Step 2 - Access your ShopSite Store Manager Back-end screen by typing the following URL into a browser window:
http://cabshop##.cabrillocollege.biz/cgi-bin/ss/start.cgi
(replace the ## with your cabshop number: for example - ## with 13 or ## with 7)

Your Login will be

Username = cabshop1 (Use your # 2 thru 30)
Password = CHANGEme (case sensitive)

DO NOT change your password. Leave it as CHANGEme. it is possible to change your password later but not your username. ..but I really prefer you don't. (ALSO, if you do anyway, you will need to email your new password to me or I will be required to delete your site) Please do NOT change the password for your store!

 

Step 3 - Use the Template Wizard to start your site

A "'wizard" will open and you should follow the screen directions by clicking on the Next button. I'll walk you through this so I can explain some options as we go, such as uploading graphics and setting retail sales tax rates.

Click here to see your Retail Sales Tax Rate

Test the Credit Card feature using 4111 1111 1111 1111 where you have 16 digits with the first number being 4.

 

Step 4 - Finish the wizard and then Click on the ShopSite Tab to continue creating your Catalog and set other functions.

Step 5 - Use all menus, try everything!
Step 6 - Use Reports & Statistics
Step 7 - Test Site
