Secure Your Links

Protect yourself from fraud.

This simple method will protect your links from people that want to steal from you. This procedure uses a combination of the eCOMpal catalog and a link from your site.

First, build all your items in the eCOMpal catalog. Set them up exactly as you would if you were going to use our catalog feature. Enter the price, description, weight, taxable, and so on. Give each item a unique SKU.

When you set up the links on your site you only need to send one item to the eCOMpal cart to let it get the information from the catalog, CatSku. So, your link would look like http://ww2.eCOMpal.com/catalog.asp?userid=1010001&catsku=abc123 the 1010001 is replaced with your UserId and the abc123 is replaced with the SKU for your item. It's that simple.

There are several optional fields you can send along in the link:

• &Continue= - the URL of the page you want your customer to go back to if they click the "Continue Shopping" button. This is exactly the same as a regular link.
   
• &OrderId= - the id of the order that's returned from eCOMpal after items have been placed in the cart.
   
• &Quan= - the quantity of the item being ordered
   
• &Option1= - any option string that your customer selected from your order page, like the color or size.
   
• &Option2= - a second option that your customer selected from your order page.

If you're sending a customer selected quantity or options, you can modify the code from Add Options to work with the catalog version.

As you can see, it's very straight forward to set up and may save you from getting Ripped Off!
