ShopSite’s online store building software helps create search engine-friendly sites without any coding knowledge, including adding social media and integrating with third-party tools such as WordPress blogs and Constant Contact email marketing.

To get your ShopSite API key, let’s follow these steps:

On the screen, to access the dashboard, click the logo ShopSite > Merchandising > Order API.

Be sure that your applications conform to the Order API Specification. 

Enter the file name of the custom CGI application in the shopping cart directory.

If you want ShopSite to run more than one application, enter the names in the order in which you want them to run, separated by commas.

Custom CGI Filename(s): Only enter the file names of the custom CGI applications if you are sure they are ready to run. If improper permissions are set on the custom CGI, no orders will be processed.

You can enter customdump.cgi to see a sample program run; it should already be in your shopping cart directory. It will display all the information that is passed to it and display it on the receipt screen.

The CGI should find the pairs, determine the name and value for each, and decode the name and value. The CGI can then do whatever CGIs do. Anything written to standard output will go to the server, etc.
