Online Tutorial - Contents

The VOE allows you to take your existing site and, with some changes to your HTML, allow full-featured, automated online shopping and product ordering.

You design your web site however you like. To integrate with the online ordering system you simply add a few extra HTML commands on pages wherever and whenever you want the user to:

• Add an item to their shopping basket
• Review/change the contents of their basket
• Order the items they've selected

Our system takes care of the rest!

In the following sections, we outline the necessary commands and options.
