Managing members

Customers become members once they place an order on your storefront and register with your store. In some cases, you might want to manually enter a member into the system.

To Add Member Profiles

1. Log in to your HostingDude.com account.
2. Click Quick Shopping Cart.
3. On the Quick Shopping Cart page, click Manage next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
4. From the Manage menu, go to the Members section, and then select Add Member.
5. Enter the required profile information, and then click OK.

Note: New member profiles must include information for all fields. You might want to create a method or list of default passwords to provide new members. They can change the default password when they access their accounts.

Warning: Assigning roles is optional. A role grants a member access to the specified features in the Shopping Cart Administration program to edit your store. This is not something you should provide to regular customers.

Quick Shopping Cart lets you create new member profiles from copies of existing profiles. You can also copy a member profile from the Tasks menu on the Member Editor page.
