<i>or</i><br>
<b>Un-Archive Order and View Next</b><br>

<p>
<b>Delete Order and View Next</b><br>
Deletes the order and displays the next order.

<h2>Features</h2>

<ul>

 customer.edit	Customer Edit	<p>

<ul>
<li>Customer preferences
<li>Customer shipping information
<li>Customer billing information
</ul>

These screens allow you to enter or change information relating to the customer.
The fields displayed on these pages are dependent on how the Site Administrator

  exports the changes you are committing to the tables described on these pages
  to the original flat text file. This feature allows you to keep your original
  files up-to-date and portable. However, while this feature may not hinder the
  system's performance when exporting a small table, exporting a large table may
  slow your system.

page.
 wizard.authorizenet	Wizard : Authorize.net Payment Preferences	Enter the values you recieved when you registered for payment processing through Authorize.net. If you haven't recieved these values or you haven't signed up for this payment option yet leave these fields blank. Remember that you will not be able to launch your site without a secure payment processing solution. The required fields are displayed in <b>Bold</b>.

 wizard.index	Wizard : Welcome 	<font size=-1>The Catalog Wizard gets you started with the Interchange e-commerce platform. It will lead you through the process of configuring the fundamentals of your store. When you finish you will have a fully functioning e-commerce site!  <br><br>The checklist at the left side of the page shows your progress in the Catalog Wizard. You can complete the sections in any order and you can go back to any section at any time. At any point in the Catalog Wizard process you can choose to stop, save your settings, and continue later.
 shipping.weight	Shipping by Weight	<p>
<b>Standard Shipping by Weight:</b> This calculates shipping by total weight with no regard to zones. Weight-based shipping with zones are marked by the company whose zones the algorithm calculates by, i.e., <a href="shipping.ups.html">UPS</a>. To use this method, you must enter a weight for each item in your inventory.
</p>

<p>
<blockquote>
<i>Note: You can use any unit of measure you wish as long as you are consistent: if you enter your item prices in grams then configure shipping with pounds, your customers will not be happy when they are quoted huge shipping rates.</i>
</blockquote>
</p>

<p>
To begin, click on the plus sign once for each range you would like to enter. You can add or subtract more fields at any time, so don't worry. <i><b>Hint</b>: on some browsers, when you click the plus sign more than once, it won't register. In that case, click the "reload" button on your browser to make more fields appear. The first range will automatically start with zero and the last range will automatically end with infinity.</i>

<p>
Create all the ranges you need and give each range a charge amount. In case you would like to charge a percentage of the order total as the shipping and handling charge, you have the option of specifying a percentage for any of the ranges. Note: Interchange automatically bases the beginning point of each range on the end of the last. If you end one range at 5 kg, the next range will begin at 5.00001 kg.
</p>
 matrix.main	Matrix Editor	<p>
<b>What is a Matrix?</b><br>
A matrix is a table of all the possible combinations of options available for an item. For example, a golf club can have options for mens and ladies, right and left handed, several shaft types and flexes, different lofts, or head angles. But not all lofts are available in left handed, and some aren't available in ladies, and graphite shafts cost extra and all have different SKUs. The matrix contains all the variables. A simple matrix might be a size matrix, which has small, medium, large, and extra large. You would then be able to apply a unique sku or price or inventory information to each variation of each item.
</p>

<p>
A matrix can be specified for a particular item in the <a href="item.editor.html">Item Editor</a>, but each matrix must first be created in the Matrix Editor.
</p>

<p>
<b>Create New Matrix</b><br>
Here, give your new matrix a descriptive name, such as "drivers and fairway woods" or "build-to-order bikes."
</p>

<p>
<b>Edit Matrix</b><br>
This feature allows you to edit the name. To edit the matrix's dimensions, use the "Show Dimensions" feature.
</p>

<p>
<b>Show Dimensions</b><br>
This feature allows you to create new dimensions and create ranges underneath those dimensions.
</p>

<p>
<b>Create New Dimension</b><br>
Like the "Create New Matrix" feature, "Create New Dimension" simply lets you specify a name for the dimension. Each matrix can have an unlimited number of dimensions.
</p>

<p>
<blockquote>
Example: The "drivers and fairway woods" matrix will have dimensions for shaft type, flex, right/left handed, and loft.
</blockquote>
</p>

<p>
<b>Edit Dimension</b><br>
This feature allows you to edit the name.
</p>

<p>
<b>Show Ranges</b><br>
This feature will take you to another screen where you can create and edit ranges under that dimension.
</p>

<p>
<b>Create New Range</b><br>
This will allow you to give your new range a name. Each dimension can have an unlimited number of ranges.
</p>

<p>
<blockquote>
Example: The "flex" dime
vers and fairway woods" matrix will have range entries for light, firm, and stiff.
</blockquote>
