Campaign Settings

When the Campaigns app is enabled, you and your customers will be able to create campaign stores. Campaign stores are affiliate stores with the specific purpose of raising revenue for a particular goal. For example, a sports team might want to fund new equipment through the sales of a special shirt.

Before creating campaign stores or allowing customers to create campaign stores, you, the Fulfillment Center, should configure settings related to how campaigns will operate to make sure the settings suit your requirements.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrator access to use this feature
• This feature is only available on the Premium and Enterprise Plans
• You must have the Campaigns app enabled

To Configure Campaign Settings

1. Log into your DecoNetwork Website.
2. Browse to Admin > Websites.

   

   

3. Select Campaign Settings.
   

   The campaign settings are displayed in the main work area.

   

4. Configure the settings as required:

   • Show 'Create Campaign' link puts a link above the footer area of each web page in your online store that lets customers create their own campaign store.
   • Funds Capture/Authorization lets you choose when you would like credit card funds to be withdrawn:
     • Only authorize funds at the time sale/payment is made will only get authorization to use the credit card used to make a purchase at the campaign store and withdraw funds according to the setting chosen for the Orders Capture Option;

       Note that when this option is selected, the campaign maximum length will be limited to 7 days to avoid failed capture attempts due to authorizations expiring.

     • Capture funds at the time sale/payment is made will go ahead and initiate the transfer of funds on the purchase - even if the campaign has not ended or has met its sales objectives.

       Note, not all payment gateways will support direct capture. If direct capture is not supported, this setting will be ignored.

       Use this option with caution as a canceled campaign will result in having to manually refund payments received.

   • Funds Capture Trigger determines when you would like funds to be transferred from the customer's credit card account:
     • Capture funds when campaign ends will transfer funds as the campaign comes to a close;
     • Capture funds when campaign moves into production will transfer funds when the campaign orders enter production, and;
     • Capture funds when order is shipped takes the payment when the campaign order is shipped.

     The terms of your payment gateway may determine when you may capture funds, in which case, this setting will be ignored.

   • Capture even when minimum quantity has not been met will allow the transfer of payments to the campaign owner, even if the campaign goal is not met.

     Note, the production cost of the campaign products is based on the bulk purchase of the products sold. Thus, any volume discounts that apply to the purchase will be factored into the calculation of the wholesale price (the amount the Fulfillment Center keeps from the sale). If the campaign does not succeed, then that discount level and production cost determined at the start of the campaign will no longer be valid.

   • Campaign Maximum Days lets you set how long a campaign may run.
   • Campaign Allow Personalization lets you choose whether to allow campaign owners to enable/disable personalization options for template designs on campaign pages.
     • Yes Campaign owner can choose to allow personalization of template designs when creating a new campaign.

       When "Yes" is selected, the following settings will be available for template designs during the campaign creation process.

       

       If "Lock this layer" is ticked, customers will not be able to modify the design. The campaign owner will also have the option to force the design to always be on top.

       

       If "Lock this layer" is not ticked, the Allow Personlization option will be available. Ticking this checkbox will allow customers to edit text and change colors used in the design. It will also make the following settings available:

       • Caption field: allows the campaign owner to enter a caption prompting the customer to modify the design.
       • Allow Replace checkbox: when ticked will allow the customer to replace images in the template design.
     • No Campaign owner cannot choose to allow personalization when creating a new campaign. Personalization is also disabled after a Campaign is created.
   • Campaign Maximum Products lets you set the maximum number of products that can be created within a campaign.
   • Show Shopping Cart lets you choose whether or not to display the shopping cart link on the campaign's website.
