Max Classic allow you to sell products and services through your shopping cart. Setting up your theme and thank you page ensures these pages match your branding.  


  1. Go to E-Commerce > E-Commerce Setup
     
  2. Go to Design and click on Shopping Cart Themes.
     
  3. Click the Create New Theme button.
     
  4. Choose the one or two column layout.
     
  5. Choose from one of the default themes by clicking Use this theme. You can click on the image thumbnail to preview each theme.
     
  6. Name your theme and click Save.
     
  7. Now you can customize your theme by navigating to the various tabs.
    • Images: All of the default themes have a custom banner area. This is often used to display a company logo in your Max Classic storefront and shopping cart. Click on edit to replace the default image with a custom image that is up to 960 pixels wide. The image is aligned to the left by default and displays above the cart header.
    • HTML Areas: Click on the HTML Areas tab to insert images and text into predefined areas of the storefront and shopping cart. HTML areas include header, footer, sidebar navigation, and more. View the diagrams to see where the area shows up on the storefront or cart and see code examples below for basic HTML directions. Click on the Preview button to view the change, and the Save button when you are finished.
    • Labels: Click on the Labels tab to customize the text labels in the storefront and shopping cart. Enter new label text, then scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save. In the example below, we change the word, "Products" to "Golf Accessories."

  8. Click on the Edit CSS tab for more advanced customization. If you have a basic knowledge of CSS, the comments throughout the code will help you change the colors of the cart to match your branding. If you need help, you may need to contact your webmaster or check out the marketplace for a design consultant. Click Preview to view your changes and Save when you are finished.
