To disconnect the client tools from a database, click on theStoreFront 6.0 menu of FrontPage or Dreamweaver and choose Disconnect.DATABASEA StoreFront web store can be configured to use either an Access or a SQL Server database.The web store’s database is where all of its configuration settings, product records,order records, and customer records are stored. Information in the database is manipulatedthrough the client tools and the Merchant Tools. The web store’s application files alsocommunicate with the database to store and retrieve customer and product information. Tolearn more about the structure of the database, look in your StoreFront help files under theindex entry “database structure.”How StoreFront WorksThese pages are intended to give you a condensed overview of how the three main processesin a StoreFront web store function: what pages and tools are involved, and in whatsequence. Understanding how your store’s pages work together will make it easier for youto build a well-designed and customer-friendly site.18
User GuideADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENTStoreFront web stores are primarily managed through the Merchant Tools. These are acollection of pages in your store’s “management” folder that can be used to perform mostday-to-day tasks that will be required in the management of a web store, such as retrievingorders using the Sales Report tools. The Merchant Tools are accessed and used throughany browser, though some features, such as the HTML E-Mail Design Tools (see page 265)may require a recent version of Internet Explorer (v. 5.0 or greater).SHOPPINGIn a StoreFront web store, customers shop by browsing the store’s Product Pages andCatalog Pages and adding items to their carts through Product Bots.A Product Page is any web page that has been integrated with the rest of a StoreFront webstore through the addition of one or more Product Bots. In their simplest form, ProductBots are HTML form elements consisting of a text input labeled “Quantity” and an “Add toCart” button. When a customer wants to add an item to their cart, they will enter thequantity of the item they wish to purchase in the Quantity field of that item’s Product Bot,then click the Bot’s Add to Cart button. Product Bots are constructed using one of theStoreFront client tools, the Product Bot Creator. Product Pages and Catalog Pages thatcontain Product Bots can also be dynamically generated using special hyperlinks builtfrom the StoreFront Link Creator.When a customer is finished browsing through your store’s inventory and adding items totheir cart, they should be directed to the shoppingcart.aspx page. At shoppingcart.aspx,the customer will be shown a summary of their order thus far and given the opportunity tomodify its contents. Any coupons can also be used at this point. When the customer issatisfied with the order’s contents, they can then click the Checkout button at the bottomof the page to begin the checkout process.19
