Before you can begin website creation in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet, you will first need to create a pricing scheme in the Doc Item Maintenance Applet (Step 1), then create a company in the Organization Applet (Step 2), and lastly, create a member class in the Membership Admin Applet (Step 3). You have to link the information above in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet when you create your website, so each step is compulsory. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions to perfect your website creation. Let us get started!
Step 1: Create a Pricing Scheme in the Doc Item Maintenance Applet
...
Go to the Pricing Scheme menu and create a new pricing scheme.
In the tab, you will have to insert “CP-COMMERCE” in the Pricing Scheme Name field and then create.
The pricing scheme code will be auto-generated and this code is important during website creation in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet.
Do note that you have to ensure that the pricing scheme code in the CP-Commerce Applet is the same as your auto-generated pricing scheme code.
Now let us move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Create a Company in the Organisation Applet
...
You will have to access the Organisation Applet and click on the Company menu. On that page, click on the + Button, which will bring you to a tab where you can create your company.
Fill in the necessary information and save.
After creating a company, click on the Co. Registration Number in the table, which will bring you to a tab where you can create your company’s branch.
Click on the Branch tab and create a branch for your company.
Do note that creating the branch is compulsory, as you will need it to link your company to your CP-Commerce marketplace website.
...
Go to Branch Edit > Details. You will have to choose CP-COMMERCE as your default pricing, and then save.
You are done with linking your pricing scheme to your branch; now let’s move on to Step 3.
Step 3: Create a Member Class in the Membership Admin Applet
This step is quite simple. First, click on the Member Class menu, and then create a membership class.
Fill in the blank fields with a code and a name you would like to call your members, and then create. The membership class code has to be named the same as the membership class name.
The member class code is later needed during website creation in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet. This is so that you can assign your customers to different ranks or reward them with membership points when they purchase from your website.
After completing the creation of the member class and fulfilling all requirements, let us proceed to the website creation process.
