= Layaway Management =

Layaway lets your store accept deposits on dresses and track payments over time — both for online orders placed through your website and for in-store purchases.

== Initial Setup ==

Before using layaway, a one-time setup must be completed for your store.

# Log in to your Admin panel
# Go to '''Settings''' and click the '''Layaway''' tab
# Click the '''Set Up Layaway''' button
# The system will automatically create the payment product, form, and page your store needs
# When setup is complete, you will see confirmation links for the Layaway Payment Product and Payment Page

You only need to do this once. You can confirm setup is complete when the Layaway tab shows "✓ Layaway setup is complete."

== Enabling Layaway on Your Website ==

Once setup is complete, you can turn layaway on from the '''Layaway''' tab in Settings:

* '''Layaway On/Off''' — enables the layaway checkout option on your website
* '''Deposit Percentage''' — the minimum percentage of the order total the customer must pay upfront (e.g. 50 means the customer pays at least 50% as a deposit)

When layaway is enabled, customers will see a layaway option during checkout for eligible orders.

== Creating an In-Store Layaway Account ==

Use this when a customer purchases a dress in your physical store and wants to pay over time.

# Go to '''Admin → Gift Cards / Layaway'''
# Click the '''Create Layaway''' tab
# Fill in the following fields:

{| class="wikitable"
! Field !! Description
|-
| '''Customer Name''' || The customer's name, for your records
|-
| '''Customer Email''' || Where the confirmation email will be sent (optional but recommended)
|-
| '''In-Store Receipt #''' || Your store's own receipt or ticket number, stored for reference
|-
| '''Full Order Total''' || The full price of the item(s) being put on layaway
|-
| '''Deposit Paid Today''' || The amount the customer paid upfront today
|-
| '''Billing Postal Code''' || The customer's zip code (optional)
|-
| '''Send confirmation email''' || Leave checked to automatically email the customer their account details and payment link
|}

Click '''Create Layaway Account'''. The system will assign a unique Layaway Number and record the deposit.

== What the Customer Receives ==

If a confirmation email is sent, the customer receives:

* Their unique '''Layaway #'''
* A summary showing: full order total, deposit paid, and remaining balance
* A '''click here''' link to your store's payment page

When the customer clicks that link, the payment page opens with their Layaway Number already filled in. They cannot edit it — they simply enter a payment amount, their name, and phone number and submit.

== Viewing Layaway Accounts ==

# Go to '''Admin → Gift Cards / Layaway'''
# Click the '''Layaway Accounts''' tab

You will see a list of all layaway accounts with:
* Customer name
* Full order total
* Balance still owed (shows '''Paid in Full''' in green when complete)
* Date created
* Layaway #
* Associated online order number (if applicable)

Click '''View / Pay''' on any row to open the full account detail.

== Recording a Payment (Phone or In-Store) ==

If a customer calls in or visits in person to make a payment:

# Open the layaway account ('''Layaway Accounts → View / Pay''')
# Scroll to the '''Adjust Balance''' section at the bottom
# Select '''Subtract''' from the Action dropdown
# Enter the payment amount
# Add a comment if desired (e.g. "Phone payment 4/20/2026")
# Click '''Adjust Balance'''

The Layaway Payment History table will update to show the new entry and the remaining balance.

== How Online Layaway Payments Work ==

When a customer uses the payment link from their email:

# They open your store's '''Make a Payment''' page
# Their Layaway Number is pre-filled and locked — they cannot change it
# They enter the amount they wish to pay, their name, and phone number
# They check out normally through your store's payment processor
# The payment is automatically applied to their layaway account
# Their remaining balance is reduced accordingly

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

; Can I create a layaway account without an email address?
: Yes. Leave the Customer Email field blank. No confirmation email will be sent, but the account is still created and visible in Layaway Accounts.

; What if a customer loses their payment link?
: Open the layaway account in admin, copy the Layaway # from the account detail page, then direct the customer to your store's payment page and tell them to enter the number manually.

; Can I adjust the balance upward (e.g. the customer added an item)?
: Yes. Use '''Add''' instead of '''Subtract''' in the Adjust Balance section. Add a comment describing the reason.

; What does "Paid in Full" mean?
: When the total of all payments recorded equals or exceeds the original order total, the account shows Paid in Full in green.

; Does the customer need an account on my website to use the payment link?
: No. The payment page is open to anyone with the link.

'''Sorting Options for Collections or Categories'''

On the Manage Collection/Category Details page under the drop down for "Choose the order you would like products in this Collection/Category to display" there are several sorting options which are detailed below. Specifying the sort on this page will cause the page to load on your front end web site with the selected sort when "Top Picks" is selected on the front end web site.

==Default Sort / Top Picks==
This sort is the recommended sort and always pushes the styles that are the most available to sell to the top of the thumbnails page for the collection or category. This is the sort used by default when "Top Picks" is selected on your front end web site. The sorting criteria are:

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# The release date of the collection the style belongs to. A carryover style gets the release date of the most current collection it belongs to.
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Deprioritized Special Order Styles ==

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# Whether or not there is any store or vendor stock
# Original release date of the style. Usually this is the season the style was released in, but its possible newer styles are added within the same season. The newest styles are sorted first assuming they meet the other criteria. A carryover style would be sorted with the season it was originally released in.
# Store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Prioritized Store Stock==
# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# All store stock (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Original release date of the style. Usually this is the season the style was released in, but its possible newer styles are added within the same season. The newest styles are sorted first assuming they meet the other criteria. A carryover style would be sorted with the season it was originally released in.
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Only Store Stock==
"Only Store Stock" uses the same criteria as "Prioritized Store Stock" except only includes styles that have store stock. "Prioritized Store Stock" can include everything, but just prioritizes store stock.

==Newest First==
Only use for Collections/Categories containing CUSTOM products. Custom products are those created when you manually add products by creating a new product in Product Manager and uploading your own images.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Most recently added custom products to oldest custom products

==Oldest First==
Only use for Collections/Categories containing CUSTOM products. Custom products are those created when you manually add products by creating a new product in Product Manager and uploading your own images.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Oldest custom products to most recently added custom products

==Vendor Supplied Sort==
Usually by style number, with inventory priority disabled. This sort can be useful in November/December when vendors have released their new collection styles but have don't yet have any of them in stock. Inventory priority is disabled to the newest released styles. Careful consideration should be given when using this because when January approaches the styles will still be shown in style number order, even if those first lowest numbered styles of the season have no stock, potentially decreasing sales conversion on your web site.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Manage Products.
# The release date of the collection the style belongs to. A carryover style gets the release date of the most current collection it belongs to.
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Show Only Discontinued Styles, Sorted by Inventory Priority==
This sort option will cause the collection/category to only show discontinued styles

# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Page Manager.
# All store stock (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Original release date of the style. Usually this is the season the style was released in, but its possible newer styles are added within the same season. The newest styles are sorted first assuming they meet the other criteria. A carryover style would be sorted with the season it was originally released in.
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Newest First==
Only use for Collections/Categories containing CUSTOM products. Custom products are those created when you manually add products by creating a new product in Product Manager and uploading your own images.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Page Manager.
# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Most recently added custom products to oldest custom products

==Oldest First==
Only use for Collections/Categories containing CUSTOM products. Custom products are those created when you manually add products by creating a new product in Product Manager and uploading your own images.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Page Manager.
# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Oldest custom products to most recently added custom products

==Vendor Supplied Sort==
Usually by style number, with inventory priority disabled. This sort can be useful in November/December when vendors have released their new collection styles but have don't yet have any of them in stock. Inventory priority is disabled to the newest released styles. Careful consideration should be given when using this because when January approaches the styles will still be shown in style number order, even if those first lowest numbered styles of the season have no stock, potentially decreasing sales conversion on your web site.

# Your custom sort which can be specified in Page Manager.
# The release date of the collection the style belongs to. A carryover style gets the release date of the most current collection it belongs to.
# The order of the collection on the vendors web site, usually ordered by style number from least to greatest

==Show Only Discontinued Styles, Sorted by Inventory Priority==
This sort option will cause the collection/category to only show discontinued styles

# Your store stock, from styles that have the most quantity on hand to the least (assuming you are syncing a POS system with eStyleCentral or manually adding quantity on hand in the inventory grid)
# Vendor warehouse and work in progress stock from most quantity to least

==Product Data Feed==

Getting product data through the XML feed works in the following way. We set up a script to automatically update an XML file each morning around 1AM. You can also trigger an update within 5 minutes from your admin panel at any time.

You can use your admin panel to manage products as usual, but now all of this data will also be available in the XML file. The category and product IDs of the products on your site are included in the XML file.

The feed consists of two XML files, the products feed, and the categories feed. The categories feed supports our Manage Collection/Category Headers tool which allows categories and collections to be grouped into subcategories. Group id 0 and 1 are for category that have not been assigned to any subcategory.

The feed includes links to all images we have available for a given style. You are welcome to directly link to our images to simplify the process of integration. High bandwidth usage may require a higher hosting tier.

'''Creating Smart Categories'''

All styles are tagged according to over 100 different attributes. These attributes are used to power the advanced search on your web site. Providing relevant easily accessible categories to your customers increases sales conversion rates.

You no longer need to manually assign blue dresses to a "Blue Dresses" category one by one. Just create a "Blue Dresses" smart category and it will be automatically updated as new blue dresses are added to your web site.

To create a smart category, perform the following three steps:

==Step 1==
Perform an advanced search on your web site with your desired filters (for example, High Low Prom Dresses)
[[Image:Smartcat1.jpg|320px|thumb|none|]]
[[Image:Smartcat2.jpg|820px|thumb|none|]]

==Step 2==
In your eSC admin panel click "Manage Collections/Categories". Then create a new category. In this example we called it "High Low Prom Dresses"
[[Image:Smartcat3.jpg|820px|thumb|none|]]

==Step 3==
Set the new category to be a "Smart Category".

Your new smart category is now live:

===Information for Developers===

==Overall Site Layout==
For the overall site layout you can use any of the following methods:
<ol>
<li>Use one of our templates. You are able to override CSS by inserting it into the HEAD of your pages. You can override CSS by placing your own css in your admin panel under General Settings -> HTML Inserts -> Section 4. eStyleCentral Platform Version 3+ is built with HTML5 and Bootstrap and can be customized extensively with CSS to achieve most desired formats.</li>
<li>Use your own HTML/CSS under General Settings -> HTML Inserts -> Advanced and insert magic variables to include CMS elements like navigation, social media icons and logo. A starter responsive HTML base is available, contact support for more information. </li>

</ol>

==Home Page Customization==
For home page customization you can use any of the following methods:
<ol>
<li>Use one of our templates. You are still able to override CSS by inserting it into the HEAD of your pages. You can override CSS by placing your own css in your admin panel under General Settings -> HTML Inserts -> Section 4.
- you can also specify your own CSS file to use in General Settings -> Advanced -> Misc Settings -> Advanced Settings -> "You can change the file your CSS links to here (note: advanced users only):".
</li>
<li>Use an advanced HTML box within the Home Page Manager to insert your custom HTML.
</li>

</ol>
See also: http://www.efcmailserver.com/wiki/index.php/General_Settings_Advanced

==Customizing the Built-in Slide Show==
The built in home page hero/slider can be disabled upon request so you can drop in an alternative option using an advanced HTML module.

==Title Element Composition==

The title bar is composed of the following:
[Category or Collection Name][Style Number][Product Short Description][Global Title Bar text which is set in General Settings -> HTML Inserts -> 1 ], in that order. <br><br>To edit the title element for a specific category go to "Edit Collection/Category Details" called "Title of this Collection/Category for HTML "TITLE" element if different from above". This will override the collection name if given, otherwise the collection name is used. This will also be used as the automatic add-in for the meta tags.
<br><br>
To edit the Title element for a specific product, go to "Manage Products" -> Navigate to a product and click "Edit", enter the new Title in "Product HTML Title Override". You can also edit META keywords/description for the product here in "Product META Keywords Override" and "Product META Description Override".

META tags

2022-12-06T22:37:35Z

Trya1234: /* 3) Product Page META Tags */

[[Category:General Settings]]
This article covers the ways in which META tags can be edited using the eStyleCentral.com admin panel. META tags are containers embedded in the HTML code of a web page and are not visible when viewing the page unless its source code is viewed. META tags are primarily used to feed keywords and descriptions to search engines to communicate what the content of the web page is about. The eStyleCentral system automatically creates most META tags on web sites but it is possible to customize them.

== 1) Global META Tags ==

Global META tags will be included on every page of your web site unless they are overridden by a more specific META tag from 2,3 and 4 below. Details on editing global META tags in General Settings can be found here: http://www.efcmailserver.com/wiki/index.php/HTML_Inserts

Recommendation: Enter keyword and description global META tags

Default Behavior: Blank
[[Image:meta1b.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

Behavior with content:
[[Image:meta1a.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

== 2) Collection/Category Page META Tags ==

Recommendation: Enter keyword and description META tags describing the products in each category.

Default Behavior:

Keywords: [Category Name], [Global Keywords]

Description: [Category Name], [Global Description]

[[Image:meta-cata.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

Behavior with override content:
[[Image:meta-catb.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

== 3) Product Page META Tags ==

The eSC system handles creation of default keyword and description META tags for products. However, adding your own unique descriptions and tags has an SEO benefit as it sets your site apart from all the others that use the default vendor provided descriptions. On the edit product page there are several fields you can customize:

Full Description: It is best to leave this one as default as it will be overwritten by product updates.
Product Keywords: This is a system generated field and will be overwritten by product updates.

Extra Description: This is the best area to add your own unique descriptions. These will NOT be overwritten by updates and will be added to the default description the customer sees. There is generally an SEO benefit to adding descriptions here.

Product URL Override: This can be used to change the URL of the product, it generally not recommended to edit this field.

Product Title Override: This will change the title of the product that is shown to the customer. This override field is generally not needed.

Product HTML Title Override: This will change the title that is shown in the browser tab. There is generally an SEO benefit to making these unique.

Product META Keywords Override: The eSC system provides default keywords, but adding your own unique keywords will have an SEO benefit. These are not seen by the customer but are fed to search engines.

Default Behavior:

Keywords: [eSC Supplied Designer/Collection Name] [Style Number] [Short Description] [Product Keywords]

Description: [eSC Supplied Designer/Collection Name] [Style Number] [Long Description]

[[Image:meta-producta.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

Behavior with override content:

[[Image:meta-productb.jpg|1280px|thumb|none|]]

== 4) Text Page META Tags ==

META tags for text pages such as About Us, Contact Us and other pages created in the "Page Manager" can be edited under "Page Manager" -> "Edit".

Default Behavior:

Keywords: [Page Title] [Global Keywords]

Description: [Page Title] [Global Description]

Behavior with override content:

Keywords: [Meta Keywords Override]

Description: [Meta Keywords Override]

A full width slider is available upon request. The full width slider requires custom images sized 1400px x 520px (jpg or png). Sliders with dynamic HTML content/buttons/video etc can be created by contacting the Custom Design department through the ticket system.

==Title Element Composition==

The title bar is composed of the following:
[Category or Collection Name][Style Number][Product Short Description][Global Title Bar text which is set in General Settings -> HTML Inserts -> 1 ], in that order. <br><br>To edit the title element for a specific category go to "Edit Collection/Category Details" called "Title of this Collection/Category for HTML "TITLE" element if different from above".

[[Category:General Settings]]
==Sign Up for PayPal==

If you haven't already done so, go to http://paypal.com/ and sign up for a Business Account (The "Standard" level account is sufficient for use with eSC).

== Complete the PayPal Standard Setup ==

Complete the PayPal Standard setup steps detailed here:
http://efcmailserver.com/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started_With_PayPal_Standard

== Step 1 ==

Go to: https://developer.paypal.com/ and log in with your usual Paypal login info.

== Step 2 ==
Go to: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications

Click on "My Apps & Credentials". Click the "Live" toggle switch. Under "REST API apps" click the "Create App" button.

[[Image:Ppstep1.jpg|776px|thumb|none|]]

== Step 3 ==

Under App Name enter: eStyleCentral
Click the "Create App" button.

[[Image:Ppstep2.jpg|776px|thumb|none|]]

== Step 4 ==

Click the "Live" toggle switch/button. Copy the Client ID shown

[[Image:Ppstep3.jpg|776px|thumb|none|]]

== Step 5 ==

Paste the Client ID into your eStyleCentral admin panel by following these steps:
Go to General Settings -> eCommerce Settings -> scroll down to the bottom and click "Click here to edit Payment/Credit Card Settings" -> scroll down to where it says "Enable Paypal"

Check "Enable Paypal" if not already checked. Enter your Paypal email address.

Then enter the Paypal Client ID from Step 4.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Submit".

[[Image:Ppstep4.jpg|776px|thumb|none|]]

== Step 6 ==

Test: On your web site add a product to the cart and start checking out using Paypal. Make sure you see the Paypal popup confirming your shipping info. This is usually enough to determine that everything is working. To be 100% sure you'd need to actually place an order using a different Paypal account.

== Step 2 ==
Go to: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications
