You can create Roles for site administrators, yourself, and anyone else you want to access your Quick Shopping Cart®. Roles let members access selected areas of your Quick Shopping Cart application without letting them logging in to your account with us. Members can log in using their email addresses and the passwords you choose for them.

While you can assign Roles to any member, for security reasons, we recommend that you only assign Roles to site administrators.

To Create a Role

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
  3. On the Quick Shopping Cart> page, click Launch next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
  4. From the Manage menu, in the Members section, select Manage Roles.
  5. Enter a Role Name, and then click Add.
  6. In the Define Role Choices list, use the checkboxes to select the areas of the Quick Shopping Cart application to which you want to grant members assigned this Role access.

    NOTE: By giving a role access to a page, members with that role can make changes to any of that page's settings.

  7. Click Submit.

To Add a Member and Assign Roles

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
  3. On the Quick Shopping Cart page, click Launch next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
  4. From the Manage menu, in the Members section, select Add Member.
  5. In the Create a New Member area, complete the following information:
    Email Address
    Enter the member's email address
    Password / Confirm Password
    Enter the member's password
    Roles
    Select the role you want to assign to the member
  6. Click Add Role to create a new Role.

You need to inform all new members of their email addresses, passwords, and the website (domain name) to enter so that they can log in to the application. After they enter Quick Shopping Cart, they can change their passwords.

Members with access rights can access Quick Shopping Cart through the Web by pointing their browser to https://app.fastshoppingcart.com. On the Login page, members enter their email addresses, passwords, and the website (domain name) associated with the Quick Shopping Cart account.

As the account owner, you can continue to access the program through your hosting account, but it is a good idea to also add yourself as a member with site administrator rights.

NOTE: Your Internet sign on name to Quick Shopping Cart is your member email address, not your hosting account user name and password.
