How do I create a link to let customers login to their account?

 

Problem:

I want to create a link to let customers login to their shopper accounts.
 

Solution:


CartIt for UNIX 4.x ONLY- create link to CartIt with the appropriate parameters.

Secure requires a secure URL:
https://www.site.com/cgi-bin/cartit.cgi?command=checkout&ao=1&ssl=1

Non-Secure:
http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/cartit.cgi?command=checkout&ao=1

 
ao     A directive for Account Only. Set ao=1 for account management only. Set ao=0 (or omit ao altogether) to create a checkout link.
ssl     Tells CartIt it should maintain secure linking from page to page.


CartIt for UNIX 5.0 and 8.0

NOTE: Version 4.0 format should work in CartIt 5.0 and 8.0. Features are implemented in later versions to allow for backwards compatibility so your Web Site will continue to function as designed without the need for modifications.



http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/cartit_checkout.cgi?ao=1
 
ao     A directive for Account Only. Set ao=1 for account management only. Set ao=0 (or omit ao altogether) to create a checkout link.


CartIt for UNIX 5.0 will auto detect PORT 443, the standard SSL port. Therefore, ssl=1 can be omitted and command=checkout is not required as it is assumed. For a standard Checkout Link, just make a link to cartit_checkout.cgi.

IMPORTANT: If you are using a shared certificate for SSL on your Web Site (a certificate issued to a different domain name than your domain name, such as your Web Presence Provider's certificate) then you MUST use Version 4.0 checkout methods. This method is not recommenced
