We've integrated your shopping cart with Amazon Pay.  You will need to obtain a merchant account from Amazon, and then enabled the payment setting in your WebsiteForge Members area.  Here are the steps once you've obtained an Amazon Pay Merchant account.

Increase the conversions by offering a discount for those that have purchased enticing them to return and leave a review!  Targeted Re-Marketing can really increase sales.  Sometimes just a simple message asking people to review your items and they will!

Don't leave your shoppers hanging...let them know you are happy to keep their business.  You can also offer them store credit(AKA Virtual Wallet) for future purchases if they leave a review!

It is easy to get this setup in your WebsiteForge website. 

 There are some variables listed here for you to use.  These pieces of code will show the user what it was that they purchased.  If you have any questions on this please feel free to contact support and anyone there can help you set this up. :)

Increase the conversions by offering a discount for those that have abandoned cart!  Targeted Re-Marketing can really increase sales and decrease abandoned carts.  Sometimes just a simple message letting people know they forgot to finish the checkout process is all that is needed.

This area will show you how to add the mini shopping cart and customize it.

First go to the page or the area you wish to add your shopping cart to.  We recommend adding your shopping cart to an area of your site that is visible on many pages ( like a header or side area that is shared with the majority of your pages).

Add a new empty frame. (click here if you do not know how to add a new empty frame)

Next Choose "Frame Type and Info". (Click here to see the Content Tool bar icons)

Then choose your E-commerce module in the first drop down list.

And "mini Cart" in the second drop down list.  When you click "Save" it will take you to the frame settings of the mini cart frame.

Starting at the top...
Layout: you can choose "landscape", "Portrait", or "minimal".

You can see slight differences in each. 

Show buttons when cart Empty: This feature will show the "view cart" and "checkout" buttons when there are no items in the cart.

Product Count Label: This option can be changed to say anything you would like if you do not want it to read "you have x products in your shopping cart"

Empty Cart Label: This allows you to change what the cart says when there are no items in it

View Cart Label: This allows you to change the label that reads "view cart".

Checkout Label: This allows you to change the button label for "checkout".

Empty Cart Icon: This allows you to have a customized icon for your empty cart.

Non-Empty Cart Icon: This allows you to have a customized icon for your non empty cart.  You can use any image file, but the size should be (32x32)

Title for Minimized Frame: You can create a title for the minimized frame if you wish.

This area will show you the differences between the Mini Cart and the Full size Cart options.

The Mini Cart shows you basic info. like how many items are in your cart and the total of your cart.

The full size cart shows you all of the items in your cart, Quantities and Totals.

There several ways you can accept credit cards.  This answer will tell you what you will need and how to set it up.

First you will need a merchant account.  There are several merchants that we support.  Here is the list:

Here is a list of videos that pertain to the payment settings setup as well. (click here)

Once you have a Merchant account you can set it up in your E-commerce module under "Payment Settings".

Each method has different requirements to set them up.  If you edit the method you wish to use you will find more detailed instructions on how to set it up on the individual payment setting method screen.

Also if you do not have an E-Commerce Module, you can put Paypal "buy" or "Donation" buttons on your site to accept payment through Paypal. Here is a quick video on how to do that. (click here)

If you have several methods to accept payment you can check and setup each method and then select the method you prefer to use at the bottom of the "payment settings" page. (See screenshot)
