- Mals-E Cart ID: Enter your Mals-E cart account number (not password) here
- Currency: Enter your currency symbol and select your ISO 4217 currency code
- Mals-E Server: Enter the server prefix (ie. www, ww4, ww7, etc.) of your Mals-E cart
- Inv Limit: Inventory messages will display only if the inventory quantity is less than this value
- Out of Stock: Select Yes to display out of stock items with an "unavailable" message. Select No if you don't want to list out of stock items
- Inv Check: Do you want the system to stop someone from trying to order more than is in stock? Set Yes to limit them, No to allow backorders
- Order Process: Would you like to list the cart in a standard web page, or embedded into an iframe on your site? If you choose an iframe, it will pull out of that iframe when customers finish their purchase
- Temp Cart: If you want to temporarily limit items as they are added to the cart, instead of after the order is placed, enter the number of minutes before others can add an item into the cart. This is ideal for flash sales that will sell OOAK items, as a higher number decreases the chances of over orders. However, it also decreases the number of sales you may receive, because a potential customer may not be able to buy an item that is in someone else's cart. Set this to 'Do not set' if you want to decrement inventory only after an order is placed (ideal for typical stores).
- Order Button: If you would like to remove the order button, set this value to No. Otherwise, set it to Yes.
- Self Cart: If you want to temporarily limit items as they are added to the cart, instead of after the order is placed, enter the number of minutes before a customer can add an item they previously added to the cart back into their cart. This works in conjunction with the 'Temp Cart' process; both must be set for the temporary inventory system to work.
