The welcome message displays on your Quick Shopping Cart storefront home page. This is the first page visitors see as they enter your site. Use this page to welcome visitors to your site, reassure visitors that your storefront is safe and secure, and provide a brief summary of your products or any other message.

From the home page, you can also access a search feature, navigation menu, featured items (if assigned), company information (branding), and your product categories.

To Create a Welcome Message

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Click Quick Shopping Cart.
  3. In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click Launch next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
  4. From the Set Up menu, in the Business Information section, click Store Home Page.
  5. On the Welcome Message page, use the default text, or enter your own message in Message.

    NOTE: You can include any or all of the variables from the Variables list. Select the desired variable and click ADD.

  6. If there are errors, view the error details displayed below the menu, make the correction(s), and click Verify. Continue making corrections as necessary.
  7. If there are no errors, click OK to close the Congratulations! This Text is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional! message.
  8. After you correct all errors and your HTML is valid, click Save.

NOTE: Click Default Text to display the default message. Delete all text and click Save to avoid displaying the welcome message.
