DISPLAYING COMPLETE ORDER
THE TOTAL TEMPLATE

Features and Details of the Total Template

  • The Total Template supports purchases with Credit Cards and/or EFT.
  • Shipping, Billing, Credit Card, Internet Check, and Sales Fields are pre-built functions in the total template.
  • Additional fields can be created and stored to an extra database.

The Total Template

You can start your total template 3 different ways:

  • ##TP_BeginForm##
  • ##TP_BeginForm2##
  • <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="cgi-bin/transaction.exe">

Use ##TP_BeginForm## to start your return if you have SSL on your site. Use ##TP_BeginForm2## if you don't have SSL. The Form call is an optional method for ##TP_BeginForm##.

##TP_Table## or ##TP_CUSTOM_TABLE##

The TP_Table tag is the second tag within the body of the Total form. You can use <center> or other formatting tags around the TP_Table tag to adjust it to your design. If you are using the custom table feature, you'll need to create a separate file that will be pulled in when the ##TP_CUSTOM_TABLE## tag is used:

<input type="hidden" name="totaltable" value="\path\filename.htm">


Template Tag

You'll need to specify a page that will be displayed once the Purchase button is clicked. You can either specify a generic nextpage which will thank your customer for their order, or process their transaction in real-time:

<input type="hidden" name="nextpage" value="/thankyou.htm">
Or
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="\checkorder.htm">


##TP_CUSTOM_SUBTOTAL## includes the Subtotal on the page.
##TP_CUSTOM_SHIPPING## displays total shipping charges on web page.

<input type="hidden" name="ShipTotal" Value="##TP_CUSTOM_SHIPPING##">

##TP_CUSTOM_TAX## displays total tax charges on web page.

<input type="hidden" name="Tax" Value="##TP_CUSTOM_TAX##">

<input type="hidden" name="TP_TAXDATA" value="##TAXDATA##">
<input type="hidden" name="TP_SHIPTYPE" value="##TP_SHIPTYPE##">

Data Capture Fields

There are several fields that allow you to capture almost any kind of data you can think of. Please see the List of Fieldnames in the Reference section for a complete listing of the fields available.
