Setting Up Your Store: Messages

Finally is the message templates.  You really don’t have to do anything to these to get your store going and just use the defaults.

If you do want to change one click Edit.  Below there is Conditional Block Macro Tags and Basic Macro Tags.  Open these up in another window and browse through them.  You can see how they are used in the default messages.  I changed the wording on some of the messages and also made them simpler, shorter and easier to understand.

You can click the Learn More on the What Are Macro Tags? and see what ones are available. With all the settings now set your store is closer to being opened.  Probably should add some inventory first. The one that I recommend using is ORDERTRACKNO

I am using it in my Drive Thru message. When I mark an order ship, I can send out the Drive Thru message saying the order has been shipped. The Default Message didn’t have this in it. I don’t know if that has changed. When you add the tracking number into your orders page it shows up on the order. Not everyone goes back to check Bricklink I also added a link to USPS.com that adds the tracking number into a clickable link.
