texte = I began setting up my WebCat store last week, and I did use the GenStore folder as suggested. 2 things about that... First, I have found myself replacing most of the gen. store templates with the TeaRoom ones. They seem to work better. Second, I cannot submit an order. Instead of getting the thank you and email and everything, I get a note that says this credit card is not accepted. I have WebCat and Merchant, but nothing like MacAuthorize. What I want to do is set it up so that I recieve an email notification of the order, and a fax with the credit card number and info so that I can punch in the order by hand and authorize it that way. I know this is slower, but I am not getting the kind of order quantity that warrents anything more sophisticated. I know that I am missing a piece of the connection here, but I don't know what. Any hints?Thank you,Janna>>For a while now I have been observing this list in anticipation of>>beginning to use WebCat. Well the time has come!
