texte = >>Being new to WebCatalog ... I have a general question.>>>>Can WebCatalog keep a database of people who have ordered in the past and >>keep their Password, Name, Address, ShipTo, BillTo, Credit info?I use a combination of cookies and a database on the thank you page. Whenan order is placed, you need to generate a unique customer ID and simplyappend a record to a customers database (you could use the users.db, but Iprefer not to). At the same time, set a cookie with that same unique ID.One really nice use of this is to pre-fill the shipping and billinginformation for returning customers. Just check for a cookie, if it existsdo a quick search of the customer database and viola!I also use it for tracking purchase histories. It's not perfectly accurate,but close enough in many cases.-----------------------------------------------------Jack Baty jbaty@fusionary.comFusionary Media http://www.fusionary.com
