Part 4: Understanding How the SchoolMaker Cart Works
Step 1: Go to your offer dashboard
Click on the Dashboard tab.
Step 2: Understand the Dashboard
On the Dashboard, there are two types of pages.
The offer page and the payment pages.
1) The offer page: it lists the different payment pages that you have created on the offer
2) The payment page: allows members to fill in their personal information and their credit card to purchase the offer.
Step 3: Click on the offer page
Click the "see" button next to "Offer Page".
Step 4: Understand the offer page
This page is made up of 4 configurable elements:
1) The thumbnail of the offer
2) The name of the offer
3) The description of the offer
4) Bid prices
The prospect/customer who arrives on this page must click on one of the two payment methods and then click on the buy button.
Step 5: Open payment page
1) Close the offer page.
2) Open the first payment page by clicking on the "see" button.
Step 6: Understand payment page
1) On the upper part of the payment page we find the same information as on the offer page: thumbnail, name and description of the offer.
Then the members find the different fields that the members will have to fill in to join the offer
2) An "Email" field where customers must enter their email address.
3) A "Credit Card" field where customers will need to fill in their card information.
4) A "Card name" field where customers must indicate their first and last name.
Bonus Part: Add Member School Shopping Pages URL
Step 1: Understand the program display
When a member joins one of your programs, he has access to his program in the "program of his "school" menu.
Following the programs he has purchased there is the list of programs he has not yet purchased (and which are not configured as a "secret program").
In the following image you can see:
1) A purchased program
2) A program that is not yet purchased
Step 2: Understand adding the URL
In the program settings, you can add the link to the payment page.
Once the link is added a button will appear and allow the member to open the payment page when clicked.
In this example, I'm going to assume that you want to add a URL directly to a SchoolMaker payment page.
However, you can send your member to another page, just add the URL of the page of your choice.
Step 3: Copy the URL of your payment page (or sales page)
Follow the steps below to copy the URL of a payment page generated on SchoolMaker:
1) Click on the "Offers" menu of your school.
2) Choose the offer of your choice and click on it to open it.
3) Highlight your payment page link and click "copy".
Step 4: Go to program settings
Follow the steps below to get to the program settings:
1) Click on the "Programs" menu of your school.
2) Choose the program on which you want to add the link and open it by clicking on it.
3) Open the program settings by clicking on the gear.
Step 5: Add Purchase page URL
1) In the field "Purchase page URL" paste the link to the payment page.
2) Click on "save".
