Shopatron Improves Their Bidding System
To help increase efficiency Shopatron, launched the new “Quick Bid” tool today. The Quick Bid was developed entirely based on feedback garnered from Shopatron’s fulfillment partners.
This new tool, allows you to place multiple bids at once, and requires less jumping back and forth between screens. The Quick Bid also lets you quickly select, save, and re-use your order viewing filters.
Here are some basic features of the new tool:
- Set and save your Order Display options (or “filters”) so they automatically take effect the next time you view orders and place bids.
- Place bids from a single screen. Place multiple bids at one time. You stay on the same page after you place a bid. Since you spend less time jumping between bidding screens, you can place your bids faster.
- Click fewer buttons. Want to bid on all items in an order? Click the Select All button. If partial bids are not allowed, clicking one button will always select all items.
- View all order types with the same tool. Request standard PhysiBid, Express, In Store Pickup, and CertiBid orders without clicking a different icon.
- Use new, enhanced filters (such as filtering by specific manufacturer, hide status, or bid status) and find the orders you want to fill more quickly.
The Quick Bid is now the default bidding interface within Shopatron and is visible upon entry to the available order area.

TheSnowPros.org Shopatron Integration
We have recently completed an interesting project involving integration of Shopatron’s Pro Customer API into TheSnowPros.org backend.
According to Shopatron’s Pro Customer API guide:
The Pro Customer API allows merchants to set up customer accounts for their Pro Stores. One Pro Customer application is used to send a manufacturer ID and login credentials to the server for validation. Upon successful validation, the server returns an access or login token, to enable API access or allow Pro Store login. Once this token is available, another Pro Customer application can be used to create a new customer account based on a generic account. A third Pro Customer application can be used to log into a Pro Store account.
Sounds complicated? …We think not!
GammaFX team successfully used this API to deliver a scalable solution, allowing exisitng members of Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and American Association of Snowboard Instructors seamlessly create accounts and login into any Vendors’ Shopatron Pro Store with one click of a mouse.

Another Shopatron XML Checkout Implementation
About a month ago, we were contacted by wonderful folks at Skyjacker Suspensions, who needed help implementing Shopatron checkout on their existing site.
We took on the challenge and build a brand-new store for Skyjacker that features:
- Fast AJAX Year Make Model search
- Sophisticated DB Driven Shopping Cart
- Shopatron XML Checkout
- and much more…
To streamline the normally complex data entry process for Skyjacker, we have also equipped this site with a Content Management Module that imports huge amounts of data promptly and automatically.
This project went LIVE just a few days ago. You can experience it for yourself at http://shop.skyjacker.com/
Supporting Local Filmmakers
Movie industry is a huge part of our our local community. Located in the heart of Hollywood, with windows overlooking world-famous Boulevard of Dreams, we can not help but live and breath it’s bitter-sweet nectar. So we could not say no, when some uber-talented folks at GLK Products has approched us with a request to support our independent local filmmakers by doing a pro-bono project for them. Thus, GLK got a brand new website, and we all get to star in the next Hollywood blockbuster… or not.
Changing your hosts file on Windows Vista and others
During development and testing phases of the web development projects, one might need to direct a certain domain to a new IP address without making a global DNS change.
Enter the HOSTS file!
Simply add the following line to that file (using your own IP and DOMAIN)
192.168.0.1 www.yourdomain.com
and voila… the domain now points to the new server. Obviously this only affects your local machine.
Here are the locations of the HOSTS file on various operating systems:
- Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
- Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
On Vista, it gets a bit tricky…
By default, if you try to modify your hosts file in Vista, it will not let you save it. It tells you that you don’t have permission. To successfully modify the hosts file, run notepad.exe as an administrator and open the file.
- Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
- Right click “Notepad” and select “Run as administrator”
- Click “Continue” on the UAC prompt
- Click File -> Open
- Browse to “C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc”
- Change the file filter drop down box from “Text Documents (*.txt)” to “All Files (*.*)”
- Select “hosts” and click “Open”
- Make the needed changes and close Notepad. Save when prompted.
