RapidCart provides you a handy way to customize some costs based on number of items in the cart, on total purchase or total weight amount.
Based on: switch between �total price�, �number of items� or "total weight".
�total price� will arrange sets depending on total cart amount.
�number of items� split sets depending on the number of units,
"total weight" will calculate costs depending on items total weight in the cart ;
Description: this text field lets you describe what this additional cost is about ;
Rules: as you can see from the picture above, on the left side there are five sets (from 0 to ∞): first field of each set is the first value (number of items, amount or weight) and second one is the higher of the set, then you can set the related additional cost.
NOTE: range is [From ...Up To], which means �From value� is excluded and �Up to value� is included ! �Up to value� will be automatically repeated on �From� field of the following row.
Let see through some examples using all cases:
In the first case, there are five sets: [0..$5,00],[$5,00..$10,00],[$10,00..$30,00],[$30,00..$50,00] and [$50,00..∞ ]. Purchases which have total price lower or equal to $5,00 will be charged with $5,00 additional cost. Purchases with total
price from $5,01 to $10,00 will be charged with $4,00 additional cost and so over. You can see this case on the following picture.
In the second case, additional costs settings depend on �number of items� so sets are: [0..1],[1..2],[2..3],[3..5] and [5..∞].
NOTE: if the cart content is 2 items, the cost applied is $1.50 not $2,00 because 2 is included in second set and excluded in third one. Let's see in the picture below.
Last, if products have weights set you can create rules depending from the total weight in the cart.
Weights are used for internal calculation, so they don't have measure.
Costs can also have negative values to let you use this feature to set up some promotions.
Don�t use this special feature with PayPal way of
payment because it has problems managing negative
costs!
NOTE: last field is set to ∞ to prevent any kind of purchase looses!

For further description of this tool, refer to RapidWeaver manual in "default Styled Text section".

NOTE: remember not to remove the following string code because it�s essential for the cart!
This will hide prices in the cart page (but you can set them in the Products>Pricing RapidCart Page if you wish a basic price to be set). Then open Page options>Checkout and enable Direct Order mode (remember that you need PHP 5.2 or higher
to use it) and fill this page as you need to. Last, you can change the �Add to cart� label in Page option>i18n to �Ask for pricing�.
So your customer will send you a request and you�ll receive his contact information by email.
The following special tags can be used in Custom Layout.
They will be automatically replaced with corresponding product values.

If you have a good HTML and CSS knowledge, you can customize further more your RapidCart-made shopping cart page.
NOTE: contact your Theme developer to be sure that your code modification don�t affects the Theme layout.
Another way to add creativity touch to a RapidCart Page is to insert some CSS specific rules in RapidWeaver Page Inspector.
Follow the right path Page Inspector>Header>CSS and customize any RapidCart element in your e-commerce page. Here are the main CSS classes you may change:
.rcItem { /* Put here your code to customize the entire product layout */}
.rcItemImage { /* Put here your code to customize product image */}
.rcItemThumb { /* Put here your code to customize product thumbnail */}
.rcItemName { /* Put here your code to customize product name style */}
.rcItemDescription { /* Put here your code to customize product description style */}
.rcItemInfo { /* Put here your code to customize the Price, Old Price and �Add to cart� button container layout*/}
.rcItemPrice { /* Put here your code to customize product price style */}
.rcItemButtons { /* Put here your code to customize buttons style */}
Some Theme may force style and so your CSS code could not affects the layout. You may force it using � !important;� in your rules, for example:
.rcItemDescription a:link,
.RapidCartItemDescription a:visited { color: red !important; text-decoration: underline !important; }
This tells the browser to apply this rule before the other in CSS files.
To better separate product on page layout you can add a line between them. To do so, open �Page Inspector>Header>CSS� and add this line in the box to have the effect you can see on the picture below:
.rcItem { border-bottom: 2px solid black; }
This is a CSS instruction to add a �2px� black line under each product. Let's see how it would look like after customization in picture below.

If you have a good HTML and CSS skill, you can customize further more your RapidCart-made shopping cart page.
NOTE: contact your Theme developer to be sure that your code modification don’t affects the Theme layout.
Further way to customize your RapidCart eCommerce page is using checkout disclaimer.
Disclaimer will appear every time a customer is ready to checkout. If you want to use it, enable “Show Disclaimer” following the path Page options>Checkout>Disclaimer. You can leave the default question “Do you want to proceed to checkout?” or fill the text area with any information you want your customer to know before proceeding with payment. For example, “I have read and agree with the Terms and Conditions” or explain shipping fares and times.
NOTE: Disclaimer text area accepts HTML tags so you can change and restyle it as you wish.
It’s up to your needs and imagination!
Enable the Custom layout field in Options windows and paste this code:

Though not directly supported by RapidCart, you can add a "More info..." button with a small piece of HTML/JS code in your product description.
Paste this code
SHORT_DESCRIPTION<br />
<a href="#" onclick="$('moreinfo%ID%').toggle(); return false;">More info...</a>
<div style="display: none;" id="moreinfo%ID%">

The most effective way to sell your product is through pictures. RapidCart can provide you an easy way to show different thumbnails of the same product.
Let's explain through a simple example: we're assuming we have a T-Shirt store and we're selling
different colors of each item.
When we first add the product, it will look like this:
We want our customer to see also back side. We directly drag and drop the big picture from Finder to RapidWeaver resources menu.
Then we manually create a picture thumbnail with an external graphic tool such as Preview (as RapidCart won't resize them for us). We drag this thumbnail to the product description field and add an hyperlink.
Last we assign the zooming effect to the thumbnail by adding "rel" attribute to that link.
That's how it will look like at the end.
RapidWeaver 4 users have to use assets to upload and link external resources. Again, we're assuming we have a T-Shirt store and we're selling different colors of each item. We decide to show all available colors in description field, so we must upload
big pictures using Page options>Header>Assets.
We upload files using "Add Files.." button.
Then we create thumbnails of each picture, though
RapidCart won't resize them for us! We created thumbnails using Preview resizing tool, but every external picture resizing tool would be perfect as well.
All we have to do now is just dragging thumbnails into
"Description" field and add an hyperlink to each of them pointing to the big picture.
"Description" field accepts HTML so we can add lines, text or else to customize items presentation. Previewing our T-Shirt Shop, it will look like this:
Clicking on thumbnails will open the related big picture.

It's handy to have the cart in other pages of your site so visitors can surf without loosing their cart content and keeping the cart amount always on top.
We will use a book shop to illustrate how to do it.
Open your RapidWeaver project with
the RapidCart page in it. Click on Page Options > General in the RapidCart page and then on `Copy template to clipboard"button as you see below:
Now choose the non-RapidCart page (1) you need to insert the cart to and open "Page Inspector". Select Header (2)> Header Custom (3) and paste the code into the window.
NOTE: You won't see the cart in Preview mode. You have to publish the site.
If the non-RapidCart page is stored in the root of your
site (e.g. http://www.your-site.com), you've just finished and it will look like this:
If the non-RapidCart page lays in a folder (e.g.
http://www.your-site.com/folder1/ ), you need to adjust the code for any rw_common reference.
Go to the non-RapidCart page and open "Page Inspector": as above, go to Header > Custom Header to edit the code.
For each path having a reference to rw_common set it as ../rw_common.
If the non-RapidCart page is in
http://www.your-site.com/folder/subfolder/ add the
../ twice for each rw_common occurrence.
Then publish the site again.

Though not directly supported, you can add an anchor to your product in store page and link it in your product page.
First create a product page with details:
Add a link to your store in this page adding #1234 at the end of the link (where 1234 is your actual SKU).
For example:
http://www.domain.com/store.htmluse this link
http://www.domain.com/store.html#1234.
Enable Custom Layout in Page Options -> Style window and add this code to the top:
<a name="46778-%SKU%"></a>
This way, the customer will be redirected to the store page and window will automatically scroll to product.
Previous: How to add a direct link to a product?
First of all, create a product page for each of your RapidCart products and set the page name as SKU.html where SKU is the corresponding SKU in RapidCart.
For example:
Then switch to your RapidCart page and enable Custom Layout in Options -> Style window.
Just after %DESCRIPTION% tag on line 19, add the following code:

Xmas is near, so why can't we use RapidCart and Direct Order combination to let customer tell us their wishes?
First, set up a normal RapidCart page with products and prices. We don't want our customer to see prices, but only to choose what they desire.
So we will hide price and value information enabling custom
layout in PageOptions > Style and pasting the following code:
<div class="rcItem column%COLUMN_STYLE%" id="rcItem%ID%">
<input type="hidden" name="sku" value="%SKU%" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="%NAME%" />
<input type="hidden" name="taxes" value="%TAXES%" />
<input type="hidden" name="shipping_1" value="%SHIPPING_1%" />
<input type="hidden" name="shipping_2" value="%SHIPPING_2%" />

</div>
After that, you should use the i18n feature to edit all button labels (e.g. "Add to Cart" --> "Add to my Wish list").
Using some CSS rules, we will hide all images and thumbnails that refer to a payment. Open PageOptions >
Header > CSS and paste this code:
.rcItemPrice, .rcItemOldPrice, .rcCartPrices, #rcCartTotal {display:none !important;}
.rcButton img { display:none !important}
#rcCartItems img{ display:none !important;}
The result page should look like this:
Last, set up Direct Order as payment method in
PageOptions > Checkout and customize the email subject and text. Here an example.

If you want to add a caption below the product thumbnails, follow these steps:
Open Page Options> Style> and enable custom layout.
Add a paragraph within the default 14th row after that has a variable value such as %SKU% or %Name%
but remember that thumbnail default size is 64px so texts should be short (or tiny) or they'll go to a new line. Enlarge thumbnails
size as alternative option ( you can do it on RapidCart
Product> General panel of each item)
e.g.
<a href="%IMAGE_PATH%" rel="remooz"><img id="rcThumb%ID%" src="%THUMB_PATH%" alt="%NAME%" /></a><p class="caption">%SKU%</p></div>
On that specific example <p
class="caption">%SKU%</p> the paragraph adds a CSS class (caption) to set a specific layout.
2.a Change layout settings for that class by using
Page Options> Header >
CSS and the following rule:
.caption { /* set here font-size or any other custom style */ }
If you want caption on the zoomed image also, add title tag on anchor for the image (always row 14):
<a href="%IMAGE_PATH%" rel="remooz" title="%SKU%">
NOTE: You should enter a dynamic variable for the title such as %NAME% (or any other such as %SKU% ) because they dynamically adapt to each different product.
This is how it will look like:

You can add up to 15 fields in Direct Order mode to gather information from your customer during the purchase process.
Why not using pieces of this information in the confirmation mail?
Open your RapidWeaver project and go to the RapidCart page. Enable Direct Order mode if you haven't.
See here for requirements
Click on Customize... to edit the 15 available field labels: we will use only required fields in the body of the letter to prevent blank spaces or non-sense.
You can refer to each field value by using {field#} (where # stands for a number from 1 to 15).
For example:
Hi {field1},
thanks for your order! What's the wheather in {field10}?
We will soon contact you at {field5}. Is that correct?
It will result as:
Hi John,
thanks for your order! What's the wheather in Los Angeles?
We will soon contact you at john.doe@nowhere.com. Is that correct?
If you want to go further, open Page Options>
Header>CSS and put CSS rules for each field referring as:
#rcField1{/* put here your rules */ }
obviously refer to #rcField2 for the second field and so on.
For example, the following code...
#rcField1{ background-color: #F7FFDE !important; color: rgb(165,183,107) !important; -webkit-border-radius:5px !important;}
... will change the background color and add rounded corner to the input field!
