Configuration instructions and description of TomatoCart e-commerce engine
To be able to use the software with TomatoCart, you need to manually upload and install the engine scripts to your server.
You can download the distribution kit from the TomatoCart
official website. Here is the complete list of product features that the program uploads to TomatoCart:
- SKU
- Name
- Price
- Brief description
- Extended description, which may include information from any fields of the catalog
- Minimum order
- Order increment
- Manufacturer
- Quantity in stock
- Related products
- Keywords and meta tags for SEO
- Photos of four sizes (sizes are requested from the store configuration on your website)
- All .jpg, .bmp, and .png photos from the additional files pane
- All other files from the additional files pane (attached to product items and appear under product descriptions in the store)
TomatoCart implements an extremely sophisticated system for handling product options (colors, sizes, their combinations, etc.)
The upload of that data from the program is not implemented, as an excellent implementation is available in the administration area of the store.
However, the upload of the other data from the program does not prevent you from entering product options in the admin area of the store.
To upload data that not supported by the program to the store, please read this.
The program has been tested with TomatoCart 1.1.5.
In the free version of the program, in order to test the performance with TomatoCart, on the WHAT tab, select TomatoCart store, and on the WHERE tab - one of our the demo stores (or keep a randomly selected one.)
To use the store on your own server (available in the commercial version of the software only)
you must first install and configure the store on your server.
