Steps

1. Navigate to the Shopping Carts table
​
2. Click the ‘Add Shopping Carts’ button
​
3. Enter values in the Customer and Product fields (required)

​
5. Objective defaults to ‘Shopping Cart: New Placement’ and should not be changed unless another specific Shopping Cart objective exists
​
​

  • In order to use a different Objective for Shopping Carts, the Objective must have the Objective Type: "Shopping Cart"
    ​
    ​

Fields And Definitions

  • Shopping Cart - The table where Shopping Cart Tasks can be viewed, and single Shopping Carts Tasks can be created
    ​
    ​

  • Import to Shopping Cart - A dashboard used to Import Shopping Cart Tasks from a Distribution Report
    ​
    ​

Best Practices

  • Shopping Cart Tasks will only be generated for customers that do not have the chosen product active in their Customer History (default 180 days, can be adjusted in System Settings 131)
    ​
    ​

  • Once the product on a Shopping Cart is added to an invoice, that product will never be on that customer’s Shopping Cart again
