*From admin go to '''Tools &rarr; Server Info''' to see what operating system (OS) your host server is running e.g. Unix, Linux, Windows or MacOS. See <big>'''[[Server Info]]'''</big><br />
*'''E-Mail Transport Method'''<br />
**If your host server is running on Unix Linux, leave this setting as '''sendmail'''.<br />
**If your host server is running on Windows or MacOS, change this setting to '''SMTP'''.<br />
*'''E-Mail Line Feeds'''<br />
**If your host server is running on Unix Linux, leave this setting as '''LF'''.<br />
**If your host server is running on Windows or MacOS, change this setting to '''CRLF'''.<br />
*'''Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails'''<br />
**Setting this to '''true''' enables HTML formatting in emails. Depending on how host server is set up, '''E-Mail Line Feeds''' might also need to be set to '''CRLF'''.<br />
**Setting this to '''false''' only allows plain text emails.<br />
*'''Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS'''<br />
**Setting to '''true''' will check if the domain name of email addresses is valid before sending, reducing bounced emails.<br />
**Set this to '''false''' if your host server is running on Windows as it does not work in that case.<br />
*'''Send E-Mails'''<br />
**Enables or Disables the entire email system - disabling is useful whilst testing a shop.<br />
*'''E-Mail From'''<br />
**If on a shared host server, depending on how server is set up, e-mails will fail with the default '''root@localhost''' setting.<br />
**In this case, set this to your store e-mail, the same as '''E-Mail Address''' set in '''Configuration → My Store''' above.<br />
**It is advisable that a custom domain e-mail is used, for example, '''you@yourStore.com''', not a generic e-mail provider.<br />
**DKIM, SPF DMARC policy must be set up on your server. When using a hosted server, seek support from your server host about your server set up.<br />
**This setting must be the email-address only eg '''you@yourStore.com''', and not something like: '''Sales <you@yourStore.com>'''.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div>==='''Product Anywhere'''===<br />
<br />
<big>'''Product Anywhere'''</big> allows products from a Phoenix Cart store to be displayed on virtually any website using a simple HTML element.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional ecommerce systems, products are no longer confined to category pages, product pages, or even the store itself. A product managed in Phoenix Cart can be rendered on third-party websites, affiliate sites, manufacturer pages, blogs, landing pages, CMS platforms, marketing campaigns, or any web page capable of loading JavaScript.<br />
<br />
The external website:<br />
<br />
* Does not need to run Phoenix Cart<br />
* Does not need to share the same domain<br />
* Does not need to share the same hosting<br />
* Does not need to belong to the same business<br />
* Only needs access to the embed script<br />
<br />
Phoenix Cart remains the single source of truth for product data while external websites become display surfaces.<br />
<br />
[[File:Network.png]]<br />
<br />
==='''Usage'''===<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<product-preview data-id="123"></product-preview><br />
<script src="https://yourshop.com/shop/embed.js" defer></script><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Replace:<br />
<br />
* 123 with a valid Product ID<br />
* https://yourshop.com/shop/ with your Phoenix Cart store URL<br />
<br />
When the page loads, Product Anywhere retrieves the product directly from Phoenix Cart and renders it automatically. Any changes made within Phoenix Cart, including product details, pricing, imagery and availability, are reflected wherever the product is embedded.<br />
<br />
==='''Possible Uses'''===<br />
<br />
* Third-party websites<br />
* Affiliate websites<br />
* Manufacturer websites<br />
* Supplier websites<br />
* Partner websites<br />

==='''Why?'''===<br />
<br />
Product Anywhere decouples product placement from catalogue structure. Instead of duplicating product information across multiple websites, a product can be managed once in Phoenix Cart and displayed anywhere it is needed.<br />
<br />
This effectively turns Phoenix Cart into a product publishing endpoint rather than merely an ecommerce storefront.<br />

<div>==='''Product Anywhere'''===<br />
<br />
<big>'''Product Anywhere'''</big> allows products from a Phoenix Cart store to be displayed on virtually any website using a simple HTML element.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional ecommerce systems, products are no longer confined to category pages, product pages, or even the store itself. A product managed in Phoenix Cart can be rendered on third-party websites, affiliate sites, manufacturer pages, blogs, landing pages, CMS platforms, marketing campaigns, or any web page capable of loading JavaScript.<br />
<br />
The external website:<br />
<br />
* Does not need to run Phoenix Cart<br />
* Does not need to share the same domain<br />
* Does not need to share the same hosting<br />
* Does not need to belong to the same business<br />
* Only needs access to the embed script<br />
<br />
Phoenix Cart remains the single source of truth for product data while external websites become display surfaces.<br />
<br />
[[File:Network.png]]<br />
<br />
==='''Usage'''===<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<product-preview data-id="123"></product-preview><br />
<script src="https://yourshop.com/shop/embed.js" defer></script><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Replace:<br />
<br />
* 123 with a valid Product ID<br />
* https://yourshop.com/shop/ with your Phoenix Cart store URL<br />
<br />
When the page loads, Product Anywhere retrieves the product directly from Phoenix Cart and renders it automatically. Any changes made within Phoenix Cart, including product details, pricing, imagery and availability, are reflected wherever the product is embedded.<br />
<br />
==='''Possible Uses'''===<br />
<br />
* Third-party websites<br />
* Affiliate websites<br />
* Manufacturer websites<br />
* Supplier websites<br />
* Partner websites<br />
* Review websites<br />
* Community websites<br />

<big><br />
PhoenixWiki is written by Phoenix shop owners for Phoenix shop owners.<br />
<br />
The PhoenixWiki Project started as just a basic check list but has grown (and continues to grow) into a more comprehensive user guide and knowledge base for Phoenix users.<br />
<br />
PhoenixWiki is privately maintained but if you would like to contribute please contact us at admin@phoenixcart.org.<br />
<br />
PhoenixWiki is free to use but it must cover costs so if you have found it useful please donate to the PhoenixWiki Project to keep it alive, every little helps.<br />

==='''Install Via 1 Click Apps'''===<br />
<br />
CE Phoenix Cart can be downloaded, uploaded and installed using the '1 Click' Apps, <big>'''Softaculous'''</big> or <big>'''Installatron'''</big> .<br />
<br />
This can be done directly by going to <big>'''[http://www.softaculous.com/apps/ecommerce/CE_Phoenix Softaculous]'''</big> or <big>'''[https://installatron.com/cephoenixcart Installatron]'''</big> but these App Installers are already available on many server hosts. Look for them in your server host account control panel and look for CE Phoenix there. If you do not see it there, ask your host to add it.<br />
<br />
==='''Manual Installation'''===<br />
<br />
CE Phoenix Cart can be installed manually on a local machine using WAMP, e.g. XAMPP, or on a server host.<br />
<br />
Some actions will depend on the server host - server hosts may slightly differ.<br />
<br />
The process has been broken down into easily accomplished, step by step tasks in the links below.<br />
<br />
It is advisable to complete each step in sequence.<br />
<br />
<br />
See <big>'''[[ADMINISTRATION]]'''</big> for the complete user guide to the Admin Dashboard.<br />
<br />
You will need some software freely available to download from the internet :<br />
<br />
*FTP (file transfer) software to connect to your server host and transfer files between your computer and your hosted server.<br />
*File editing software to edit '''.php''' files.<br />
<br />
See <big>'''[[Must Have Tools]]'''</big> for details.<br />
<br />

__FORCETOC__<br />
If you are in U.S. or have installed another language pack the following changes might not be necessary.<br />
<br />
This step makes changes to the 2 main language files.<br />
<br />
There is a main language file for the Store side - /includes/languages/english/english.php<br />
<br />
There is a main language file for the Admin side of the site - /admin/includes/languages/english/english.php<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the '''override''' template.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Backup files before and after any changes.<br />
<br />
Double check that the files are uploaded to the correct locations.<br />
<br />
Using the server control panel or FTP software, navigate to the main language file for the Store side '''/includes/languages/english.php'''<br />
<br />
Save a copy of this file, then upload to '''/templates/override/includes/languages/english.php'''.<br />
<br />
Create the new folder/directory '''languages''' in the '''/templates/override/includes/''' if necessary.<br />
<br />
Open this copy to edit.<br />
<br />
Note that '''override''' is the template that is set in a new installation. Ensure to upload to the template set in Configuration → My Store → Template Selection<br />
<br />
CE Phoenix Cart is set for U.S. English with USD currency and m/d/y date format by default.<br />
<br />
==='''Set Up Locality'''===<br />
<br />
Find the following lines:<br />
<pre><br />
@setlocale(LC_ALL, ['en_US.UTF-8', 'en_US.UTF8', 'enu_usa']);<br />
<br />
$long_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />
$short_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />
$date_time_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::LONG);<br />
<br />
const DATE_FORMAT = 'm/d/Y'; // this is used for date()<br />
</pre><br />
For example, for Great Britain change:<br />
<pre><br />
@setlocale(LC_ALL, ['en_US.UTF-8', 'en_US.UTF8', 'enu_usa']);<br />
</pre><br />
to:<br />
<pre><br />

<pre><br />
const DATE_FORMAT = 'd/m/Y'; // this is used for date()<br />
</pre><br />
Change the order of month, day and year to your requirements - see <big>'''[[Date Formats Explained]]'''</big><br />
<br />
==='''Set the Currency'''===<br />
Find the following line:<br />
<pre><br />
const LANGUAGE_CURRENCY = 'USD';<br />
</pre><br />
For example, for Great Britain change to:<br />
<pre><br />
const LANGUAGE_CURRENCY = 'GBP';<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />

CE Phoenix Cart is set for U.S. English with USD currency and m/d/y date format by default.<br />
<br />
==='''Set Up Locality'''===<br />
<br />
Find the following lines:<br />
<pre><br />
@setlocale(LC_ALL, ['en_US.UTF-8', 'en_US.UTF8', 'enu_usa']);<br />
<br />
$long_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />
$short_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />
$date_time_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::LONG);<br />
<br />
const DATE_FORMAT = 'm/d/Y'; // this is used for date()<br />
</pre><br />
For example, for Great Britain change:<br />
<pre><br />
@setlocale(LC_ALL, ['en_US.UTF-8', 'en_US.UTF8', 'enu_usa']);<br />
</pre><br />
to:<br />
<pre><br />
@setlocale(LC_ALL, array('en_GB.UTF-8', 'en_GB.UTF8', 'eng_gb'));<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==='''Set the Date Format'''===<br />
<br />
For example, for Great Britain change:<br />
<pre><br />
$long_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />
$short_date_formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en', IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, IntlDateFormatter::NONE);<br />

Text can be changed in a language file.<br />
<br />
As an example here, the text shown in the e-mail notification that is sent to the customer automatically after registering on the website.<br />
<br />
Often, the language file is associated with the module that uses it.<br />
<br />
In this case, it is a '''notification''' module, so the language file will be found in '''/includes/languages/english/modules/notifications/''', specifically, '''n_create_account.php'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes it can be difficult to find which language file contains the text.<br />
<br />
To find text in a language file, use the search facility in file editing software to search your backup folder/directory - see:- <big>'''[[How to Back Up]]'''</big> and <big>'''[[Must Have Tools]]'''</big> - or at Github, where the repository for the code for CE Phoenix Cart is stored - '''https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/PhoenixCart'''<br />
<br />
So, using the CE Phoenix Cart Github Repository to search, the search box can be seen at the top of the page.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:github-search-1.jpg|link=]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
A test purchase should have been made and it will be seen that the e-mail to the customer starts with '''Welcome to'''<br />
<br />
So, search for '''Welcome to''' and click on the results for '''Search in this repository'''.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:github-search-2.jpg|link=]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Which gives a few results:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:github-search-3.jpg|link=]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
*A quick look at the results shows an obvious file:<br />
** '''includes/languages/english/modules/notifications/n_create_account.php'''<br />
*In a multi language store, the same file will also be in other language directories, for example, at:<br />
**'''includes/languages/otherLanguage/modules/notifications/n_create_account.php'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Open the language file to see the constants and their values:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:change-text-1.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
The value will be output wherever the constant is used.<br />
<br />
Note: Some language files might have the constants and values written slightly differently like:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:language-define.jpg|link=]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Open the module's template file, '''includes/modules/notifications/templates/tpl_n_create_account.php'''<br />
<br />
This shows how the constants are used and how they will be output in the e-mail:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:change-text-2.jpg|link=]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the override template.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file (presuming using English):<br />
*From the admin dashboard go to '''Tools > Language Explorer'''.<br />
*Look in the list for '''english > modules > notifications''', click the drop down arrow and see the language files associated with the modules.<br />
*See '''n_create_account.php''' which is the language file associated with the module.<br />
*Click it. This will copy the file to your template (which is override in a new install).<br />
*Now a copy of that file will be at /templates/override/includes/languages/english/modules/notifications/n_create_account.php<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/english/modules/notifications/n_create_account.php'''<br />
*Change the text as required.<br />
*If you enter any more single quotes in your text, you must use a backslash before the single quote, for example, '''don\'t'''.<br />
*Save, check and test the changes in the store. Remember to refresh/reload the page to see changes. Back up the file.<br />

==='''Language Files'''===<br />
Phoenix Cart is English by default but other Language Packs are available to download.<br />
<br />
Changes to the text shown can easily be made to localise and personalise as desired.<br />
<br />
Let's first explain a little about the basic working mechanics of Phoenix Cart.<br />
<br />
Using a new installation and the main page (home page) as an example, in your browser go to your website to see similar to this:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:shop.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Look in your browser address bar and you will see the page as '''yoursite.com/index.php''' (if it only shows '''yoursite.com''', click the store logo to refresh the page) so this page is named '''index.php'''.<br />
<br />
Note that most everything in CE Phoenix Cart is modularised so a lot of the text showing on the page will be in language files associated with those modules.<br />
<br />
As seen in the example, the page could be described in groups of modules.<br />
<br />
So, on this page, from the top, there are:<br />
*'''navbar''' modules shown in the navigation bar at the top of the page.<br />
*'''content/header''' modules shown just below the navigation bar.<br />
*'''content/index''' modules shown in the body of the page.<br />
*'''layout/index''' modules (also known as '''pi''' modules) shown in the body of the page. These are child modules of a parent content '''modular''' module.<br />
*'''content/footer''' modules shown at the base of the page.<br />
*'''content/footer-suffix''' modules shown below the footer at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
There are more modules in other groups on other pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Example'''===<br />
There are 4 modules shown in the footer with titles: '''Information''', '''Customer Services''', '''How To Contact Us''' and '''About Us'''.<br />
<br />
As an example, change the text associated with '''About Us'''.<br />
<br />
To identify the module, first go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules''' and click '''Content''' in the list.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
It is in the '''footer''' so look in the '''Group''' column list for modules in the '''footer''' group.<br />
<br />
It can be seen on the web page that the '''About Us''' section shows last in the '''footer'''.<br />
<br />
'''Text Block''' can be seen as sorted last in the list of modules in the '''footer''' Group so this is the module.<br />
<br />
<!-- So, on the server navigate to the '''/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/''' folder/directory.<br />
<br />
The file, '''cm_footer_text.php''', can be seen there.<br />
<br />
In a multi language store, the same file will also be in other language directories, for example, at:<br />
<br />
'''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
<br />
Open the language file to see the constants and their values:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer-file.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The value will be output wherever the constant is used in a file.<br />
<br />
Note: Some language files might have the constants and values written slightly differently like:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:constant-define.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
--><br />
Problems finding which file to change? Have a look at <big>'''[[How to Change Text]]'''</big><br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Edit Example'''===<br />
Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the template directory set in '''Configuration &rarr; My Store &rarr; Template Selection'''. In a new installation this is '''override'''.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location, they cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file (presuming using English):<br />
*From the admin dashboard go to '''Tools > Language Explorer'''.<br />
*Look in the list for '''english > modules > content > footer''', click the drop down arrow and see the language files associated with the modules.<br />
*See '''cm_footer_text.php''' which is the language file associated with the '''Text Block''' module.<br />
*Click it. This will copy the file to your template (which is override in a new install).<br />
*Now a copy of that file will be at /templates/override/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*See the constant '''MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_TEXT_TEXT''' has a value set as <pre><p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry\'s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p></pre><br />
*In this case, the text is formatted as a paragraph by being wrapped in HTML tags - <pre><p></pre> to start and <pre></p></pre> to end.<br />
*The value is also wrapped in single quotes.<br />
*Change the text as required.<br />
*If you enter any more single quotes in your text, you must use a backslash before the single quote, for example, '''don\'t'''.<br />
*Check and test the changes in the store. Remember to refresh/reload the page to see changes. Back up the file.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Policy Pages'''===<br />
<br />
It is important to enter your own text for the pages that customers will use before and after buying.<br />
<br />
These are the Policy pages, such as the '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''', '''Terms & Conditions''' and '''Shipping & Returns''' pages.<br />
<br />
Links to these pages can be seen in the footer of the shop.<br />
<br />
The text for the content of these pages are handled in an alternative way.<br />
<br />
The content text is not changed in Language files but is changed from admin - go to [[File:adminnavbartools.png|link=]] '''Tools → Info Pages'''<br />
<br />
For example, go to '''Tools → Info Pages''' and double click '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''' in the list to edit.<br />
<br />
Change the text '''Put here your Privacy/Cookie Policies Text.''' to your required text and click <span class="btn-green">Save</span>.<br />
<br />
The text for the module title, '''Information''' and the text for links to these pages are shown in a module in the footer and are changed in Language files.<br />
<br />
For example, to change the text that shows '''Information''', find the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_information_links.php'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps similarly to the Example above to copy into your template folder.<br />
<br />
Open the new file to see: <pre>const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE = 'Information';</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Information''' to your required text and save.<br />
<br />
Open the website page again to see your changes or if you still have the page open, refresh or reload the page to see the changes.<br />
<br />
Back up the file.<br />
<br />
The text for the links is in the same file.<br />
<br />
For example, see the lines:<br />
<pre> const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_DATA = [<br />
'privacy.php' => 'Privacy &amp; Cookie Policy',<br />
'conditions.php' => 'Terms &amp; Conditions',<br />
'shipping.php' => 'Delivery &amp; Returns',<br />
'contact_us.php' => 'Contact Us',<br />
];</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Privacy &#38;amp; Cookie Policy''' as required.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Addons'''===<br />
<br />
Other Language Packs are published in the '''Addons Library''' where the '''.zip''' files can be downloaded.<br />
*'''[https://phoenixcart.org/forum/app.php/addons/free/language-23 Language Packs]'''<br />
<br />
Language Packs are created by and maintained by volunteers so support for them is only available from the author.<br />

In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file:<br />
*In this example, in your backup folder/directory go to the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*Using your host server control panel or FTP software, upload a copy to '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/'''<br />
*Note the folder structure after '''/templates/override/''' must be the same as the original file.<br />
*New folders might need to be created in the template folder/directory to create this folder structure.<br />
*Note that '''override''' is the template set in a new installation. Ensure to upload to the template set in Configuration → My Store → Template Selection<br />
*NOTE: In recent CE Phoenix cart versions, the previous steps have been simplified by using '''Tools > Language Explorer'''<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*See the constant '''MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_TEXT_TEXT''' has a value set as <pre><p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry\'s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p></pre><br />
*In this case, the text is formatted as a paragraph by being wrapped in HTML tags - <pre><p></pre> to start and <pre></p></pre> to end.<br />
*The value is also wrapped in single quotes.<br />
*Change the text as required.<br />
*If you enter any more single quotes in your text, you must use a backslash before the single quote, for example, '''don\'t'''.<br />
*Check and test the changes in the store. Remember to refresh/reload the page to see changes. Back up the file.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Policy Pages'''===<br />
<br />
It is important to enter your own text for the pages that customers will use before and after buying.<br />
<br />
These are the Policy pages, such as the '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''', '''Terms & Conditions''' and '''Shipping & Returns''' pages.<br />
<br />
Links to these pages can be seen in the footer of the shop.<br />
<br />
The text for the content of these pages are handled in an alternative way.<br />
<br />
The content text is not changed in Language files but is changed from admin - go to [[File:adminnavbartools.png|link=]] '''Tools → Info Pages'''<br />
<br />
For example, go to '''Tools → Info Pages''' and double click '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''' in the list to edit.<br />
<br />
Change the text '''Put here your Privacy/Cookie Policies Text.''' to your required text and click <span class="btn-green">Save</span>.<br />
<br />
The text for the module title, '''Information''' and the text for links to these pages are shown in a module in the footer and are changed in Language files.<br />
<br />
For example, to change the text that shows '''Information''', find the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_information_links.php'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps similarly to the Example above to copy into your template folder.<br />
<br />
Open the new file to see: <pre>const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE = 'Information';</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Information''' to your required text and save.<br />
<br />
Open the website page again to see your changes or if you still have the page open, refresh or reload the page to see the changes.<br />
<br />
Back up the file.<br />
<br />
The text for the links is in the same file.<br />
<br />
For example, see the lines:<br />
<pre> const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_DATA = [<br />
'privacy.php' => 'Privacy &amp; Cookie Policy',<br />
'conditions.php' => 'Terms &amp; Conditions',<br />
'shipping.php' => 'Delivery &amp; Returns',<br />
'contact_us.php' => 'Contact Us',<br />
];</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Privacy &#38;amp; Cookie Policy''' as required.<br />

==='''Language Files'''===<br />
Phoenix Cart is English by default but other Language Packs are available to download.<br />
<br />
Changes to the text shown can easily be made to localise and personalise as desired.<br />
<br />
Let's first explain a little about the basic working mechanics of Phoenix Cart.<br />
<br />
Using a new installation and the main page (home page) as an example, in your browser go to your website to see similar to this:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:shop.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Look in your browser address bar and you will see the page as '''yoursite.com/index.php''' (if it only shows '''yoursite.com''', click the shop logo to refresh the page) so this page is named '''index.php'''.<br />
<br />
Note that most everything in CE Phoenix Cart is modularised so a lot of the text showing on the page will be in language files associated with those modules.<br />
<br />
As seen in the example, the page could be described in groups of modules.<br />
<br />
So, on this page, from the top, there are:<br />
*'''navbar''' modules shown in the navigation bar at the top of the page.<br />
*'''content/header''' modules shown just below the navigation bar.<br />
*'''content/index''' modules shown in the body of the page.<br />
*'''layout/index''' modules (also known as '''pi''' modules) shown in the body of the page. These are child modules of a parent content '''modular''' module.<br />
*'''content/footer''' modules shown at the base of the page.<br />
*'''content/footer-suffix''' modules shown below the footer at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
There are more modules in other groups on other pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Example'''===<br />
There are 4 modules shown in the footer with titles: '''Information''', '''Customer Services''', '''How To Contact Us''' and '''About Us'''.<br />
<br />
As an example, change the text associated with '''About Us'''.<br />
<br />
To identify the module, first go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules''' and click '''Content''' in the list.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
It is in the '''footer''' so look in the '''Group''' column list for modules in the '''footer''' group.<br />
<br />
It can be seen on the web page that the '''About Us''' section shows last in the '''footer'''.<br />
<br />
'''Text Block''' can be seen as sorted last in the list of modules in the '''footer''' Group.<br />
<br />
<!-- So, on the server navigate to the '''/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/''' folder/directory.<br />
<br />
The file, '''cm_footer_text.php''', can be seen there.<br />
<br />
In a multi language store, the same file will also be in other language directories, for example, at:<br />
<br />
'''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
<br />
Open the language file to see the constants and their values:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer-file.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The value will be output wherever the constant is used in a file.<br />
<br />
Note: Some language files might have the constants and values written slightly differently like:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:constant-define.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />

----<br />
==='''Edit Example'''===<br />
Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the template set in '''Configuration &rarr; My Store &rarr; Template Selection'''.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location, they cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />

Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the template set in '''Configuration &rarr; My Store &rarr; Template Selection'''.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location, they cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file:<br />
*In this example, in your backup folder/directory go to the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*Using your host server control panel or FTP software, upload a copy to '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/'''<br />
*Note the folder structure after '''/templates/override/''' must be the same as the original file.<br />
*New folders might need to be created in the template folder/directory to create this folder structure.<br />
*Note that '''override''' is the template set in a new installation. Ensure to upload to the template set in Configuration → My Store → Template Selection<br />
*NOTE: In recent CE Phoenix cart versions, the previous steps have been simplified by using '''Tools > Language Explorer'''<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*See the constant '''MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_TEXT_TEXT''' has a value set as <pre><p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry\'s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p></pre><br />
*In this case, the text is formatted as a paragraph by being wrapped in HTML tags - <pre><p></pre> to start and <pre></p></pre> to end.<br />
*The value is also wrapped in single quotes.<br />
*Change the text as required.<br />
*If you enter any more single quotes in your text, you must use a backslash before the single quote, for example, '''don\'t'''.<br />
*Check and test the changes in the store. Remember to refresh/reload the page to see changes. Back up the file.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Policy Pages'''===<br />
<br />
It is important to enter your own text for the pages that customers will use before and after buying.<br />
<br />
These are the Policy pages, such as the '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''', '''Terms & Conditions''' and '''Shipping & Returns''' pages.<br />
<br />
Links to these pages can be seen in the footer of the shop.<br />
<br />
The text for the content of these pages are handled in an alternative way.<br />
<br />
The content text is not changed in Language files but is changed from admin - go to [[File:adminnavbartools.png|link=]] '''Tools → Info Pages'''<br />
<br />
For example, go to '''Tools → Info Pages''' and double click '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''' in the list to edit.<br />
<br />
Change the text '''Put here your Privacy/Cookie Policies Text.''' to your required text and click <span class="btn-green">Save</span>.<br />
<br />
The text for the module title, '''Information''' and the text for links to these pages are shown in a module in the footer and are changed in Language files.<br />
<br />
For example, to change the text that shows '''Information''', find the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_information_links.php'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps similarly to the Example above to copy into your template folder.<br />
<br />
Open the new file to see: <pre>const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE = 'Information';</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Information''' to your required text and save.<br />
<br />
Open the website page again to see your changes or if you still have the page open, refresh or reload the page to see the changes.<br />
<br />
Back up the file.<br />
<br />
The text for the links is in the same file.<br />
<br />
For example, see the lines:<br />
<pre> const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_DATA = [<br />
'privacy.php' => 'Privacy &amp; Cookie Policy',<br />
'conditions.php' => 'Terms &amp; Conditions',<br />
'shipping.php' => 'Delivery &amp; Returns',<br />
'contact_us.php' => 'Contact Us',<br />
];</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Privacy &#38;amp; Cookie Policy''' as required.<br />

==='''Language Files'''===<br />
Phoenix Cart is English by default but other Language Packs are available to download.<br />
<br />
Changes to the text shown can easily be made to localise and personalise as desired.<br />
<br />
Let's first explain a little about the basic working mechanics of Phoenix Cart.<br />
<br />
Using a new installation and the main page (home page) as an example, in your browser go to your website to see similar to this:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:shop.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Look in your browser address bar and you will see the page as '''yoursite.com/index.php''' (if it only shows '''yoursite.com''', click the shop logo to refresh the page) so this page is named '''index.php'''.<br />
<br />
Note that most everything in CE Phoenix Cart is modularised so a lot of the text showing on the page will be in language files associated with those modules.<br />
<br />
As seen in the example, the page could be described in groups of modules.<br />
<br />
So, on this page, from the top, there are:<br />
*'''navbar''' modules shown in the navigation bar at the top of the page.<br />
*'''content/header''' modules shown just below the navigation bar.<br />
*'''content/index''' modules shown in the body of the page.<br />
*'''layout/index''' modules (also known as '''pi''' modules) shown in the body of the page. These are child modules of a parent content '''modular''' module.<br />
*'''content/footer''' modules shown at the base of the page.<br />
*'''content/footer-suffix''' modules shown below the footer at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
There are more modules in other groups on other pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Example'''===<br />
As an example, change the text that shows in the '''About Us''' section at the base of the page.<br />
<br />
To identify the module, first go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules''' and look in the list there.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
It is in the '''footer''' so look in the '''Group''' column list for files in the '''footer''' group.<br />
<br />
The '''About Us''' section is sorted to show last in the '''footer'''.<br />
<br />
'''Text Block''' can be seen as sorted last in the list of modules in the '''footer''' Group.<br />
<br />
So, on the server navigate to the '''/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/''' folder/directory.<br />
<br />
The file, '''cm_footer_text.php''', can be seen there.<br />
<br />
In a multi language store, the same file will also be in other language directories, for example, at:<br />
<br />
'''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
<br />
Open the language file to see the constants and their values:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer-file.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The value will be output wherever the constant is used in a file.<br />
<br />
Note: Some language files might have the constants and values written slightly differently like:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:constant-define.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />

Problems finding which file to change? Have a look at <big>'''[[How to Change Text]]'''</big><br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Edit Example'''===<br />
Changes to any language file for the Store side are made to a copy which is saved in a new location in the template set in '''Configuration &rarr; My Store &rarr; Template Selection'''.<br />
<br />
This prevents them being overwritten in updates.<br />
<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location, they cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file:<br />
*In this example, in your backup folder/directory go to the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*Using your host server control panel or FTP software, upload a copy to '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/'''<br />
*Note the folder structure after '''/templates/override/''' must be the same as the original file.<br />
*New folders might need to be created in the template folder/directory to create this folder structure.<br />
*Note that '''override''' is the template set in a new installation. Ensure to upload to the template set in Configuration → My Store → Template Selection<br />
*NOTE: In recent CE Phoenix cart versions, the previous steps have been simplified by using '''Tools > Language Explorer'''<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*See the constant '''MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_TEXT_TEXT''' has a value set as <pre><p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry\'s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p></pre><br />
*In this case, the text is formatted as a paragraph by being wrapped in HTML tags - <pre><p></pre> to start and <pre></p></pre> to end.<br />
*The value is also wrapped in single quotes.<br />
*Change the text as required.<br />
*If you enter any more single quotes in your text, you must use a backslash before the single quote, for example, '''don\'t'''.<br />
*Check and test the changes in the store. Remember to refresh/reload the page to see changes. Back up the file.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Policy Pages'''===<br />
<br />
It is important to enter your own text for the pages that customers will use before and after buying.<br />
<br />
These are the Policy pages, such as the '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''', '''Terms & Conditions''' and '''Shipping & Returns''' pages.<br />
<br />
Links to these pages can be seen in the footer of the shop.<br />
<br />
The text for the content of these pages are handled in an alternative way.<br />
<br />
The content text is not changed in Language files but is changed from admin - go to [[File:adminnavbartools.png|link=]] '''Tools → Info Pages'''<br />
<br />
For example, go to '''Tools → Info Pages''' and double click '''Privacy & Cookie Policy''' in the list to edit.<br />
<br />
Change the text '''Put here your Privacy/Cookie Policies Text.''' to your required text and click <span class="btn-green">Save</span>.<br />
<br />
The text for the module title, '''Information''' and the text for links to these pages are shown in a module in the footer and are changed in Language files.<br />
<br />
For example, to change the text that shows '''Information''', find the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_information_links.php'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps similarly to the Example above to copy into your template folder.<br />
<br />
Open the new file to see: <pre>const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE = 'Information';</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Information''' to your required text and save.<br />
<br />
Open the website page again to see your changes or if you still have the page open, refresh or reload the page to see the changes.<br />
<br />
Back up the file.<br />
<br />
The text for the links is in the same file.<br />
<br />
For example, see the lines:<br />
<pre> const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_DATA = [<br />
'privacy.php' => 'Privacy &amp; Cookie Policy',<br />
'conditions.php' => 'Terms &amp; Conditions',<br />
'shipping.php' => 'Delivery &amp; Returns',<br />
'contact_us.php' => 'Contact Us',<br />
];</pre><br />
<br />
Change '''Privacy &#38;amp; Cookie Policy''' as required.<br />
<br />
<br />

__FORCETOC__<br />
==='''Language Files'''===<br />
Phoenix Cart is U.S. English by default but other Language Packs are available to download.<br />
<br />
Changes to the text shown in the shop can easily be made to localise and personalise the shop to suit you.<br />
<br />
Let's first explain a little about the basic working mechanics of Phoenix Cart.<br />
<br />
Using a new installation and the main page (home page) as an example, in your browser go to your website to see similar to this:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:shop.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Look in your browser address bar and you will see the page as '''yoursite.com/index.php''' (if it only shows '''yoursite.com''', click the shop logo to refresh the page) so this page is named '''index.php'''.<br />
<br />
Note that most everything in CE Phoenix Cart is modularised so a lot of the text showing on the page will be in language files associated with those modules.<br />
<br />
As seen in the example, the page could be described in groups of modules.<br />
<br />
So, on this page, from the top, there are:<br />
*'''navbar''' modules shown in the navigation bar at the top of the page.<br />
*'''content/header''' modules shown just below the navigation bar.<br />
*'''content/index''' modules shown in the central page contents specific to this page i.e. '''index'''<br />
*'''content/footer''' modules shown at the base of the page.<br />
*'''content/footer-suffix''' modules shown below the footer at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
There are more modules in other groups on other pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Example'''===<br />
As an example, change the text that shows in the '''About Us''' section at the base of the page.<br />
<br />
To identify the module, first go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules''' and look in the list there.<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
It is in the '''footer''' so look in the '''Group''' column list for files in the '''footer''' group.<br />
<br />
The '''About Us''' section is sorted to show last in the '''footer'''.<br />
<br />
'''Text Block''' can be seen as sorted last in the list of modules in the '''footer''' Group.<br />
<br />
So, on the server navigate to the '''/includes/languages/english/modules/content/footer/''' folder/directory.<br />
<br />
The file, '''cm_footer_text.php''', can be seen there.<br />
<br />
In a multi language store, the same file will also be in other language directories, for example, at:<br />
<br />
'''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
<br />
Open the language file to see the constants and their values:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:modules-content-footer-file.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
The value will be output wherever the constant is used in a file.<br />
<br />
Note: Some language files might have the constants and values written slightly differently like:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:constant-define.jpg|link=|]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Problems finding which file to change? Have a look at <big>'''[[How to Change Text]]'''</big><br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
==='''Edit Example'''===<br />

<br />
Changes to any language file for the Admin side are saved in the original location, they cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
If making a change to an Admin side language file, backup that file before and after making changes to the file on the server.<br />
<br />
In every case, backup files before and after editing.<br />
<br />
Making a change to a Store side language file:<br />
*In this example, in your backup folder/directory go to the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*Using your host server control panel or FTP software, upload a copy to '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/'''<br />
*Note the folder structure after '''/templates/override/''' must be the same as the original file.<br />
*New folders might need to be created in the template folder/directory to create this folder structure.<br />
*Note that '''override''' is the template set in a new installation. Ensure to upload to the template set in Configuration → My Store → Template Selection<br />
*Open the new file '''/templates/override/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_text.php'''<br />
*See the constant '''MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_TEXT_TEXT''' has a value set as <pre><p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry\'s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p></pre><br />
*In this case, the text is formatted as a paragraph by being wrapped in HTML tags - <pre><p></pre> to start and <pre></p></pre> to end.<br />

<br />
The text for the module title, '''Information''' and the text for links to these pages are shown in a module in the footer and are changed in Language files.<br />
<br />
For example, to change the text that shows '''Information''', find the file '''/includes/languages/yourLanguage/modules/content/footer/cm_footer_information_links.php'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps similarly to the Example above to copy into your template folder.<br />
<br />
Open the new file to see: <pre>const MODULE_CONTENT_FOOTER_INFORMATION_HEADING_TITLE = 'Information';</pre><br />

__FORCETOC__<br />
From admin go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules → Payment''' - you will see this:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:payment.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
==='''Cash On Delivery'''===<br />
This is installed by default as an example.<br />
<br />
It allows checkout without payment.<br />
<br />
It is commonly used by store owners to perform a test checkout.<br />
<br />
Disable or remove/uninstall if it is not required.<br />
<br />
==='''Check/Money Order'''===<br />
This is installed by default as an example.<br />
<br />
It allows checkout without payment for subsequent payment by Check/Money Order.<br />
<br />
Edit the module to set '''Make Payable to:'''<br />
<br />
This will add the following section to the '''Checkout Confirmation''' (checkout_confirmation.php) page:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:check-moneyorder.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Disable or remove/uninstall if it is not required.<br />
<br />
==='''Paypal Standard'''===<br />
Paypal Standard is a basic payment integration that transfers the customer away from your site to Paypal on checkout confirmation, and returns them when the paypal payment is completed. Paypal also lets your site know about the payment (and any subsequent changes) by Instant Payment Notifications. If the customer does not return after a successful payment (e.g. their connection drops) the IPN will still confirm the order. More sophisticated Paypal integration is available in Phoenix Cart Addons area.<br />
<br />
'''Seller Email'''<br />
<br />
This is the email you are using to collect payments.<br />
<br />
'''Primary Paypal email'''<br />
<br />
This is left blank for many sites, it is only needed if you are sending payments to an additional email on your paypal account.<br />
<br />
'''PDT Identity Token'''<br />
<br />
This is used to verify returned info from paypal to prevent your payments being hijacked. To find it:<br />
<br />
Log into your paypal account.<br />
<br />
On the dropdown on your name in the top right, choose account settings.<br />
<br />
Under Products and Services on the left, choose Website payments.<br />
<br />
Find Website Preferences in the list and choose Update.<br />
<br />
Now on this page:<br />
<br />
-- set Auto return to On and set the return url to that displayed in the module admin and click Save<br />
<br />
-- in the next section, set Payment data transfer to On<br />
<br />
-- an identity token should have appeared magically, if it didn't appear toggle pdt off and back on again; copy the token to your module settings<br />
<br />
Click Back to Profile at the top and scroll down to Instant Payment Notifications and choose Update<br />
<br />
-- copy the notification url from your module<br />
<br />
'''Transaction Method'''<br />
<br />
For payments to be taken straight away on checkout, choose Sale. If set to Authorize, you need to capture the payment later in your Paypal account, e.g. when the stock has been sourced.<br />
<br />
'''Invoice Prefix'''<br />
<br />
If you have multiple online stores connecting to the same Paypal account, set an invoice prefix to avoid problems with duplicate invoice numbers.<br />
<br />
==='''Stripe SCA'''===<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
The basic configuration of the Stripe SCA module is the same as the standard Stripe module, requiring Publishable and Secret API keys, however as the order fulfillment has been moved to a webhook, you need to add the address of the Stripe SCA webhook at your store to your Stripe account dashboard, and add the webhook signing secret it generates to the Stripe SCA payment module configuration.<br />
<br />
Login to your account at the Stripe web site, and select Developers > Webhooks<br />
<br />
select '+ Add endpoint' at the upper right of the page<br />
<br />
set the URL to: <pre>https://yourstore.url/ext/modules/payment/stripe_sca/webhook.php</pre><br />
<br />
select version as 'Latest API version'<br />
<br />
select event 'payment_intent.succeeded' and 'payment_intent.payment_failed'<br />
<br />
click 'add endpoint' to save the webhook endpoint.<br />
<br />
Then select the new endpoint URL from the list of end points, and then 'click to reveal' to see the Signing Secret. Copy and paste the text of the signing secret to the Webhook Signing Secret in the Stripe SCA module configuration form.<br />
<br />
Note that the 'view test data' switch at the Stripe dashboard toggles between live and test modes, and there are separate API keys and webhooks in each mode. You have to create a webhook endpoint in the test mode to be used in testing the module. If your test environment is on a local network machine that is not directly accessible from the internet, you can create a free account at ngrok.com, to create a tunnel to the webhook URL on your local test machine. See https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/setup for more details.<br />
<br />
The Stripe SCA module adds a log table, stripe_event_log, to the database, and if you select 'Log events?' in the Stripe SCA configuration, it will record each Stripe API call with the parameters that are passed to Stripe and the response received.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

==='''Edit Modules'''===<br />
*To edit a module, click on the module in the list to select it.<br />
*Click <span class="btn-yellow">Edit</span><br />
*Enable/Disable module by setting to '''True''' or '''False''' as required or click on the item in the list and click <span class="btn-yellow">Remove Module</span> to remove/uninstall it if required.<br />
*Apply this payment module to a defined Tax Zone by choosing it in the drop down menu below '''Payment Zone''' or leave as '''--none--''' to apply the payment module to all Tax Zones.<br />
*Leave '''Set Order Status''' as '''default''' unless otherwise required.<br />
*Enter a '''Sort Order of display''' value. Do not leave '''0''' as the '''Sort Order''' on modules as it can cause problems. You can give it any number, in this case enter '''10''' so if you decide to install another module it leaves the option of entering a lesser value for the next if required.<br />
*Click <span class="btn-green">Save</span><br />

__FORCETOC__<br />
From admin go to [[File:adminnavbarmod.png|link=]] '''Modules → Payment''' - you will see this:<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:payment.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
==='''Cash On Delivery'''===<br />
This is installed by default as an example.<br />
<br />
It allows checkout without payment.<br />
<br />
It is commonly used by store owners to perform a test checkout.<br />
<br />
Disable or remove/uninstall if it is not required.<br />
<br />
==='''Check/Money Order'''===<br />
This is installed by default as an example.<br />
<br />
It allows checkout without payment for subsequent payment by Check/Money Order.<br />
<br />
Edit the module to set '''Make Payable to:'''<br />
<br />
This will add the following section to the '''Checkout Confirmation''' (checkout_confirmation.php) page:<br />
<br />
<div class="mainpage_box"><br />
[[File:check-moneyorder.jpg|link=|1500px]]<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Disable or remove/uninstall if it is not required.<br />
<br />
==='''Paypal Standard'''===<br />
Paypal Standard is a basic payment integration that transfers the customer away from your site to Paypal on checkout confirmation, and returns them when the paypal payment is completed. Paypal also lets your site know about the payment (and any subsequent changes) by Instant Payment Notifications. If the customer does not return after a successful payment (e.g. their connection drops) the IPN will still confirm the order. More sophisticated Paypal integration is available in Phoenix Cart Addons area.<br />
<br />
'''Seller Email'''<br />
<br />
This is the email you are using to collect payments.<br />
<br />
'''Primary Paypal email'''<br />
<br />
This is left blank for many sites, it is only needed if you are sending payments to an additional email on your paypal account.<br />
<br />
'''PDT Identity Token'''<br />
<br />
This is used to verify returned info from paypal to prevent your payments being hijacked. To find it:<br />
<br />
Log into your paypal account.<br />
<br />
On the dropdown on your name in the top right, choose account settings.<br />
<br />
Under Products and Services on the left, choose Website payments.<br />
<br />
Find Website Preferences in the list and choose Update.<br />
<br />
Now on this page:<br />
<br />
-- set Auto return to On and set the return url to that displayed in the module admin and click Save<br />
<br />
-- in the next section, set Payment data transfer to On<br />
<br />
-- an identity token should have appeared magically, if it didn't appear toggle pdt off and back on again; copy the token to your module settings<br />
<br />
Click Back to Profile at the top and scroll down to Instant Payment Notifications and choose Update<br />
<br />
-- copy the notification url from your module<br />
<br />
'''Transaction Method'''<br />
<br />
For payments to be taken straight away on checkout, choose Sale. If set to Authorize, you need to capture the payment later in your Paypal account, e.g. when the stock has been sourced.<br />
<br />
'''Invoice Prefix'''<br />
<br />
If you have multiple online stores connecting to the same Paypal account, set an invoice prefix to avoid problems with duplicate invoice numbers.<br />
<br />
==='''Stripe SCA'''===<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
The basic configuration of the Stripe SCA module is the same as the standard Stripe module, requiring Publishable and Secret API keys, however as the order fulfillment has been moved to a webhook, you need to add the address of the Stripe SCA webhook at your store to your Stripe account dashboard, and add the webhook signing secret it generates to the Stripe SCA payment module configuration.<br />
<br />
Login to your account at the Stripe web site, and select Developers > Webhooks<br />
<br />
select '+ Add endpoint' at the upper right of the page<br />
<br />
set the URL to: https://yourstore.url/ext/modules/payment/stripe_sca/webhook.php<br />
<br />
select version as 'Latest API version'<br />
<br />
select event 'payment_intent.succeeded' and 'payment_intent.payment_failed'<br />
<br />
click 'add endpoint' to save the webhook endpoint.<br />
<br />
Then select the new endpoint URL from the list of end points, and then 'click to reveal' to see the Signing Secret. Copy and paste the text of the signing secret to the Webhook Signing Secret in the Stripe SCA module configuration form.<br />
<br />
Note that the 'view test data' switch at the Stripe dashboard toggles between live and test modes, and there are seperate API keys and webhooks in each mode. You have to create a webhook endpoint in the test mode to be used in testing the module. If your test environment is on a local network machine that is not directly accessible from the internet, you can create a free account at ngrok.com, to create a tunnel to the webhook URL on your local test machine. See https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/setup for more details.<br />
<br />
The Stripe SCA module adds a log table, stripe_event_log, to the database, and if you select 'Log events?' in the Stripe SCA configuration, it will record each Stripe API call with the parameters that are passed to Stripe and the response received.<br />
<br />

==='''CE Phoenix Cart User Guide'''===<br />
<big>Phoenix Cart User Guide provides all the step by step guides needed to set up and operate an online store to its full potential as well as many other tips and tricks.<br />
<br />
From first time download and installation, to all the tools and features used in Admin to configure and manage the Store.</big><br />

<br />
==='''CE Phoenix Cart Features'''===<br />
<big>CE Phoenix Cart is e-commerce software, looking great and ready to use out of the box but designed to help you quickly create a highly personalised online store.<br />
<br />
Easily extend functionality with additions from our packed '''[https://phoenixcart.org/forum/addons/ Addons Library]'''.<br />
<br />
Sell unlimited products, including downloadable digital products, in any number of categories in any currency to reach customers worldwide who will love the modern, responsive design that displays well on any device.<br />
<br />
Our unique features set us way above the competition such as, for examples:<br />
<br />
*A super light yet powerful code base.<br />
<br />
*A standard modular design throughout makes extension and customisation with Addons easy work.<br />
<br />
*An additional '''Layout''' modular system further allows easy design layout of Store pages in a myriad of ways, only limited by imagination.<br />
<br />
*Our unique '''Queued E-mails''' system provides a virtually 'Set & Forget' method of Customer Relationship Management.<br />
<br />
*It is our hooking system (preplaced hooks throughout the code that allow for easy code extensions) that really makes us popular with both store-owners and developers. Unlike any other free e-commerce software we know.</big><br />
