-====== ProductCart SubscriptionBridge Add-On - Installation Steps ======
+====== Support for SubscriptionBridge in ProductCart ======
-Installing the SubscriptionBridge Add-On is very easy. The following assumes that you have installed and activated ProductCart on your Web server. If you haven’t done so, perform the ProductCart installation as described in the [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/quickstart/quickstart|ProductCart Quick Start Guide]], and then continue with the instructions below.
+===== User ProductCart v4.1 and above =====
-===== Choose the right folder =====
-The file set that you will be using is different depending on whether:
+Support for SubscriptionBridge is built into ProductCart v4.1 and above.
-  * You are using or not using the Apparel Add-on
+  * There is nothing to install.
-  * You are using or not using the MailUp e-mail marketing system
+  * Simply update to 4.1 if you are running a previous version.
-A text file called "Applicability" is included in each folder and will confirm what those files are applicable to.
+===== Next Step - Proceed to the Setup Wizard =====
-===== Parent Paths Enabled vs. Parent Paths Disabled =====
-Please select the correct update files depending on the version of ProductCart that you are running. Specifically, if you are running ProductCart on a server that has Parent Paths Disabled, please use the files contained in the "Parent Paths Disabled" folder. Otherwise, use the files contained in the "Parent Path Enabled" folder, which is the most common scenario.
-If you are unsure of which version you are running, look at the version number in the Control Panel start page ("menu.asp"). If it includes the letters "PPD", then you are using the "Parent Path Disabled" version of ProductCart.
-===== Step 1 - Back up your store =====
-If you haven't already done so, [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/updates/how_to_backup|back-up your store]].
-===== Step 2 - Turn off your store =====
-  - Log into your Control Panel and select //General Settings > Store Settings//
-  - Enter a descriptive message in the field //Message displayed when store is off//.
-  - Select //Turn store off//, then click on the //Update// button. This ensures that customers do not browse the store while you are updating it.
-===== Step 3 - FTP new files to your server =====
-Upload the files to their respective folders, overwriting the existing files. DO NOT delete any of the files that are currently on your Web server.
-  * **pc** \\ Many of the SB Add-On files will go into the //pc// folder.  In most cases the new files will over-write existing files.  If you are using customized files please backup your existing files before you upload the new files. See [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/editcode#file_comparisons_and_synchronizations|File Comparisons and Synchronizations]] for tips on how to compare and synchronize your edited files.
-  * **pcadmin** \\ Many of the SB Add-On files will go into the //pcadmin// folder. Please note that the //pcadmin// folder [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/rename_pcadmin_folder|has likely been renamed]] on your store. We recommend that you rename the same folder in the update files locally on your computer so that when you FTP the files there is no chance that a new //pcadmin// folder is created, which would mean that some of your store files are not being updated.
-  * **includes** \\ You will also be uploading files to the //includes// folder. Note that the file //**languages.asp**// in the //includes// folder will be overwritten, and this is a file that is often modified by ProductCart users. See [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/editcode#file_comparisons_and_synchronizations|File Comparisons and Synchronizations]] for tips on how to compare and synchronize your edited files.
-Make sure that once the process has finished, your FTP client reported a success message. Most FTP programs have a way to show you whether some files were not uploaded successfully. If that happens, make sure to upload them again until all files have been uploaded successfully.
-===== Step 4 - Update the Store Database =====
-  - Log into the your ProductCart Control Panel
-  - Load the following URL: <code>www.yourstore.com/ProductCart/pcadmin/SB_Default.asp</code> ...where //yourstore.com// is the store URL, //productcart// is the name of the ProductCart folder ([[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/rename_pcadmin_folder|likely renamed on your store]]) and //pcadmin// is the name of the Control Panel, which [[http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/how_to/rename_pcadmin_folder|has also, likely been renamed]].
-  - You will be prompted to run the database update script
-  - Run the database update script
-==== Troubleshooting ====
-  * If you receive any errors or warnings (e.g. a table could not be updated), run the database update again. In some cases these errors disappear on the second execution of the update.
-  * If the errors persist even after re-running the database update script a few times, leave the store OFF and [[https://www.earlyimpact.com/productcart/support/support_form.asp|open a Support Ticket]].
-===== Step 5 - Turn your store back on =====
-You can now turn your store back on and verify that the storefront is working properly. We recommend that you place at least one test order to go through the entire checkout process.
-===== Step 6 - Proceed to the Setup Wizard =====
 Continue to the [[setup|Setup Wizard]] to configure the subscription-related features.
