I just signed up and feel sooo lost...help!

Hi gang,



First, sorry if this is something that's been answered over and over. My brain is on life support right now and I figured the forum would be the best place to come for relief :)



I'm a musician and want to sell mp3's. I signed up for the 7-day trial version of e-junkie. I uploaded one file (that I don't want to sell, just to figure out the process).



I copied this code into my Wordpress page:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=662656&cl=112727&ejc=2" target="ejejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ejadd_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&cl=112727&ejc=2" target="ejejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ejview_cart.gif" border="0" alt="View Cart"/></a>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function EJEJC_lc(th) { return false; }

// -->

</script>

<script src='http://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/box.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

However, this is all I get:

I know I screwed up somewhere, but I can't figure out where. Where in the world did I go wrong, and how do I fix it?



Thanks!

Hm, it looks like your View Cart button code didn't get saved to that page at all somehow, and the Add to Cart button code you added successfully has an Item Number that does not match the Item Number of any product currently saved in your Seller Admin.



Since you appear to be using WordPress, I'll refer you to the tips for WordPress we offer on this help page:

Thanks for the feedback.



I ended up trying to fool around with the page and probably deleted some stuff off. That may be why it didn't come out right if you clicked the link to my website.



But, what SHOULD the cart page look like? Will it set up everything for me, or will I have to do some of my own HTML?



I'd like to have my cart page look something like this:



http://www.jonathancoulton.com/store/downloads/



Would that be possible w/o doing my own coding?



Here's what I would like to have. Please tell me what part E-junkie will do, and what I will need to do on my own :)



The title of the song

A preview button so they can hear a 30 second sample

Cost of the song

A cart to buy the song.



It'd also be nice to have the title of the song link back to a page that has more info about the song.



Thanks for the help!

It may help to think of things in real-world terms. When you go to a grocery store and get a shopping cart, the entire store isn't already sitting in your cart, and the cart manufacturer didn't build or design the whole store. The cart is just a place where you can collect items you want to buy before you proceed to pay for them altogether at once in the checkout lane.



When a buyer clicks a cart button, our shopping cart screen appears which shows that buyer's order so far, with items they've added to their cart, any Tax or Shipping charges you've configured, Discounts they've applied, etc., and clicking a checkout button in the cart sends their cart order details to checkout on a third-party payment processor's site such as PayPal.com.



If you are selling digital products such as downloads, we can fulfill delivery of those as well, and we can also forward the order data to a third-party if you require that for additional post-purchase processing. This help page explains more about how our download delivery fulfillment works:

You are expected to design and maintain your own Web site and storefront with your own product listings, titles, descriptions, pictures, preview players, etc., which you can design however you like. We only provide ready-made code to paste into your pages for our Add to Cart and View Cart buttons, which add our shopping cart function to your own storefront pages. If you want to have our nice overlay-style cart that appears "inside" your own page, just make sure you have at least one block of View Cart code in every page that has any number of Add to Carts.



When adding our cart button codes to your product pages, you can replace our standard button images with your own custom buttons or text links, as described on this help page:
