Logging in and out of the Transact e-commerce

Anonymous Logins

To allow people to enter the store anonymously, create a link which points to your store entrance (usually /Transact/index.html or /store/index.html).

For this link which brings a user into the Transact e-commerce, you must add a special query string to the link. This query string informs the Transact e-commerce that this user has just entered, and needs to be given a shopping cart.

<a href="/Transact/index.html?Session_ID=new"> link to store </a>

The user will be inside the store and able to browse immediately. They'll be anonymous until they go to purchase, at which time they'll be prompted for their user info.

Automatic Logins

If a user has cookies enabled in their browser, they will get their original shopping cart back, even if they don't come back for a few months. But a user whose browser doesn't support cookies will get a new shopping cart each time they come.

Logging Out

If someone wishes to log out and delete the cookie from their browser, they just need a form element named Logout set to yes. This example form informs the Transact e-commerce that this user wishes to log out and exit the store. Note that the destination page must still be within a directory where Transact is enabled (usually /Transact or /store ...)

<form method="POST" action="leaving.html">
<input type="submit" name="Logout" value="yes">
</form>
