eCatalogs

Find this feature

From the Main Menu of your Site Manager, click ECatalogs (in the Marketing column).

eCatalogs

Select eCatalogs that you want on your site, and unselect ones that you do not wish to show up.

You will only see eCatalogs that you have purchased.  To purchase eCatalogs, please contact our Web Promotions department at 888-919-7627.

Download eCatalogs

eCatalog downloads is a paid feature.  If you do not see the Download eCatalog link on your eCatalogs page, then contact Web Promotions at 888-919-7627.

You can download a digital copy of the eCatalog to your computer.  You can then burn this to a CD to take it to other computers, or run it on a computer with no Internet connection (like a notebook at a swap meet) to show the products to your customers.

First, download an eCatalog, then download the eCatalog Key File to the eCatalog.

Download eCatalog

·    Click Download eCatalog for the eCatalog you wish to download

·    Click Save

·    Choose a location to save it, and click Save

·    Click Open Folder and extract the files to a folder

Save the Key File

·    Click Download eCatalog Key File

·    Click Save

·    Save the file to a sub-folder called incFiles in the eCatalog folder you just made

o  Example:

·    When it asks you if you wish to overwrite the file that is already there, click Yes

View the eCatalog

·    To view the eCatalog, double-click the index.html file in the eCatalog folder

You can now view this eCatalog offline.  For instance, if you take a notebook computer to a home party, trade show, or flea market, you can show an entire catalog in digital format.

You can also burn this eCatalog to a CD to give or mail to potential customers.

When a shopper views the eCatalog on a computer which is connected to the Internet, clicking an item takes the shopper to the site and displays the item details.  The shopper can then add the item to their shopping cart.

Affiliate eCatalog Downloads

There is also a feature to allow your affiliates to download the eCatalog.  When they refer shoppers to your site through the downloaded eCatalog, they can earn commission.  To activate this feature for a particular affiliate, edit an affiliate’s account, and select the Enable eCatalog download box.  To learn about editing affiliate accounts, see the All Affiliates topic.

Once you have approved an affiliate to download eCatalogs and they sign into the affiliate section of your site, they can click Download eCatalog to access your downloadable eCatalogs.

The eCatalog download screen shows them the eCatalogs available for download on your site, and gives instructions on how to download the eCatalog, save the key file, and view it.
