6.8.4 Product 

selection 

This dropdown lists the products that are in this category. You can reassign 

this version to another product if you wish. 

6.8.5 

Version name and description 

There will be a name and description for each language that the store is set to 

use. 

6.8.6 Price 

This is the price in the default currency. From v5 of CactuShop onwards, the 

currency is set up from the 

_modify_currency.asp

 page. Prices for other 

currencies are converted dynamically on the front end using the exchange 

rates configured from that page. Note that prices entered here should be tax 

inclusive values if the config setting 

pricesinctax

 is set to `y'. If 

pricesinctax

 is set to `n', the value entered here should be the price of the 

product without tax. If you enter a price as (say) 20 while CactuShop is set to 

pricesinctax

 = `y', then switch 

pricesinctax

 to `n', the value 20 remains 

unchanged, but will now be considered an ex tax value. 

6.8.7 Weight 

The weight of the item is used by UPS shipping system to calculate the order 

weight, and then lookup the appropriate shipping cost. CactuShop's internal 

shipping calculations can also be based on weight by setting the 

calcshipcostbyweight

 config value to `y'. The unit of weight used is set by 

the 

weightunit

 config setting.

Customer Database Admin 

6.9.1 Basic 

operation 

Each time a customer first orders through CactuShop, a customer record is 

created. Because the email address is required to make an order, the shop 

can find if that customer has an existing customer record and use that for 

reordering. For more information, see 5.9.  

6.9.2 

Creating customer records from the back end 

Customer records can also be created from the back end, so existing clients 

can be set up and given the appropriate discount without needing to make a 

prior order through your store. 

6.9.3 

Customer record listing 

Customer records can be looked up using the email address (or any part of it, 

such as just the companyname.com part). The red `ORD' button will show a 

full list of all orders that customer has made. The yellow `CUS' button brings 

up this customer record for editing.
