. Click the "Upload new Image" link in the upper left hand corner of any of the Zoovy Image Library pages, this will change the page to the upload picture page. Type the URL into URL box at the bottom of the screen. Press the "Upload From URL" button, this will transfer the file to Zoovy. If the transfer is successful the image will be stored in a folder that begins with the first letter of the filename, so Pretty.gif would be stored in the "P" directory, and so on. You will be given the option to review the file after it has been uploaded.

Zoovy Order Manager creates a desktop database that will store your order and customer information. Databases should be backed up and maintained routinely by the primary administrator. Using this tool will create a backup copy of your database. The backup is stored on your hard drive under the directory C:\Program Files\Zoovy\OrderMgr\backups You may want to make sure you have a backup copy stored on removable media such as a CD or zip. Order Manager can restore your data from backup. Doing this will overwrite your current data. This tool comes in very handy if your database becomes corrupted so the more current your backups are, the better off you will be. Run Compact/Repair on your database at least once a week. Before running compact repair MA

However this should always be done after Basic Zoovy Orientation and after the customer has added at least a handful of products and configured their website.

Incomplete items are created after an auction has been completed and a winner has been selected. Since incomplete items lack details about a customer, you can only search by claim # or customer email address.

Using order manager and the customer tool you can lookup customers, along with their purchase history and account information. If you have the CRM Bundle you can also view and add customer notes. Customers notes are shared across all orders for a specific customer. Use this to denote special handling, or virtually any piece of information which should be remembered for a customer (versus just remembering for a specific order)

The Products by Invoice shows a summary of which products go in which orders. This is extremely useful for suppliers who receive large batches of inventory on a daily or weekly basis from several suppliers.

The paid pending report shows all items in a PAID status, in the PENDING disposition. This report is intended for sellers who do not stock any items, or have suppliers which dropship and so they need to know which items should be ordered from dealers.

The affiliate report will show gross sales for a range, or an entire status based on the !META property of an order. The !META can be set by passing an additional parameter ?META=CODE to any page on your zoovy site. For example: http://yourname.zoovy.com?META=CODE http://www.yourdomain.com?META=CODE In this case CODE would appear as a column in the report. You can make up new codes using characters A-Z and 0-9.

Launch Groups allow you to syndicate products from categories, lists, or hardcoded csv lists of products into marketplaces at predictable days/times. The Launch Groups manager has inline help - just click the "Info" link adajcent to any field to learn how to properly configure the values. Launch Groups support a variety of "Queueing Strategies" - a detailed explanation of each one is provided below: If you set the Max Products per launch to either -1 (unlimited) or a value greater than the number of products in the group then the queuing strategy is irrelevant since all products will be launched every time. This selects products in a sequential order. Each Launch Group keeps an internal count of how many listings it has performed, which is then divided by the number of products in

This tutorial covers "Using HTML with a Zoovy Website" in it we will discuss some simple formatting techniques that will enhance your site, or Auction Listings. HTML stands for hypertext markup language, it is a scripting language which is used by web browsers to build webpages. This document is written in HTML, as are all the other webpages on the Internet you surf. Basic HTML is very easy to learn, in fact anybody can do it. Knowing HTML will allow you to do neat things like bold text, center text, or even include other images on your page. HTML works on the idea that there is meta information inside each document. Meta information contains special codes that tell the browser how to format the text, every browser uses the same codes because the codes are standardized by an international committee known as the

You can create non-taxable incomplete items with a negative price and use them as gift certificates. This support is currently experimental, and the messaging may be a little strange since the claim page is oriented towards auction sellers, not gift certificate recipients. The "G" (Gift) status in incomplete items is reserved as a gift certificate. You must also have Developer enabled on your account, and you must go into Developer and allow negative priced items in the cart. It's also worth mentioning that negative priced items are extremely dangerous and should NEVER be enabled at the same time the soft cart feature is engaged. To create the gift certificate you go to orders then incomplete items and select create new. Create the item with a negative amount. Look up the item in your incomplete list and open it to get the link you can send to

You must be using a scale which is compatible with order manager. If you already own a scale that you would like us to be compatible with then please follow the instructions later in this document to send us the output from your specific scale. Scales-R-Us SE 20i (Weigh-Tronix/NCI 7010 compatible) -- also compatible with Endicia DaZzle. Mettler - Toledo Scale PS60 (This scale requires special programming please refer to the bottom of this doc for details) *Note: this scale is only compliant with Order Manager v5.127 and higher Fairbanks Model SCB - 2453-1 Endicia ES 2200 (Weigh-Tronix/NCI 7010 compatible) To setup your scale it must be connected to a work serial port on your computer. You must designate which serial port the scale is on, and the type of scale and then press the setup button, w

In the codes below, there are several instances of ATTRIBUTE=0 or 1. In these cases, 0 is false and 1 is true. So in the instance of NOHOME=1, the home button/text would not appear in your navigation categories. Pay close attention to the image categories, which sometimes duplicate a true or false statement up to three times. Make sure all three are the same, or funky things will happen with your categories. In image categories, feel free to adjust the width of the buttons, but again, do it in all three places. BUTTONTYPE=sleekgrey4_off can be changed to any button type in the zoovy system. It would need to be changed once in the body code and twice in the head code. All three references can point to different navbuttons. Your code does not need to contain the nohome and onlyhome lines of code if you are not using them. By default, both are set to zero. In some cases (text navcats), th

This guide discusses the "CART" element - specifically the ability to embed server side javascript into the cart element to create your a customized cart presentation. This document is written for Zoovy employees who are building customized carts for customers, and contains references to specific Zoovy internal policies and procedures. Customers do not necessarily need to follow these "guidelines" - with the exception of the performance guidelines. Failure to adhere to the performance guidelines could result in the cart being deactivated and replaced with a default Zoovy cart. Effective 9/18/04: Consultants/Independent Contractors who are building projects for customers *MUST* adhere to all guidelines to ensure forward compatibility. Keep reading to learn why: Failure to provide full compatibility for all Zoovy features will most likely result in a

The elements below can only be used in conjunction with category page layouts. If you want a block of text to appear on your category page, use the element below. For multiple texts on various parts of the page, change the element line NAME="DESCRIPTION" to NAME="DESCRIPTION2" and the SAVETO line to match the name. It is important to remember that category pages must ALWAYS save data to either page: or merchant: namespace. & lt;ELEMENT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="DESCRIPTION"& gt; PRETTY=Category Description ABOUT=Please describe this category and why it is unique SAVETO=page:description HELPER=Remember to keep this text short and to the point. If this is too long the products will be hard to find. & lt;br& gt; & lt;/ELEMENT& gt; Sometimes it is more convenient to have a page title in the flow, instead of the wrapper. To do this,

Galleries are used to display a list of channels which are currently running, or will soon be running on a marketplace. The gallery page by default is located at http://yourname.zoovy.com/gallery.cgis however any of the elements below may be used on any page (including the homepage or any category). Make sure you check out the What can I do with this? section below. & lt;ELEMENT TYPE="GALLERY" NAME="GALLERY1"& gt; SAVETO=page:gallery LIMIT=# & lt;/ELEMENT& gt; LIMIT is the maximum number of listings which will appear in the gallery. The maximum number is 500 & lt;ELEMENT TYPE="GALLERYSELECT" NAME="GALLERYSELECT1"& gt; SAVETO=page:gallery & lt;/ELEMENT& gt; The GALLERYSELECT element displays a tabbed list of marketplaces which have one or more listings, along with t

By creating incomplete items you can let people check out and pay for items which were not listed through Zoovy. For example if a losing bidder contacts you after an auction ends and says they would like to be able to purchase items at the winning price and you agree, then you could simply create an incomplete item and the item would be processed just like any other item purchased through an auction. From zoovy.com go to Orders Select Incomplete Use the Create New link at the bottom of the page. Please note, this is not to create an order, but a link so your customer can checkout. Fill in the information and the customer email address, select save then exit. To determine the checkout link for the customer, open the incomplete item by the claim number link. When you create an incomplete item, your customer is

The eBay site is designed so that a seller lists an item and buyers bid on or purchase the item. The buyer or winning bidder then pays for the item, and the seller ships it to the buyer. When the transaction is complete, eBay charges the seller a percentage of the transaction price, known as a Final Value Fee or FVF. eBay's Unpaid Item policy and User Agreement both make clear that buyers must pay for the items they commit to purchase. However, in some cases, the buyer does not pay or the buyer and seller have a disagreement. The Unpaid Item Process is designed to handle this. The process usually occurs after eBay has charged the seller the Final Value Fee (FVF - a percentage of the sale amount), but before the seller ships the item. Typically, a seller would use the Unpaid Item Process when: The buyer does not pay during the first seven day

Channels can be scheduled to launch one time, or many times. Channels which are scheduled to launch once will appear as status HOLD, whereas channels which are scheduled to repeat over again will appear as SCHEDULED in your channel manager. Please note scheduled channels never actually launch themselves, instead they create copies of themselves with new channel numbers that can be managed separately. The Channel scheduler can be accessed by going to Setup / Products, selecting a product then clicking on Create Channel, and finally in the channel selection screen clicking the "Schedule" button. Remove from Website will delete the product from all navigation categories before launching the channel, this is an ideal solution for one of a kind sellers who would like to place one-of-a-kind items on their storefro

Data import can be accomplished by exporting your listings using the Andale Lister Pro. Andale Lister Pro does not properly handle CR/LFs when exporting to a CSV format.

Windows clients let you do more, in less time. Windows clients are only available to customers who have purchased licenses for them. In many cases licenses are included as part of an account. You can download new client versions at Our Download Center

You can create nested categories up to four levels deep, you can also group products by common properties such as manufacturer, size, color or the juiciness score. Pretty much whatever you want to do, you're going to be able to do it. You can even control the exact order that products are displayed in each category. Most people will not purchase from your website if it takes more than three or four clicks to actually add the product to the shopping cart. If you have many nested sub-categories, you should enable a page layout for the category that allows the customer to add the product to the shopping cart from the category page. Product categories let you organize your products into a hierarchy on your website. You can also create "hidden categories" by putting a exclaimation mark (!) as the first letter of the category

When orders are created they are saved in the RECENT folder. While orders are in recent they can be cancelled by customers on the web. The statuses Pending, and Approved do not mean anything to Zoovy - they are strictly for your internal use. Some people place orders which are waiting for payment to Pending, and orders which have been paid for to Approved so they can be shipped. Once orders are shipped they should be placed in COMPLETED status. Orders in completed status will appear on sales reports, etc. Invoices will only appear in any status for 180 days. After 180 days, the only way to find the order is to look in a report, or using the search functionality. Searching for invoices is much faster if you specify the full order number e.g. 2004-10-1234 instead of just 1234. When an order is cancelled it's inve

Option groups allow you to configure sizes, colors, etc. for a product. You can assign a product to an Option Group by selecting the the product and dragging it onto the Option Group that you would like it to be a part of. Once you have added the product to the option group it becomes a product option group or for short a POG. Once you have added a product to an option group, you will need to fine tune the option group for that product.

Zoovy can perform CSV Imports of Products, Categories, and more. Review the help file for the type of import you want to do. The "Carriage Return" and "Line Feed" (CR and LF) are the characters which get put in when you hit "Enter" on your keyboard. If you are generating your own CSV file, use whatever editor you're using to make the CSV file to remove CR and LF characters from the columns. Unfortunately, Excel and Access are completely capable of adding the CR and LF characters into files, but lacks the ability to easily search and replace those specific character codes. The message that pops up and says "There are features of excel that are incompatible with the format you are saving in" comes up for a reason, and that reason is it is excel (and access) support CR/LF in files, and CSV does not. CSV is a standard format that we can import from, and Excel i

Channel Manager is used to review live channels/auctions. You can get to Channel Manager by going to Manage / Channel Manager. Channels should only refresh when they are updated by a marketplace. You should read the Channel details to see how often a channel will be updated by a marketplace - For example some are updated every four hours, others may never be updated. You can revoke or remove a channel by going onto the zoovy website and selecting the Manage tab then going to Channel Manager. Find the channel number (or search by auction number), and then click "Edit" under the channel ID. From there you can modify the properties and check the status. Keep in mind that revoking a channel will cause Zoovy stop any relisting of that channel. Removing a channel will do the same but also attempt to end the item on Ebay a

The Zoovy Image Library allows you to easily upload new images, and manage existing ones. Once uploaded an image is automatically saved in a "collection", an image collection contains information about the image itself including which instance (a single copy of an image) is the original image. All future changes to the image are made from the original that you upload. Zoovy uses image collections to provide an easy way for you to have pictures automatically sized and formatted to the environment the image is being displayed in. No, if you upload a file with the same name it will automatically overwrite the previous collection. This trick is a handy way to replace the original copy of an image in a collection. When you replace the original image in a collection all instances will be aut

Consigner sync allows the order manager or other clients to upload a list of consignees which may then be associated with products. The upload and download formats are identical, a brief summary is given below: & lt;email& gt;support@zoovy.com& lt;/email& gt; & lt;likespam& gt;1& lt;/likespam& gt; & lt;fullname& gt;Homer Simpson& lt;/fullname& gt; & lt;modified& gt;976395907& lt;/modified& gt; & lt;created& gt;0& lt;/created& gt; ... ... ... Best practices state that Logos be uploaded to Zoovy, or stored in a briefcase. But the actual implementation may vary between clients.

To create an order from web manager, log in to your account and follow these steps: 1. Select the Order tab 2. Switch to Incomplete status 3. Select Create New from the menu at the bottom of the screen 4. Fill in the requested information about the purchase and hit save. If this is related to an auction item you can use the auction number for the reference product ID. 5. You may now manage this as any other incomplete order. 6. You may also send your customer directly the claim URL so they can add the item to the cart and checkout: Example: http://merchantname.zoovy.com/claim/1234 This comes in handy for the person who has paid you directly through paypal, or money order, but did not go through your checkout process. 1. Place a checkmark next to the incomplete item. 2. Select the Create Order radio

This tool allows you to import orders to your Enterprise database for processing. The order import feature works along the same lines as the CSV product import tool. This tool is designed to allow importing of orders in sycnrhonization with the JIT Interface for Order Manager. Once orders have been successfully imported, they will appear in the & quot;Recent& quot; tab in Order Manager. The Order Import Tool is accessed from the 'Tools' menu on your Enterprise server as "Import Orders from CSV file." Follow this link for additional information on the JIT Order Processing System which can be found in the Guides section of this manual. These are the variables that constitute the column headings in the CSV file you are importing. %MKTORDERID - specifies the marketplace order id for the order. This is typically the ord

An experimental feature is one which is designated as "ready for testing with live data." Experimental features made available to customers to solicit feedback and perform testing with real world data. It will say experimental on the configuration page, or in the documentation. If in doubt, ask Zoovy support. These are new features, basically uncharted waters. In many cases we have not trained our internal technical or sales staff. The feature might not work correctly all the time, it might corrupt data in your store, it could even cause lost sales by confusing customers, or not closing listings correctly and to top it off it may go through periods where it's "Dead". Dead periods are ones where we determine the application needs a s

Lists provide an alternate way to group products outside of the navigation category structure. Lists do not appear in default site navigation, they must be referenced by a product list. Lists should be used when you need to group products by properties that are not necessarily helpful for navigation. NOTE: Lists can be created by any customer. BUT only customers who have the "Cross Selling" bundle associated with their account can use them. (Legacy 1.0 accounts can use them to submit to marketplaces, but not in website designs) Lists are ideal for the following applications: Best Sellers Related Upsell Items Publishing Specific Items to a CPC Marketplace To configure a list simply go to the website and create a navigation category. At the bottom of the categories you will see the option to create a l

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transmission Protocol, it is the primary means of transporting mail over the Internet. While installing order manager you will be asked for the following pieces of information: SMTP Server Address - this is the address of the server that your computer will be sending mail through. For example, servername.yourisp.com Checkbox - turn on POP before SMTP Username, Password, Pop Server To reconfigure these settings later go to Admin / Edit SMTP Settings If your ISP does not support either of these authentication methods, you may want to consider using Zoovy Mail. AOL Users - you do not have an SMTP server and should leave the SMTP address field blank. You will not be able to use the SMTP Mail feature unless you purchase an SMTP transport service from another ISP. Zoovy does provide this service; ple

If you're feeling exceptionally lazy you can might consider simply requesting an import of your running eBay auctions. Please read the details on importing listings from eBay.com Click Here This probably won't get all your data, but at least it will provide a starting point. Once you have exported your Customers and/or Products using the Export feature in AuctionWorks you will need to remove AuctionWorks header and replace it with a Zoovy header. AuctionWorks regularly changes it's export format, and so it's very difficult (if not impossible) to keep this file up to date. In general it is safe to assume that you can ignore new fields by simply leaving the header field blank. If you need assistance please contact your assigned implementation technician.

Sellers Assistant Pro is a windows client provided by eBay.com to manage listings. To migrate the Sellers Assistant Pro Database you simply add the Zoovy headers by exporting the data from MS-Access to Microsoft Excel, then converting to a CSV file and adding the appropriate columns in the SA Pro database. This can typically be done by Zoovy staff. One of the biggest issues importing the SA Pro database is images - there are a variety of ways to deal with this but the easiest is to use Product Manager to do a mass import of all the images and then just treat the images as if they already exist on Zoovy. You can also simply request an import of your running eBay auctions. Please read the details on importing listings from eBay.com Click Here This pr

Overview: Product lists can be used on product, category, cart, search results or homepage flows. How the products are displayed in a product list is known as the 'listing style'. Some of the default Zoovy listing styles include: thumb, plain and detail. & lt;ELEMENT TYPE="PRODLIST" NAME="PRODLIST1"& gt; PRETTY=Product Listing ABOUT=You can add products to your homepage, when you do they will appear below. MULTIPAGE=1 DEFAULT=THUMB,1,2,NONE & lt;/ELEMENT& gt; Multipage: Can be set to '1' or '0' where 1 is on and 0 is off. This gives the page developer the ability to give the user the option to have a mutliple page product list. This is very handy on category pages. Home and Cart pages should almost always have multipage set to 0. Search results pages should ALWAYS have this set t

Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 contains core Data Access components such as the Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB provider and ODBC driver. Zoovy Order Manager uses Microsoft Access Runtime Edition as it's core database in non-enterprise installations. Unfortunately because MDAC is also relied on by numerous other applications (including Microsofts own applications) Zoovy can provide only limited support. We have verified that MDAC 2.8 installs correctly on machines with operating systems 98,ME,XP, and 2000 which are freshly installed. This document attempts to fix the commonly known MDAC 2.8 issues: Order Manager runtime error 5000 cp internal 103003 runtime error (kernel32 general protection fault) runtime error 6 - buffer overflow Unfortunately once you begin receiving these errors - there is no "simple" fix. Attention Windows 98/ME Users - we have reason

The Zoovy Product Manager can search a "Catalog" via HTTP. A catalog is nothing more than a search page which accepts fixed input parameters, and outputs a set XML format. A catalog can be quickly and easily implemented in any web language such as Java, PHP, Perl, ASP, Python, etc. Catalogs can implement both a "keyword" search and a "keyed" search. The keyed search typically uses the manufactuer UPC or ISBN, or Bookland/EAN. Two parameters are passed via a standard HTTP GET: TEXT The keyword string OR keyed field SEARCH The type of search being requested, the value will be one of the following: KEYWORD, SKU, or SKULIST KEYWORD is a request for a keyword search SKU is a request for a keyed search SKULIST is a batch request for a comma separated list of keyed fields (not typically use

This document is written for people who have control over two or more Zoovy sites which share product id's. It is possible to designate inventory in one site as the "Master" and the remaining sites as the subordinate. Inventory will only be updated on the master site. Purchases made on the subordinate sites can optionally be copied to the master site via order dispatch. Throughout this document the term "Master Site" will be used to reference the site that contains the inventory records. The term "Subordinate" refers to any site that queries inventory from a master site. A site can only be a master or a subordinate; it is not possible to configure a site as both. Both master and subordinate sites must have the SITE INTEGRATOR feature enabled. Using the instructions included a subordinate site can only subordinate to a single

Editing Live Listings is not currently possible. To edit a live listing first you must first cancel the listing, then launch a new one. This document is prepared for Enterprise customers. Pending or unapproved channels can be edited. Pending channels in a state of either (P) Pending, (S) Scheduled, (H) Hold, or blank (not sent to Zoovy yet). Use the mighty mouse feature in product manager. Either type the SKU of the product in the SKU field to retrieve the product, or you can also type $MKT xxx where "xxx" is the eBay ID for the product you wish to cancel. (Please note, the $MKT may not work perfectly with powerlisters who have more than one active listing, OR listings which have recently launched and have not been synced back to the server). Be sure you have the "Grab Channels" check

This document is prepared for Enterprise customers. Running listings are channels which have been approved, and transmitted to the marketplace, and are either in a state of (A) Active or (X) Existing. You may not be able to cancel listings depending on marketplace rules. For example on eBay if an auction has bids, or is within 24 hours of closing it is not possible to remove - in this case issuing a remove will result in the auction being immediately closed. Use the mighty mouse feature in product manager. Either type the SKU of the product in the SKU field to retrieve the product, or you can also type $MKT xxx where "xxx" is the eBay ID for the product you wish to cancel. (Please note, the $MKT may not work perfectly with powerlisters who have more than one active listing

The packager feature of Order Manager is designed to easily deploy custom files such as custom emails, custom reports, custom invoices, custom packing slips or any other file you can think of to an order manager desktop. Packager support is used by Zoovy support to distribute custom work that we have done for you, and a package maintainer is available to Enterprise clients - it is also heavily used by 3rd parties who integrate with Zoovy software. Simply put the URL to the package file into the space provided and press enter. A window will popup and execute and then close when it is complete. Browse to the file on your local hard disk and select the packager file you want to install.

This will create HTML that may be inserted into any Auction or Channel which will override the default settings that were inherited from the product. Normally this is used to override fields such as Product Name (by default the External Item title is the Auction description), Weight, Taxable status, and Options associated with the product. Blank fields will not be included (usually leaving product title and weight blank is safe - do not edit unless you have a reason.). You can use Export Properties to add options and notes to your post auction checkout process. Simply login to zoovy.com, go to products, select a product to manage, and go to Export Properties and follow the instructions.

The Zoovy Inventory API allows you to query a remote database to perform inventory lookups. Performs an HTTP POST, the REQUEST variable contains the following XML content: & lt;INVENTORY& gt; & lt;SKU ID="1506"/& gt; & lt;/INVENTORY& gt; NOTE: 1506 is the SKU number of the product in the local database (this could also be a virtual product, or a product added via the soft cart feature!) Expects a HTTP Content-type of xml/success with the body of the document formatted as such: & lt;INVENTORY& gt; & lt;SKU ID="1506" QTY="10" RESERVE="0" LOC="SHELF_ABC"/& gt; & lt;/INVENTORY& gt; NOTE: 1506 is the SKU number of the product in the local database. QTY is the actual quantity on hand, the reserve amount (if any) will be subtracted from that based on the merchants settings. LOC is the location, and is used by applications wh

Synchronization is the function that uploads any changes you have made to the Zoovy servers, and then downloads any new orders and customer information that may have changed on the Zoovy servers. In addition Synchronization sends any new email you have created to the customers. Communication with the Zoovy servers occurs over a SSL secured connection so all your information is transmitted over the highest level of Internet protocol security available. NOTE: If you have trouble syncing order manager, please check to see that you are not using negative quantities in any orders. Order Manager is designed to be run on only one machine. If you have syncing problems and you have two computers that you are using order manager on, uninstall the additional copy of order manager. Please note that when you make changes on the website, then in order manager, the last change is assumed to

Zoovy Order Manager creates a desktop database that will store your order and customer information. Databases should be backed up and maintained routinely by the primary administrator. The Reset Database tool is a maintenance tool that allows you to destroy all local information and completely clear your database. By doing this it will cause the Order Manager client to automatically download all of your information from the Zoovy servers. Using this tool will cause you to lose any changes you have made since the last synchronization. You should not use this tool unless instructed to by Zoovy technical support.

Zoovy Order Manager creates a desktop database that will store your order and customer information. Databases should be backed up and maintained routinely by the primary administrator. Run Compact/Repair on your database at least once a week. Before running compact repair MAKE sure that ONLY the administrator is logged into the database.

During a normal synchronization the Order Manager client will record the timestamp, of the most recently modified invoice. The next time a synchornization is performed, only the invoices which have changed since the timestamp will be synchronized. Since time should never move backwards (and if it does we've got much bigger problems) this allows Order Manager to do what is called "incremental synchronization" e.g. only download changes rather than the full database. The compare database feature does a systematic invoice by invoice comparison of the local order manager database against the Zoovy servers. In this case the Zoovy servers will be treated as the master copy, in the event two invoices do not match, then a new copy will be downloaded from the Zoovy server and the local copy will be overwritten. This can be used to fill in gaps if for whatever reason order

There may be a time when you need to restore your data from backup. This is where having made those backups regularly comes in very handy. Select File then Restore Database. This will open your file system to the last good backup. Select the latest backup from the file system and select okay.

You should backup your database before ANY upgrade or change. In addition it is a good idea to backup your database before you run a defrag or any sort of disk compression program. By backing up your data you ensure that any changes you have made locally which may or may not have been synchronized with the Zoovy servers are safe. Normally Zoovy will keep a backup of your data, however Zoovy does NOT keep a copy of your local preferences such as label setup, and admin preferences, and local users. In addition if you have a lots of customers and orders having a backup of your database can prevent a long and costly download. The following pieces of information are stored in your local database and are NOT transmitted to the Zoovy server which means if you want to keep them, you should backup as often as possible.

This tool is used to determine problems with sending email through Order Manager. If you are asked to log sent email, you will select this option from the admin menu under technical support. This will create a file that you will then need to attach to your tech support ticket so the technicians can diagnose what is happening with any email sending problems you may be having. This is typically related to SMTP settings. For more on SMTP settings and errors, please select the troubleshooting area of the menu. Do not use this feature of Order Manager unless you are told to do so by a Zoovy technical representative. Running multiple copies of order manager is not supported unless you have an Enterprise account at this time. Doing so can cause problems with syncing and unintended changes to order status.

Users are required to login to Order Manager. Normally the username will be the same as the Zoovy account. Platinum and Enterprise users will use the username assigned by the administrator. In the event that Order Manager receives an "invalid password" response from the Zoovy server it will request that you update your password to be the same as the one in your Zoovy account. If you change your password, you will need to use the admin menu to update your Order Manager admin password.

With the Zoovy Order Manager you can easily edit your invoices and more. The majority of the order edit functionality relies on the toolbar in the upper portion of the screen. The toolbar has the following functions on it: Save: saves the order back to the database, until you press save all changes will not occur to the actual order. Cancel: hitting this button will undo any changes you have made prior to the last save. Tax: Allows you to easily change the sales tax rate for an order. Shipping: Allows you to easily change the shipping prices and description for an order. Email: Allows you to easily send mail to the customer.

Order Manager automatically synchronizes inventory with your store - even while you are working offline. Order Manager records changes to your inventory levels and uploads the revised data the next time you synchronize and update data. If you take phone orders and sync later, your inventory totals are not updated until you have completed your syncs. The total of the inventory is adjusted locally, then changed on the web once you sync.

You can easily edit the shipping for any order. When you click the shipping button or the picture of an airplane in order edit, a shipping edit window will appear. The edit shipping window has two portions, the bottom portion is a free entry area where you can change the shipping description and price. The upper portion requires that you are connected to the Internet and will contact Zoovy and transmit the information about the order currently being edited and will use the values entered to compute the price based on your companies shipping policies. The shipping edit tool will use the edited version of the cart, NOT the saved version. For example if you add a 100 lb. Gorilla to an order but do NOT hit save and then attempt to calculate shipping you will find that the 100 lb. Gorilla is included in the price. HOWEVER, unless you hit save in order edit then any new shipping price will not be

Please note, if your customers uses two different email addresses, there is no way to match up their data. If you notice an order not listed in the history, please double check the customer has not used a different email for that particular order before notifying tech support. This is a more common occurence than you might think.

The customer tool presents an easy way to list all your customers. You can view the following information about each customer in the list: Fullname Email Address Phone City State Zip Tricks: You can sort by any one of the values above, by simply clicking in the column. By double clicking on a customer in the list you will be able to bring up the customer order history. You can easily search for specific customers by putting in the known information into the search box. If you put information in more than one field then information from both fields is used to find the most specific match.

Incomplete orders are orders that have been purchased through an auction bid. The winning bidder has been notified and the item is reserved, but the purchase is not yet complete. The order is in incomplete status. There are times when you may need to restore a claim in order to sync the order with Order Manager. To do this you will login into the web manager account at Zoovy.com. Click on orders. Then click the incomplete button. Click on view processed.
