Streamlined Checkout does not require the shopper to sign in.
If the shopper is new and does not have an account Streamlined Checkout™ automatically
      creates the shopper's account after the Continue button has been clicked.
The username (email address) and password for the new account is emailed to the shopper
      automatically.
If the shopper already has an account but has not signed in, Streamlined Checkout™ signs
      her in automatically when the Continue button is clicked.
If the shopper is already signed in, or signs in during checkout:
The address books are populated, and the address fields are populated with his/her original
      billing and/or shipping address information.
Streamlined Checkout™ can be optionally configured to require sign-in for new and/or
      existing shoppers.
Billing information, shipping information, shipping methods, and payment methods are all
      neatly displayed on the same page.
Shipping methods include every configured choice (including premium shipping), all in one
      radio-button list, sorted by price.
For carrier-based rates, every configured choice from every configured carrier is visible, all in
      one radio-button list, along with at least one Check Shipping Rates button. When clicked, the
      rates of all the corresponding shipping carriers and choices will be appended to the right of
      each choice respectively and sorted by price.
The Check Shipping Rates buttons only require that a minimum of city, state, postal code, and
      country be provided.
The shopper can view rates for different delivery areas by changing the city, state, zip, and
      country, and then clicking the .Refresh Shipping Rates. button.
If the shopper does not care to know the cost of his/her shipping choice, he/she can continue
      without clicking the Check Shipping Rates button. The cost of his/her choice will
      automatically be retrieved.
If the carrier rate servers cannot be reached, the backup shipping choices will be displayed.
Payment methods include every configured payment choice and option, all in one radio-button
      list.
Streamlined Checkout™ does not require the shopper to enter a shipping address. If no
      shipping address is entered, it is assumed to be the same as the billing address. Also, if the
      shopping cart contains no shippable items, only the billing information will be displayed.
The Address ID field is optionally not required. If the shopper does not provide an address
      ID, an appropriate ID is automatically created for her. Also, Address ID is the last field to be
      filled in, allowing the shopper to begin with his first name to minimize confusion when filling
      in the form.
Help hyperlinks are displayed for items that shoppers may have questions about, such as the
      Address Book, Address ID fields, etc. The help hyperlinks display pop-up windows containing
      the appropriate help content.
Streamlined Checkout™ validates required fields at the client via JavaScript, so that the
      shopper does not have to wait for the page to reload to discover his mistake.
Redundant validation occurs at the server to guard against spoofing the store.

Configuration Tips
These questions frequently come up when configuring Streamlined Checkout™ for the first time.

Ship From Address for Carrier Based Shipping
If you are configuring StoreFront™ for use with using carrier-based shipping, do not forget to specify the Ship From Address. Carrier-based rates will fail if no Ship-From address is specified.

Products with Zero Weight
Carrier based rates will not be returned for items with zero (0) weight. Make sure that all of your product weights are defined if you are using carrier based shipping.

No Shippable Products
If the shopping cart contains no shippable items, the shopper will not be prompted for any shipping related information. If no shipping information is displayed for a particular product, check to make sure that that product has been defined as shippable within the Products/Fulfillment section of Merchant Tools.

Free Shipping Configuration
If you have specified the Free_Ship_By_Product="True" parameter (see Parameter Definitions below) then regardless of the configured ship method, if a product's ship price is defined as 0 (zero), that product will be treated as a Free Shipping product. This gives you the ability to run free shipping promotions on an individual product basis.

Free Shipping Coupons
Streamlined Checkout™ automatically supports the use of free shipping coupons. To take advantage of this feature, simply create a coupon within StoreFront™ Merchant Tools as follows:
    i) Coupon Description: Free Shipping
        (1) The description must contain the phrase Free Shipping (not case sensitive)
    ii) Amount: 0
        (1) You can specify a discount amount other than 0 (zero) if you chose, but it will discount
              the order by the specified amount and apply free shipping to the order.
    iii) Note: The term Free Shipping should be in the coupon description, not the coupon name.
        StoreFront™ does not allow spaces in coupon names. The coupon may appear to work,
        but it will be lost during the checkout process. This happens regardless of
        Streamlined Checkout™ being installed on a SF site.


Parameter Definitions
To change the default settings used for Streamlined Checkout,™ edit following parameters can be added to the <PENDX:SC> tag located in the root/ssl/shipping.aspx file. The values specified below represent the default values that will be used if the parameters are not specified.

1) Containing_Page_Name="Shipping.aspx"
    This specifies the name of the page that contains Streamlined Checkout™. Any name other
    than the default would require modifications to other StoreFront™ files in order for
    Streamlined Checkout to work.

2) Help_PopUp_Path="PopUpHelp/"
    This specifies the path to the help pop-up files. This value will be prefixed with the secure url
    of your website, e.g. https://www.yourstore/ssl/.

3) Address_ID_Required="false"
    Specifies whether or not the Address ID fields will be treated as required fields during
    validation.  If set to "true", the Address ID fields will be displayed with the red required field
    asterisks (*).

4) Email_Password="true"
    Specifies whether or not a Welcome notification email will be sent to new shoppers.

5) Default_State="Not Applicable"
    Specifies which state will automatically be selected in the State/Province dropdown lists.
    This value must match (case sensitive) a state within the SelectState table of the StoreFront™
    database.  To disable this option, set the value to 'none.'

6) Default_Country="United States"
    Specifies which country will automatically be selected in the Country dropdown lists.
    This value must match (case sensitive) a country within the SelectCountry table of the
    StoreFront™ database.  To disable this option, set the value to 'none.'

7) Standard_Shipping_Label="Best-Way Ground"
    Specifies the label that will be used for non carrier-based standard product-based or value-
    based shipping.

8) Free_Shipping_Label="Free"
    Specifies the label that will be used when a shopper's cart qualifies for free-shipping.

9) UPS_Residential = "true"
    This parameter applies to StoreFront™ versions 6.1.1 and higher, and it specifies whether UPS
    will calculate residential rates rather than commercial rates.

10) Adjust_Weights="false"
     FEDEX rate servers will not return a rate for cart items that have a total weight (item
     quantity) of less than 1 pound.
     When Adjust_Weights="true", Streamlined Checkout™ will automatically adjust the weight of
     individual cart items weighing less than 1 pound, so that the total weight (item quantity)
     = 1 pound. If you do not have FEDEX enabled, or you have no products in your database
     that weigh less than 1 pound, set Adjust_Weights="false", and this step will be skipped.
     Note: Regardless of the value of Adjust_Weights, this step will not be performed for UPS
     rates because UPS handles this automatically.
     This will also work with any other rate server that will not handle weights less than 1 pound.
     Item weights are not permanently changed. This is only for purposes of acquiring ship rates.

11) PayMethod_List_Columns="2"
     Specifies the number of columns that will be displayed in the Payment Methods radio button
     list. This is for aesthetic purposes and is up to your discretion.

12) Show_Email_Subscription="true"
     This specifies whether or not the email subscription box will be displayed.

13) Show_Email_Disclaimer="false"
     This specifies whether or not the email subscription disclaimer will be displayed.
     This option is dependant upon the value of Show_Email_Subscription.
     The email disclaimer contains a pop-up hyperlink link that points to
     https://www.yourstore/ssl/.  PrivacyPopUp.htm. PrivacyPopUp.htm, with empty content,
     is included in the SC2_x_x.zip file.

14) Subscription_Info_Field_Name=""
     This is used to specify the field name that can be appended to the Customers table for
     purposes of tracking extended subscription information.
     Modifying this value requires that Optional Features for saving Email subscriptions below be
     completed in order for Streamlined Checkout to work.

15) Shipping_Base_Rate=""
     This applies to carrier-based rates, and it allows you to specify a base carrier rate that must
     always be present. The rate specified must be identical (case sensitive) to a value that is
     marked as active in the Shipping table.
     If the carrier results do not include the value specified in Shipping_Base_Rate, backup
     shipping will be added to the list of carrier results. The idea being . what if the carrier results
     only contain expensive, air shipping choices. This is possible if your active shipping methods
     were UPS Ground, FEDEX 2day, FEDEX Express Saver, and FEDEX Overnight. If the UPS
     server were down, your only choices would be the expensive FEDEX Air choices.
     Use caution with this parameter. If Shipping_Base_Rate="UPS Ground" and your shopper lives
     in Hawaii, UPS Ground will not be returned, because you cannot ship ground to Hawaii. In this
     scenario, you would not want backup (ground) shipping to be added to the carrier results.

16) Email_Errors="true"
     This option allows any Streamlined Checkout™ errors that occur (fatal or non-fatal) to be
     emailed to Streamlined Checkout™ support in real time. This allows Streamlined Checkout™
     support to proactively address unforeseen problems and distribute the appropriate patches
     and updates.  In case of an error, the following information will be sent:
        i) Your Store Name and URL.
        ii) The URL of the page that immediately precedes the error.
        iii) The error description.
      We recommend you keep this option set to "true", as it is a valuable debugging tool. If
      you have privacy concerns regarding this option, please email us at
      support@streamlinedcheckout.com. We employ strong measures to protect the privacy of our
      customers.

17) Base_Carrier_Rates="03;1010;Parcel;FDXGD92"
     This specifies which carrier rates will not be displayed if the order qualifies for free shipping.
     Values separated by semi-colons represent entries in the Shipping Table of the StoreFront™
     database (use the value found in the Code field). The default values specify all of ground
     carrier methods. Therefore, if the order qualifies for free shipping, only the expedited carrier
     methods will be displayed along with the free shipping option.

18) Base_Custom_Rates="1"
     This option only applies if Custom_Ship="true".
     This specifies which custom rates will not be displayed if the order qualifies for free shipping.
     The values separated by semi-colons represent entries in the PENDX_ShipMethods Table of
     the StoreFront™ database (use the value found in the keyID field). The default value
     specifies first entry in the table.

19) Incremental_Premium="[Premium Shipping amt specified in Merchant Tools]"
     This applies to the Premium Shipping option, which is available if you are using Product or
     Value based shipping (as defined in Merchant Tools).
     The incremental rate is applied when multiple quantities of the same item are added to the
     cart. The Premium amount will be applied to the first item, and the amount specified for
     Incremental_Premium will be added for each additional quantity of the same item.

20) Premium_Calc="order"
     This applies to the Premium Shipping option, which is available if you are using Product or
     Value based shipping (as defined in Merchant Tools).
     The Premium amount can be calculated per order or per cart item. Valid values for the
     parameter are:
         i) "order" (default)
         ii) "item"

21) Require_SignIn="none"
     This allows you to force shoppers to sign in prior to completing the checkout. Valid values for
     this parameter are:
         i) "none" (default)
            (1) No sign-in is required.
         ii) "new"
            (1) Only new shoppers are required to sign-in.
         iii) "old"
             (1) Only existing shoppers are required to sign-in.
         iv) "both"
             (1) All shoppers are required to sign-in.

22) Disable_AddressBook="false"
     Setting this parameter to "true" will disable the Address Book feature.

23) SF_Standard_Constraint="N" and SF_Premium_Constraint="N"

     If you have setup the PENDX_LocationConstraints table in your StoreFront™ database, then
     you can specify the following values for this parameter:
         i) N = (None) no geographical constraints apply (default)
         ii) I = (Include) only allow shipping to locations that are specified in the
            PENDX_LocationConstraints table.
        iii) E = (Exclude) do not allow shipping to locations that are specified in the
            PENDX_LocationConstraints table.

24) SF_Standard_Constraint_Type="2" and SF_Premium_Constraint_Type="2"
      This applies to geographical shipping constraints (see Optional Features section 4).
      If you have setup the PENDX_LocationConstraints table in your StoreFront™ database, then
      you can specify the following values for this parameter, which specifies which value will be
     used to check the constraint:
         i) "1" Postal Code
         ii) "2" State (default)
        iii) "3" Country

25) Free_Ship_By_Product="false"
     Setting this parameter to "true" allows you to specify free shipping per individual product by
     setting the Ship Price of the respective product(s) to zero (0) within the Products/Fulfillment
     section of Merchant Tools.

26) Custom_Ship="false"
     Set this value to "true" to enable Streamlined Checkout™  Custom Shipping methods (see
     Optional Features below).

27) Sort_By_Price="true"
     This applies to StoreFront™ carrier shipping rates and Streamlined Checkout™ custom
     shipping rates. When Check Rates button is clicked within the Order Information page and
     rates are acquired, shipping methods are sorted by price lowest to highest. If
     Sort_By_Price="false" then the rates will not be resorted by price, rather they will remain in
     the same sort order as specified in Streamlined Checkout™ Admin page and/or the
     PENDX_ShipMethods table.

28) SF_Standard_Carrier="" and SF_Premium_Carrier=""
     These parameters allow you to associate carriers with the non-carrier StoreFront™ shipping
     methods.

29) Hide_PayMethods="false"
     If this parameter is set to true, the payment method radio-button list will be hidden from the
     shopper and the first item in the list will be automatically selected. You can adjust the sort   
     order of the payment methods list from Streamlined Checkout™ Admin page.

30) AlterXcarrierResults="false"
     Setting this parameter to true allows you to alter the extended carrier results that are
     returned by the USPS International and FreightQuote carrier methods. Optional Features

     geographically constrained (see Optional Features below).

33) ShipCalcA_Minimum
     This parameter allows you to change the minimum product ship-price that must be exceeded
     prior to the product ship price being added to the value-based rate, when using custom
     shipping calculation method A (see Optional Features below). The default is the shipping
     minimum as specified in StoreFront™ Merchant Tools.

34) Show_SFCarrierBackup="true"
     Setting this parameter to false will prevent the standard StoreFront™ backup shipping
     methods from being displayed to the shopper. You must first define custom backup shipping
     methods to replace the standard StoreFront™ methods (see Optional Features section 3).

35) FaxNumber="false"
     Specifies whether or not to prompt the shopper for a fax number.

36) CartPageName="shoppingcart.aspx"
     Specifies the name of the cart summary page. The referring page is the cart summary page

Optional Features

Geographic Constraints
Geo, or location constraints can be defined for Streamlined Checkout™ custom shipping methods as well as StoreFront™.s standard Product, Value or Carrier based shipping methods. To activate this feature, complete the following steps:

     a) Add the PENDX_LocationConstraints table to your StoreFront™ database as follows:
         i) MS Access:
           (1) Open your database in Microsoft Access. and click on .Tables. in the left navigation bar.
           (2) Right click in the white space of the Microsoft Access. window and select .Import. from
                 the pop-up menu.
           (3) Browse to the location of the unzipped Streamlined Checkout. files and select the
                CustomShip.mdb database.
           (4) Select the PENDX_LocationConstraints table and click the OK button. The
                PENDX_LocationConstraints table has now been added to your database.
         ii) MS SQL Server
           (1) Connect to your database with SQL Server Enterprise manger or the SQL query tool of
                 your choice.
           (2) Execute the SQL script contained in the PENDX_LocationConstraints.sql file, which was
                 unzipped with Streamlined Checkout™ files. The PENDX_LocationConstraints table has
                 now been added to your database.
                    b) From within Streamlined Checkout™ Admin page, add new records as necessary
                        to the PENDX_LocationConstraints table as follows: (note: the
                       PENDX_LocationConstraints table is pre-populated with the data necessary to
                       constrain the standard StoreFront™ Product and Value based shipping methods to
                       the continental US. This is most often used for constraining free shipping and
                       backup shipping methods.)
                          i) ShipMethodID
                               (1) This is the record key for the shipping method to which the constraint
                                     applies.
                                        (a) PENDX Custom Shipping Methods:
                                               (i) ShipMethodID must correspond to a value in the keyID field of
                                                   the custom Shipping table.
                                        (b) StoreFront™ Product or Value based shipping:
                                               (i) ShipMethodID must be one of the following values:
                                                      1. ValueBased = Value based shipping
                                                      2. ProdBased = Product based shipping
                                        (c) StoreFront™ Carrier-based shipping:
                                               (i) ShipMethodID must correspond to a value in the MethodID field
                                                    of the carrier methods table.
                         ii) Abbreviation
                               (1) This value represents the constrained value, which should correspond to
                                     the Constraint Type as follows:
                                         (a) 5 digit postal code
                                         (b) State abbreviation (must correspond to a state abbreviation within
                                               the SelectState table of the StoreFront™ database).
                                         (c) Country abbreviation (must correspond to a country abbreviation
                                              within the SelectCountry table of the StoreFront™ database).
                         iii) Country
                                (1) This value represents the country to which the constraint is applied. Use a
                                      valid StoreFront™ country abbreviation.
                                         (a) Note: If the constraint type of the ship method is set to Country (3),
                                               this value is redundant because it is already specified in the
                                               Abbreviation field. However, it still must be specified.

USPS International Shipping
This feature, called Alter Extended Carrier Results, allows you to alter the extended carrier results that are returned by the StoreFront™ USPS International and FreightQuote carrier methods. You can alter the price and descriptions, or you can eliminate one or more results from the list of shipping methods presented to the shopper.

To activate this feature, complete the following steps:
       a) Add the AlterXcarrierResults table to your StoreFront™ database as follows:
               i) MS Access:
                     (1) Open your database in Microsoft Access. and click on .Tables. in the left
                           navigation bar.
                     (2) Right click in the white space of the Microsoft Access. window and
                           select .Import. from the pop-up menu.
                     (3) Browse to the location of the unzipped Streamlined Checkout. files and select
                           the CustomShip.mdb database.
                     (4) Select the AlterXcarrierResults table and click the OK button. The
                           AlterXcarrierResults table has now been added to your database.
                 ii) MS SQL Server
                     (1) Connect to your database with SQL Server Enterprise manger or the SQL query
                           tool of your choice.
                     (2) Execute the SQL script contained in the AlterXcarrierResults.sql file, which was
                           unzipped with Streamlined Checkout™ files. The AlterXcarrierResults table has
                           now been added to your database.
       b) Add new records as necessary to the AlterXcarrierResults table as follows:
               i) CarrierResult
                     (1) This is the description of the extended result that you want to alter. This value
                           must exactly match (case sensitive) the result as returned in the Shipping
                           Methods list in the Order Information page (excluding the price preceded by one
                           space). The best way to ensure an exact match is to copy the description from
                           the HTML source by clicking the .View Source. menu item from within your web
                          browser.
                               (a) When the Check Rates button is clicked from within the Order Information
                                     page, the price preceded by one space is appended to the respective
                                     descriptions. When copying the shipping method description from your
                                      browser's HTML source view, remember to exclude the price and the one
                                      space that precedes the price.
               ii) DisplayName
                     (1) This value is optional and allows you to change the description that is displayed
                           to the shopper. If you do not wish to change the description, leave this value
                           blank or null.
               iii) AdjustType
                     (1) This value defines how the result should be altered as follows:
                               (a) P
                                        (i) Adjust the rate by adding the specified percentage. For example: if
                                             the returned rate were $20 and you specified 20 in the AdjustAmount
                                             column (column iv below), the price displayed would be $24 (20 + (20
                                             *(20/100)). Specifying a negative value in the AdjustAmount column
                                             (column iv below) will subtract the percentage.
                               (b) D
                                         (i) Adjust the rate by adding the specified dollar amount. For Example:
                                              if the returned rate were $20 and you specified 5 in the
                                              AdjustAmount column (column iv below), the price displayed is $25.
                                              Specifying a negative value in the AdjustAmount column (column iv
                                              below) will subtract the dollar amount.
                                (c) X
                                          (i) Exclude the result from the list of shipping methods displayed to the
                                              shopper.
                iv) AdjustAmount
                         (1) The decimal amount to adjust the rate by. This value represents either a
                               percentage or a dollar amount depending on the value of AdjustType as
                               defined above.
       c) Add the following parameter to SC tag on the shipping.aspx page:
           AlterXcarrierResults="true" (case sensitive).

Define Custom Shipping Methods
Streamlined Checkout™ allows you to optionally define an unlimited number of custom shipping methods that can stand alone or co-exist with the StoreFront™ carrier-based shipping methods.
Any or all of the custom shipping methods, when combined with StoreFront™ carrier-based shipping, can be used to increase (or replace) the number and type of backup shipping options available to the shopper when carrier rates cannot be retrieved. To specify that a particular custom shipping method should only be available as a backup choice, include the keyword [BACKUP] (including the brackets) in the description.

To configure custom shipping methods, complete the following steps:
       a) Add the PENDX_ShipMethods table to your StoreFront™ database as follows:
              i) MS Access:
                    (1) Open your database in Microsoft Access. and click on .Tables. in the left
                          navigation bar.
                    (2) Right click in the white space of the Microsoft Access. window and select .Import.
                          from the pop-up menu.
                    (3) Browse to the location of the unzipped Streamlined Checkout. files and select the
                          CustomShip.mdb database.
                    (4) Select the PENDX_ShipMethods table and click the OK button. The
                          PENDX_ShipMethods table has now been added to your database.
             ii) MS SQL Server
                    (1) Connect to your database with SQL Server Enterprise manger or the SQL query
                          tool of your choice.
                    (2) Execute the SQL script contained in the PENDX_ShipMethods.sql file, which was
                         unzipped with Streamlined Checkout™ files. The PENDX_ShipMethods table has
                         now been added to your database.
             iii) From within Streamlined Checkout™ Admin page, add new records to the
                 PENDX_ShipMethods table as follows:
            iv) Description
                    (1) This is the description of the custom shipping method, e.g. .Custom Ground..
                              (a) To specify that a particular custom shipping method should only be
                                    available as a backup choice, include the keyword [BACKUP] (including the
                                    brackets) in the description as follows:
                                         (i) Custom Ground[BACKUP]
                              (b) To completely replace the standard StoreFront™ backup shipping methods
                                    set Show_SFCarrierBackup="false" in the <PENDX:SC> tag (see
                                    Parameter Definitions above).
                v) SFCarrierCode
                        (1) This field is optional and allows you to associate a StoreFront™ carrier code
                             with the custom shipping method. Association with a valid StoreFront™ carrier
                             allows the order tracking feature to work with the custom method.
                vi) Type
                        (1) This specifies how the shipping rate should be calculated as follows:
                                  (a) F = Fixed rate per item
                                  (b) O = Flat rate per order
                                  (c) P = Product based (the value specified for Ship Price in the
                                       Products/Fulfillment section of Merchant Tools)
                                  (d) V = Value based (as specified in the value-based shipping table within
                                        Shipping/Value Shipping of Merchant Tools).
                                  (e) A = Value + Product based
                                           (i) This calculation begins with value-based and then adds the
                                                respective product(s) ship price to the value-based amount, as
                                                long as the respective product(s) ship price exceeds a certain
                                                minimum.
                                                       1. The minimum can be defined with the ShipCalcA_Minimum
                                                            parameter. The default is the shipping minimum as
                                                            specified in StoreFront™ Merchant Tools.
                                   (f) W = Fixed Rate for the first item
                                   (i) This calculation charges a fixed rate for the first item in the cart and
                                        then adds the incremental rate for all additional items in the cart.
                  vii) Rate
                          (1) This is the rate for the shipping method.
                                   (a) For Types P, V and A, this value is added to the product or value rate
                                         specified in the shipping section of Merchant Tools.
                 viii) IncrementalRate
                          (1) This value is used for quantities greater than 1 of an individual product.
                                   (a) Example: If you wanted the first product to be $10 and each additional
                                         quantity of the same product to be $2, you would specify Rate and
                                         IncrementalRate as follows:
                                              (i) Rate = 10
                                              (ii) IncrementalRate = 2
                                    (b) For calculation type P (Product based), setting the incremental rate to
                                         -1 will cause the incremental rate to equal the product ship price.
                  ix) LocationConstraint
                          (1) This specifies the type of location constraint applied to this shipping method
                                as follows (see Define Geographic Constraints above):
                                    (a) N = (None) no geographical constraints apply (default)
                                    (b) I = (Include) only allow shipping to locations that are specified in the
                                         PENDX_LocationConstraints table.
                                    (c) E = (Exclude) do not allow shipping to locations that are specified in
                                         the PENDX_LocationConstraints table.
                   x) ConstraintType
                          (1) This specifies which value will be used to check the location constraint (see
                                Define Geographic Constraints above) as follows:
                                    (a) 1 = Postal Code
                                    (b) 2 = State (default)
                                    (c) 3 = Country
                  xi) IsActive
                          (1) This specifies whether or not the method is active.
                                    (a) MS Access
                                             (i) True = active, False = inactive
                                    (b) SQL Server
                                             (i) 1 = active, 0 = inactive
                  xii) SortOrder
                           (1) A value from 0 to 255 that specifies the order of the shipping method within
                                 the shipping methods list displayed to the shopper. The default vale is 255.
                                    (a) You must set Sort_By_Price="false" in the <PENDX:SC> tag (See
                                          Parameter Definitions above) in order to persist this value. Otherwise
                                          the choices will be automatically re-sorted by price from lowest to
                                          highest.
                                    (b) Set Custom_Ship="true" in the <PENDX:SC> tag (See Parameter
                                          Definitions above).

Track Email Opt-In Subscription Choice
The email subscription box has three choices by default: Any of Our Stores, [StoreName] Only, and None. Any choice other than .None. will sign the shopper up to receive promotional email, but by default no other information is tracked. The shopper is either subscribed or not.

     a) To track which choice the shopper made, do the following:
               i) Make the following modifications to the Customers table within your StoreFront™ 6
                  database:
                       (1) Add a new column named .SubscriptionType. to the end of the table as follows:
                               (a) Data type:
                                        (i) MS Access = Text
                                        (ii) MS SQL Server = nvarchar
                               (b) Length = 20 (or larger as needed)
               ii) Set the Subscription_Info_Field_Name parameter, in the <PENDX:SC> tag as
                  follows:
                        (1) Subscription_Info_Field_Name="SubscriptionType"
     b) To customize the subscription choices, make modifications to the following table-cell
          located in the PENDX_SC.ascx file:
                <td id="celMailingListOptions" class="Content" runat="server">
                <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
                <input type="radio" name="inpMailingListOptions" value="Any-1" class="Content"
                   checked runat="server">Any of Our Stores</p>
                 <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
                 <input type="radio" name="inpMailingListOptions" value="Only-1" class="Content"
                    runat="server"><% GetStoreName() %> only</p>
                 <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
                 <input type="radio" name="inpMailingListOptions" value="None-0" class="Content"
                   runat="server">None</p>
                 </td>
               i) You can add as many choices as you want, or remove a choice. The important
                  elements are as follows:
                       (1) The value of .name. must be "inpMailingListOptions".
                       (2) The value of .value. represents two elements of data delimited by a dash (-), as
                             follows:
                                    (a) The value to the left of the dash (Any, Only, or None) will be stored in
                                          the newly created SubscriptionType filed. This value can be anything
                                          you wish, provided it does not exceed the SubscriptionType field length.
                                    (b) The value to the right of the dash can only be 0 or 1.
                                               (i) 1 = the shopper wants to subscribe.
                                               (ii) 0 = the shopper does not want to subscribe.
                       (3) One of the options must be marked as checked.
                       (4) The text following the <input> tag and preceding the </p> tag can be anything
                             you wish.
                       (5) Do not modify the <td> tag.

Create a Custom Shipping.aspx Page
   a) Create a StoreFront™ 6 template (or ProductBot) page by selecting .New Template Page.
        from the StoreFront™ 6 menu.
           i) Note: You can also use your own custom StoreFront™ 6 template page if you have
             created one.
    b) Copy and paste the following tag registration at the top of the template page, on a
        separate line, among the other tag registrations:
            i) <%@ Register TagPrefix="PENDX" TagName="SC" Src="Controls/PENDX_SC.ascx" %>
     c) Remove the following tag:
            i) <%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="VolumePricing"
                Src="Controls/VolumePricing.ascx" %>
     d) Replace the existing .title. tag, which reads .<title>ProductBotDetail</title>., with the
         following tag:
            i) <title>Order Info <% writeTitle() %></title>
     e) Copy and paste the following tag into the .Content. table-cell (id="tdContent") replacing
         the existing text, which reads Insert Bot Here:
            i) <PENDX:SC id="scOrderInfo" runat="server" />
      f) Save your new template page as root/ssl/shipping.aspx.
      g) Note to FrontPage users:
            i) FrontPage automatically inserts &nbsp; into empty table-cells. This can cause the top,
               sub, and bottom banner cells of the template page to appear taller than the rest of the
               out-of-the-box StoreFront™ pages. To resolve this, remove any lone &nbsp; statements
               from the template page using a text editor.
