cron job

A cron job is an automated program setup for Linux and Unix operating systems. It allows the user to execute several commands or functions at a specific time and date. A cron job is an helpful tool that can be used for many services such as running scripts and re-indexing a web page to providing backup for a database. An example below would run STCtoCart's cron_all.php every 40 minutes! GET and wget is available on most servers.

Fresh New Database

Clean wipe of your shopping cart database! If you wish to Delete / Move or Add Categories from STC then you must start with a Fresh New Database (On). This will avoid any Product to Category problems!

Pending Status

An order that is in Pending Status is normally reserved for Check / Money Orders. These orders are waiting for you to receive funds so they are not processed or shown with STCtoCart. Once you receive funds and they clear your financial institution. Then you can manually change them to Processing Status and have STCtoCart process the order either manually or in Automatic mode.

Update Products Only

Updates you shopping cart's database only. STCtoCart will only add new products or images, delete discontinued items or delete specific products you wish to ignore.

STCtoCart will NOT alter the categories or touch any existing products without being triggered by "Discontinued Items" or "Ignore Products". So with "Update Products Only" SET you can make changes to descriptions, product name, or even move a product to a different category if you wish.
