Q: I already have a website running before purchasing your shopping cart.
How can I link my SCS shopping Cart to my site?
A: The best way is to create a subdirectory, and upload your store
to that direction, this way you will keep all files separated, it will be
easy to prevent override.
Q:
A: You can setup the software to send the order directly to your credit card company or receive by e-mail and process manually.
When you use the default USA Sat SSL CGI form, the order will be send to the email placed on the "General Information" form, and a copy will be send to the customer. USA Sat does not keep any information regarding any order.
If you decide to use a credit card company or your own CGI, you will have to make the configuration by using the "Send Form Configuration" form.

A: A copy of the CGI can be
found at "..scs/utilities".
On this directory we have two different CGI. The first one sslorder.cgi is
used by the program to receive the information and create a form to your
customer, with the customers name, address, etc... and a modified copy of FormMail.cgi from Matt's script, which is a free CGI used to send the
order by email to you and a copy to your customer. Both CGI scripts
are configured to be used on a Unix or Linux system or any other server
with Pearl. You may change the CGI to meet your needs.
