Here are the steps you can follow to get benefits out of the e-cart app.

Firstly, click the ‘Install’ button in the ‘E-Cart’ section, after you log onto your Facebook account.

Then, from the drop down list in the ‘E-Cart’ page choose the fan page in, wherein you would like to install the application. Once you are done with it, click on ‘E-Cart’ and sit back. You have successfully added the E-Cart application to your fan page.

Configuration might seem to be a hassle, but we assure you that you’d get it right in the first go. To do this, go to the E-Cart tab and click ‘Configure E-Cart on this tab’.

Enter your basic details, such as full name, email id and phone number, and then enter cart name and select the number of items to be displayed. Then you have to click on the ‘Next’ button to proceed selecting items.

Here, you need to be careful as the app requires you to enter item details such as Name, price, product URL & description for all the items. However, you even need to upload product image for each item.

Next, click ‘Save and Continue’ to check your newly installed application. You’d see the items being listed in the E-Cart tab.

We note that there is a possibility that you might want to make a few changes in the item details at a future stage. To make changes, you have to click on the ‘Edit Settings’ link in the tab. Only the admin can see this option and make the necessary changes. Once changes are made, click on the ‘Save and continue’ button to go back to your fan page.
