uShopPrintFormCGI.class
The uShopPrintFormCGI applet is similar to the order form
applets except that it does not ask for any payment information and
instead of processing the order, it creates a CGI-generated print
page to allow the customer to print out the order and mail or fax
it to the store. Options let you customize the form's titles,
instructions, and footnoot. To use this applet, you must have
configured the ushop_cgiscript.pl in your cgi directory on your
secure server.
See also ushop_cgiscript.pl.
In addition, this applet also allows you to setup shipping, tax, and payment
options as described below.
