The "new product" (or "edit product") page contains a lot of options; many of them are optional, but this page describes each one and what they do.
Required Information
Item
This is the item that you wish to be delivered to the customer. CasperVend delivers by exact name, so make sure that if you rename an item in your DropBox, you also update the Item listed in your product
Important: Providing an "item" is optional (even though it's in the "required section") because some merchants use our ANS feature to "log" the sale, without actually delivering anything. Therefore it's possible to create a product that doesn't deliver anything, so make sure that you do actually set an item here if you want an item to be delivered.
Name
The name of your product. We suggest that you avoid putting your brand name into the product name, and avoid unnecessary punctuation. For example, "HoloVend Expansion Pack" and not "==={CASPERTECH}=== HoloVend Expansion Pack". This will make your products easier to manage.
Texture
You need to select a texture to display on the vendor. You can either:
- select a texture which exists in your DropBox, or...
- directly enter the UUID of a texture (and save the DropBox space)
Price
This is where you set the price the customer should pay for the product.
By default it is set to L$0 - so if you never change it, you'll be giving away your products for free!
Permissions
This is where you tell the website what permissions YOU put on the product - this setting does not change the permissions on the product packaging.
This setting does, however, control whether the customer can redeliver a product. If you mark it as copiable on the website, the customer can redeliver the product. If you do NOT mark it copy, they will be unable to redeliver a copy.
Optional Information
Variants
This setting allows you to quickly create alternative versions of the main product - for example, different colors or different permissions (copiable vs. no-copy). Each varient is considered a "child" product of the primary - stats are linked to the primary product, and the optional options below are identical between the primary and varient versions.
Each varient may have a different name, item, texture, price, permission set and marketplace association. Everything else is about that product identical to the primary product's setting.
Version
If you list version numbers on your products, either internally or publicly, enter that here.
Quantity
This is where you specify whether a product is unlimited (no limit on number sold), or a limited edition (limited to x-quantity on the grid).
Do NOT use this for products which are no-copy to YOU such as breedable packs. Caspervend handles no-copy quantities automatically without needing to specify quantities here.
Limits
Here you can set a limited # of sales to each customer - for example, if you only want each customer to be able to buy one copy for themselves. (They could still buy ten copies if they wish, BUT would have to send the other nine to nine other people.)
You can also block a customer from claiming redeliveries - this is automatic if the "copy" box is not checked farther up the page.
Start Date / End Date
These are not implemented yet (June 2013).
Second Item
This allows you to deliver a second item with the purchased item. This is a one-time delivery - if the customer chooses to redeliver the purchased item later, the 2nd item will not be sent with it.
Demo Item
This option allows you to deliver a demo item to the customer. This is NOT a rezzing option! The customer will actually be physically given the item selected for this option!
This is especially useful for skin, hair or wearable makers, who often have demos available for customers to try on to see if they like the look with their avatar.
Note: The item delivered doesn't have to be an object - you can, for example, choose to deliver an informational notecard about your product instead via this option.
Landmark
Your store landmark gets selected here.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you RENAME your landmark to something like "(your store name) - Main Store" instead of the default SL format that includes the sim name. The reason is because if you have to move, you can just name the new landmark to match the old landmark's name, delete the old landmark, and then drop in the new.
If you keep your landmark named in the default SL format, you'll have to replace the landmark in every single product listing if you have to move in the future. And if you have a lot of products, that is very time consuming.
