This option is used to maintain the user IDs and passwords for customers accessing your web site. Customers that can access your website will be able to view their account online, view their order status and history and be able to place orders online (these options will depend on the functionality of your website).

Only use this option under instruction from your FastBase support staff when you have a fully integrated web site.

Go to Utilities -> E-commerce -> Web Users

The first screen that appears will display all web users. Select any web user to maintain the record or press the 'New' button to add a new user.

The following fields can be specified to filter the display of web users:

Salesperson:

User ID:

Customer:

Sort Sequence:
Web users are displayed in User ID order. Select another option to make viewing the list easier.

Whether you display all web users or a selection you can press the "Print" button to print out the selected web user details.

Notes

When you save a web user you will be asked if you want to send the user an email. The email message that gets sent will include the user id, password and a link to the website.

In most cases the web user record will not get updated to the website until the next morning so the user cannot log in until this has been updated.

The first time you send an email you should set the email address to your own, this way you can check the content of the email and contact your FastBase support to make any adjustments before sending emails to customers.
