The shopping cart allows you to buy various products of a vendor in any number via AffiliCon GmbH. Since AffiliCon only makes payment processing, the shopping cart must be integrated on the vendor side (for example in a shop, website or landingpage).

Cart Widget

The widgets can be used in all languages supported by AffiliCon.

In this fashion you can specify any CSS property of the element. Notice that CSS properties that contain a hyphen ('-') should be specified in camel case (i.e. for the CSS property font-size one should write fontSize).
In order to pass these properties to the iframe, they have to be serialized (URL-encoded). For example, one can use the following tool: http://www.url-encode-decode.com/. On the left side one specifies the custom styles as in the code block above, then clicks "Encode URL", and then one gets a serialized string on the right hand side. Then one has to copy the string and pass it as the customStyles parameter to the iframe (see break-down of the iframe URL above for reference).
The resulting URL could the look somewhat like this:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

The integrated shopping cart works with websockets and iframes. The Add-Product widget sends a request to the AffiliCon system. AffiliCon then informs the Cart widget of the change. The Cart Widget then asks the AffiliCon API for the new values.
Technical Integration
The shopping cart is integrated by iframes. These can be positioned anywhere in the shop or in the product landing page.
Add-Product Widget
Use the following code to integrate:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<iframe style="width: 200px; height: 100px;" src="https://secure.affilibank.de/widget/cart/add?productId={Produkt-Id}&countryId={Country-Id}&customStyles={Custom-Styles}" width="400" height="250" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
Following placeholders need to be substituted:
...
{Produkt-Id}...
Product id is shown in product list of your vendor account.
...
{Country-Id}...
The language to translate the add-product widget into.
...
{Custom-Styles}...
Cart Widget
Use the following code to integrate. Use the styling attributes bottom: 0px; right: 0px; to determine the position of the widget.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<iframe id="cartWidget" style="position: fixed; z-index: 9999; bottom: 0px; right: 0px;" src="https://secure.affilibank.de/widget/cart?countryId={Country-Id}&vendor={Vendor}&formConfig={Form-Configuration}&customStyles={Custom-Styles}" frameborder="0"></iframe> |
Following placeholders need to be substituted:
...
{Vendor}...
The name / id of the vendor on the platform
...
{Country-Id}...
The country id in this case determines the country for the delivery address. The value added tax is also initially calculated using this parameter. Can be changed again in the order form
...
{Form-Configuration}...
If you want to assign a configuration of an existing product to the order form in the checkout, enter the product ID of the corresponding product for the formConfig parameter.
...
{Custom-Styles}...
To prevent the Cart widget from covering the target page with a transparent element in the folded-in state, a Javascript must be installed in the target page.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<script src="https://secure.affilibank.de/_files/js/cart_widget.js"></script> |
Custom Styles
In order to ensure that vendors have the opportunity to define custom styles for specific elements, it is possible to specify custom styles in the URL of the iframe. At the moment the following element can be styled:
...
productName...
productPrice...
addToCartButton...
buyNowButtonThe mapping of the element keys to the elements is illustrated in the following diagrams:
The custom styles should be specified in the JSON-format, for example as follows:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
{
"buyNowButton": {
"backgroundColor": "red"
},
"addToCartButton": {
"color": "green",
"backgroundColor": "yellow"
},
"productName": {
"color": "blue"
},
"productPrice": {
"color": "magenta"
}
} |
Some of the possible properties are:
...
color...
backgroundColor...
| |
