Application Settings

Introduction

You can find this section under Application Settings > Application Settings in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

Application Settings act as default settings for almost all of the features within the IRP. Although there are a large number of settings, it is unlikely that you will need to amend many of them as they are included so that an expert can fine-tune your IRP-based website.

Help topics in this Knowledge Base also reference Application Settings that are related to each IRP Admin section.

In general terms, the Application Settings section relates to the following areas:

  • How the website looks.
  • Configuration options for key payment systems such as PayPal and Worldpay.
  • Which features are enabled and which features are disabled.
  • How the IRP is run on a day-to-day basis.
  • Configuration options for third-party add-ins such as affiliates or scripts.
  • Other areas of the IRP.

The main Application Settings are defined when your IRP is being set up. After this, there is generally no requirement for you to change any of the settings unless new features are being added or switched on.

The default values are mostly ones that a default setup should use. Only someone who is qualified in IRP Administration should make changes to Application Settings. For changes to be effective, the Admin User must click the Application Settings button followed by the Uncache button in the bottom nav.

Note: Application Settings are grouped into multiple sections containing configuration options for each IRP feature. Each of the sections is listed in the following table. There are too many individual settings to cover in detail in this help topic, however most settings have a tool tip that provides detailed information on how to use the setting. You can view tool tips by hovering your cursor over the information icon adjacent to each setting: IRP help icon.

Gift Wrap Settings and Advanced Settings

This help topic provides an overview of the main IRP Application Settings. Advanced Settings and Gift Wrap Settings are available by clicking the Other Settings button at the top of the ApplicationSettings.aspx page – these are described in separate topics: How to Manage Advanced Settings and How to Manage Gift Wrapping.

Add to Basket

This group defines which elements are displayed as part of the add-to-basket controls. Some key settings are as follows:

Setting Description
Enable Ajax Add To Basket If enabled, the Buy button will work off an asynchronous AJAX post and not a post back. The effect of enabling this setting is that the customer will not immediately be redirected to the basket page when they click the Buy button; instead they will see a pop-up window that offers them the choice to go to the basket page or to continue shopping. On desktop product listings pages, stock availability is determined based on the stock 'out of stock' status in the same way as the desktop models page.
Enable Add To Basket From Stock Options Popup This setting affects the functionality of the stock pop-up control that is displayed when a customer hovers their cursor over 'Options Available' on products on a number of product listings on the front-end.
• When the setting is enabled, the stock pop-up control will display a drop-down list of stock options for that product and allow the selected stock option to be added to the customer's basket directly from the pop-up.
• If the setting is disabled, the default functionality displaying links to the stock options will be shown.
• If the 'Enable Ajax Add To Basket' setting is enabled alongside this functionality, the stock option will be added to the basket via an AJAX request and the add-to-basket confirmation lightbox will be shown.
• If 'Enable Ajax Add To Basket' is disabled, adding items to the basket from the stock pop-up will direct the customer to the basket page with the selected item added.
Enable Ajax Add To Basket Recommendations If enabled, recommendations will appear on the AJAX add-to-basket pop-up control when a customer clicks the Buy button on the models page.
Show Inactive Stock In Add To Basket If enabled, inactive stock items will be shown alongside active stock items on add-to-basket controls on the models page. Note that customers will not be able to add these inactive items to their basket.
Show Part Code In Add To Basket This has three possible values: 'Do Not Show', 'Part Code' or 'External Stock ID'. This assists IRP clients who wish to display External Stock IDs on their website front-end to tie in with their catalogues or to help shops quickly identify products for telesales.
Show Quantity Discounts Only When Present In Model If enabled, stock quantity discounts will only be displayed on add-to-basket controls on the models page if they are set up for that particular model. If disabled and stock quantity discounts are enabled, the add-to-basket controls will display quantity text boxes beside each stock item regardless of whether that particular model has stock quantity discounts set up. This should be enabled if you only want to allow quantity discounts on specific Models.
Show Stock ID In Add To Basket If enabled, the unique IRP Stock ID will be displayed in the add-to-basket control on the models page beside each stock item within that model.

Admin Settings

This group includes settings for Support tickets, the IRP Setup program and Receipts. Some key settings are as follows:

Setting Description

Show Images On Receipt And Invoice If enabled, product images will be rendered on the receipt and invoice sheets.
Show Setup Program (This setting is not currently in use.) If enabled, the setup bar will appear in the top navigation of IRP Admin for configuring basic settings on your IRP. (See the IRP Setup Wizard Knowledge Base help topic for more information.)

Advanced Pricing

This grouping includes settings for the Advanced Pricing help topic. Some key settings include the following:

Setting Description
Restrict Currencies To Display Currencies Only If enabled and a customer changes their shipping country via their front-end international settings, the currency will be set automatically to the country's default currency if the currency that the customer has selected is not permitted in the new shipping country. The currency remains untouched if the 'Restrict Currencies To Display Currencies Only' setting is not enabled. See Shipping Countries for more information.
Show Only Default Currency When No Display Currencies Available If enabled and you have not configured any additional display languages for shipping countries, then customers will ONLY be able to use their default country currency on your site. For example, this would mean that Canadian customers would only see the CAD option in the 'Currency' section. See Shipping Countries for more information.

Automatic Gift Vouchers

This group includes settings for configuring Automatic Gift Vouchers (see How to Set Up Automated eGift Vouchers for more information).

Setting Description
Enable Automatic Gift Vouchers This is the main switch for the Automatic Gift Voucher feature. When this is enabled, the IRP system will check for orders containing models marked as gift vouchers and will then attempt to generate the voucher codes and email them to the customer automatically by following the values of the other Application Settings in this section.
Automatic Gift Voucher Email Delay This defines the cooling-off period for automatically sending gift vouchers. Once this many minutes have passed since the time the order was placed, any Automatic Gift Vouchers will be generated and emailed to the customer unless prevented by one of the other Application Settings in this section.
Automatic Gift Voucher Email Ignore Delay For Varied Orders When this is enabled, any orders that contain a mixture of both 'normal' items and gift voucher items will not have the voucher codes generated and emailed to the customer even once it is aged past the 'Automatic Gift Voucher Email Delay' setting. Instead, the codes will only be emailed once the order has been moved to the 'Approved' status.
Automatic Gift Voucher Email Send When Approved When this is enabled, all orders will ignore the delay and voucher codes will only be generated and sent once the order has been moved to the 'Approved' status. Send Gift Voucher Immediately If 3D Secure Liability Shifted: When this setting is enabled and an order was paid for by card and has a full 3D Secure liability shift, gift vouchers in the order will be generated and sent the next time that the 'Process Automatic Gift Vouchers' Common Task runs. This setting overrides the 'Delay' and the 'Send When Approved' Application Settings.
Send Gift Voucher Immediately If 3 D Secure Liability Shifted If an order was paid by card and has a full 3D Secure liability shift, then gift vouchers in it will be generated and sent the next time that the common task runs. This overrides the delay and the 'Send When Approved' settings.
Send Gift Voucher Immediately If Amazon Pay When this setting is enabled and an order was paid for via Amazon Pay, gift vouchers in the order will be generated and sent the next time that the 'Process Automatic Gift Vouchers' Common Task runs. This setting overrides the 'Delay' and the 'Send When Approved' Application Settings.
Send Gift Voucher Immediately If PayPal When this setting is enabled and an order was paid for via PayPal, gift vouchers in the order will be generated and sent the next time that the 'Process Automatic Gift Vouchers' Common Task runs. This setting overrides the 'Delay' and the 'Send When Approved' Application Settings.
Automatic Gift Voucher Valid For Days This defines the number of days after an Automatic Gift Voucher has been generated that it remains available to spend.

Show Images In Basket If enabled, product images will be rendered in a customer's basket. If disabled, only the rroduct text will appear.
Show Empty Basket Link If enabled, an empty basket link will be rendered on the basket page allowing the customer to completely empty their basket.

These settings are generally not changed by customers. Talk to your Account Manager for more information if required.

Checkout Process

This group defines customer and guest checkout options and other purchasing options. For dull details about the checkout, see the IRP Checkout help topic. Some key settings are described below.

Setting Description
Address Finder Loqate Service Key If you have signed up with Loqate to use their Address Finder on the IRP, this is where you enter the service key provided by Loqate for their API. This will be a 16-digit code, with each set of 4 digits separated by a hyphen (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
Address Finder Maximum Number Of Results This defines the maximum number of results to show when the customer starts typing their postcode, street or address into the Address Finder. (This value applies only to the first set of results shown, not when the customer subsequently selects a specific locality from the results.)
Checkout Display Style 2 Page Layout You can configure the checkout to have a single-column layout or a double-column layout for screens that are more than 768px wide – for screens smaller than this, a single-column layout will always be used.
Checkout Shipping Method Description Character Limit This determines the number of characters to display for shipping method descriptions in the checkout process. When the text displayed is limited by the Application Setting, an info icon will display the full text. To display the entire description, enter a value of 0 (in which case the info icon will not be displayed). The default value is 45.
Enable Address Finder Note: To use the Address Finder, you need to sign up for an appropriate plan with Loqate (see Loqate Pricing). You are charged only when a customer selects an address from the search results to autofill the address form. Your Loqate account keeps running with minimum fuss through automatic top-ups. When enabled, the Address Finder functionality will show in checkout.
Address Finder
Notes:
1. You can disable the Address Finder for specific countries using the Enable Address Finder setting on the ShippingCountryEdit.aspx page in IRP Admin. For more details, see the Shipping Countries help topic.
2. The Address Finder is disabled in some countries by default due to Loqate having limited data about those regions. If required, you can still enable the Address Finder for these countries using the ShippingCountryEdit.aspx. For a list of these countries, see Address Finder Countries Disabled By Default.
Enable Checkout If enabled, the secure checkout will be available for customers to checkout their purchases. If disabled, the secure checkout will not be available.
Enable Checkout Phone Dialling Codes When enabled, an additional drop-down list displays in the checkout phone number text boxes allowing customers to select a country. This country is then used to append a dialling code to the phone number.
Checkout Phone Dialling Codes
Notes:
1. You can set country dialling codes directly against shipping countries on the ShippingCountryEdit.aspx page in IRP Admin. For more details, see the Shipping Countries help topic.
2. The mobile version of the dialling codes drop-down list does not include the country flag in order to make use of the native drop-down selection on mobile devices.
Enable Credit Card Masking When this is enabled, credit card number entry will use masking rules to automatically add spacing between groups of numbers to mimic what is displayed on an actual credit card. The card type will be detected automatically and the relevant card image will be displayed in the box. You can add masking rules for card type valid lengths on the CardTypeEdit.aspx page – see the Card Types help topic for more information).
IRP checkout credit card Masking
Note that card icons may not be displayed when a customer enters their card number if the card types are not conventionally named on the CardTypeEdit.aspx page. If this is the case, you will need to update the checkout stylesheet with classes for each active card type that do not have the conventional names of 'visa', 'mastercard' and so forth. Make sure that the class names are the card type name with no spaces or special characters. For more details see the Standard Controls Stylesheet help topic. Therefore card icons will be displayed only if, 1) card IINs are set up correctly for all of your card types and 2) you have a CSS class in the checkout stylesheet for the card type.
Enable Expanded Checkout Payment Methods When enabled, all payment methods will display initially expanded, showing the payment method information on the PaymentDetails.aspx / /Mobile/Secure/MobilePaymentDetails.aspx checkout pages.
Enable Guest Checkout Enabling this allows customers to check out as guests rather than sign up for a full customer account.
Set Checkout Display Style 'Display Style 2' is the new improved IRP checkout flow. Display Style 2 has been professionally designed using best-practice UX principles and has the potential to:
  • Increase conversion rate
  • Reduce drop-out
  • Improve customer satisfaction
Show Additional Place Order Button At Top Of Page When enabled, an additional ‘Place Order’ button will be displayed under the ‘Order Notes’ section at the top of the Order Summary pages:
Mobile/Secure/MobileOrderSummary.aspx
Secure/OrderSummary.aspx
Trade/Secure/OrderSummary.aspx
Note that if the customer’s Shipping Country requires Terms and Conditions, the new ‘Place Order’ button will not be displayed. In addition, if the customer is checking out via Amazon Pay, the new ‘Place Order’ button will not be displayed.

Enable Click And Collect Pay In Store When enabled customers will be able to select "pay in store" as a payment method for click and collect orders, when disabled this won't be available.

Enable Click And Collect Pre Pay This setting determines whether or not a customer can choose to prepay for a click and collect order using a credit card.

Customers

This group includes settings for customer accounts and geo location. Some key settings are described below.

Setting Description

Setting Description
Enable Google Certified Shops (This feature has been replaced with the ‘Google Customer Reviews’ feature.) When enabled the Google certified shopping badge code and order confirmation module will be rendered throughout the IRP front end. All other Google certified shops application settings must be set for this to function correctly. If Google shopping or search feeds have been set up then the feed specifications must be flagged as Google shopping feeds and the suffix value that is used to uniquely identify the stock items for each feed must also be updated. This is used to supply the Google shopping product information in the badge and order confirmation content when required. This can be done on FeedSpecificationEdit.aspx.
Enable Large Image Popup On Models Page (This functionality has been replaced with the Application Settings 'Set Model Images Desktop Display Style', 'Set Model Images Desktop Popup Display Style', 'Enable Desktop Models Image Zoom Popup' and others; see the Models help topic for more details.)

It will ultimately allow the model image to be clickable - will open a light box showing the original full-sized image.

Emails

Setting Description
Enable Email Auditing When enabled every email send will be logged in the database.

Facebook

These settings are for configuring Facebook Dynamic Product Adverts and Facebook conversion tracking. For more details about how to use the following settings, see the Feeds Knowledge Base help topic:

Facebook Event Value Weighting Percentage Complete Registration This is the percentage weighting you give to the event wherein a customer completes their registration details on either the desktop or mobile site.

General Site Settings

There are many settings in this group, controlling numerous aspects of the site — refer to the tool tips for details. You can view tool tips by hovering your cursor over the information icon adjacent to each setting: IRP help icon.
Some of the key settings are

Setting Description
Affiliate Window Include Tax In Totals When enabled, AWIN order totals will be calculated with tax included. When disabled, tax will be deducted from AWIN order totals. A country-level override setting called 'Affiliate Window Include Tax In Totals' is also available on the ShippingCountryEdit.aspx page, with possible values of 'Inherit, 'Yes' or 'No'.
Enable Customer Account Creation This enables customers to create accounts.
Enable Email Address DNS Validation This enables a validation check that the domain name portion of the email address entered by users actually exists. Note that using this will cause extra outbound traffic and potential delays.
Enable IRP Error Recording: This determines whether or not new errors generated by the IRP are recorded in the database and listed on the IRPErrors.aspx page (see IRP Errors for more details) and if the error spike detection Common Task is run. If it is disabled, any previously-recorded errors will continue to be displayed.
Enable Fraud Scoring This enables the fraud scoring feature.
Enable Lazy Image Loading The IRP supports lazy loading of images. 'Lazy loading' means that images are not loaded at page-load time but instead they are loaded as they are needed, for example as they become visible to a customer as they scroll down a web page. This should help to make your website faster and will also save data, processing time, battery power and other resources. By default, lazy loading is enabled on all sites (desktop, mobile and trade) but you can disable it if necessary using this Application Setting.
Enable Retail Site This enables the retail website. Either this or the trade site must be enabled for the IRP to work.
Enable Social Networking Links Enabling this will display your Social Networking links on various pages on your website. Note that you will need to also have the Site Script called 'Social Networking' correctly configured and activated in order for this Application Setting to take effect. In this case the Setting will write out what's in the script and replace the 'Email a Friend' link (so if there is nothing in the script, it will not render). For mobile sites, the 'Social Networking Mobile' site script needs to be configured and activated however in that case the Setting will not replace anything, it is simply on or off. (The same setting is visible on the NavigationSettings.aspx page when you enable the setting called 'Enable Right Navigation'.)
DNS Prefetch List All modern browsers support DNS prefetching via ‘link’ tags in the head section of the web page. In order for your browser to download a resource, such as a Google Analytics or an Affiliate Window script, it first has to carry out a DNS query on the domain name, to see where it needs to send its request. It then sends the request off to the IP address it got back from the DNS query. By enabling the browser to carry out the DNS query part before it needs to download the file, it can speed up the download of external resources, and therefore the overall page load time. You must enter each domain that you want to be prefetched on a new line, without the http:// or https:// prefix, and nothing after the domain name — not even a trailing slash. For example:
www.google.com
www.dwin.com
(NOT http://www.google.com or www.dwin.com/)
Set Sub Department Listing Type This determines the default setting of whether Level 3 (Sub Department) Categories show either the full list of products underneath, or an image based list of sub categories. This setting can be overridden at the category level. Please note that all category levels below and above this have pre-determined listing styles e.g. Departments will always show a category listing, Level 4 Categories will always show the list of products.

Google Analytics API

This includes several settings for the Google Analytics API, including the Profile ID and Service Account Email Address. Refer to the tool tips for details. You can view tool tips by hovering your cursor over the information icon adjacent to each setting: IRP help icon.

‘Bottom Left’: Causes the badge to float in the bottom left-hand corner of the page.
The default position of the badge is ‘Bottom Right’.
Google Customer Reviews In Stock Ship Days This value is required by the Google Customer Reviews functionality to predict when an order will be dispatched if it is in stock. Google will survey customers to determine if items were dispatched and shipped on time so this value must be accurate or conservative. It should be the average number of days it will take to dispatch the order once it has been placed.
Google Customer Reviews Opt In Style This is required for the Google Customer Reviews functionality and specifies how the opt-in module's dialog box is displayed. Possible values are:

‘Bottom Left Dialog’: Displayed as a dialogue box in the bottom left-hand corner of the view.

The default sales rank period on the system to be used for sorting product data lists. 

Accepted Values:

0: All Time

Sales Rank Weight to Quantity Sold/Unit Price. 

The weighting the quantiry sold/unit price has when determing sales rank for sorting product data lists.

By default, these vales are set to 100.00 and 1.00 respectively, meaning that quantity sold takes precedence over the total price. Consequently products that are lower in price but sell in higher quantities, remain competitive on the ranking, even when faced with a high value item, which perhaps has sold in much smaller quantities.  

Example:

Product A

10 quantity sold x 100 = 1000
5 unit price x 1 = 5
Weighted Value = (1000 x 5) = 5000

Product B

2 quantity sold x 100 = 200
50 unit price x 1 = 50
Weighted Value (200 x 50) = 10000

Based on this example, Product A, having the higher weighted value will place higher on the best selling list.

  • AWIN Partner/SalePartner IDs should be set in an array named irpAWINPartnerIDs.
  • Rakuten Partner/SalePartner IDs should be set in an array named irpRakutenPartnerIDs.
Upon setting these arrays with corresponding Partner/SalePartnerID values, when AWIN and Rakuten scripts are rendered, a flag will be set on each to determine whether commission should be allowed or not depending on which Affiliate Partner obtained the credit for the sale.
Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group This value will be used to help determine the Commission Group of a product when rendered on Order Confirmation pages and is used when a free or club voucher has been used on the order. The setting works according to the following scenarios (and assuming that you have entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Setting):
  • If an order has no voucher, the standard Commission Group will be used.
  • If a voucher has been used, compatible Affiliate Network scripts will be modified so that if a product has no specific Commission Group assigned to it via its Category (using the 'Commission Group' setting in the 'Advanced Information' section of the CategoriesEdit.aspx page), it will be assigned whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Application Setting as its Commission Group, for example: 'VoucherCommissionGroupText'.
  • If the product does have a Category-specific Commission Group, the name of the new Commission Group will be composed of whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Application Setting followed by a '-', followed by the value that you have entered for the Category-specific Commission Group, for example: 'VoucherCommissionGroupText-CategoryCommissionGroupText'.
If you have not entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Setting, the following scenarios apply:
  • If an order has a voucher and the product does have a Category-specific Commission Group, the Category-specific Commission Group will be used, for example: CategoryCommissionGroupText'.

The setting works according to the following scenarios (and assuming that you have entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing New Customer Commission Group' Setting):
  • If an order is placed by an existing customer, the standard Commission Group will be used.
  • If a new customer has placed the order, compatible Affiliate Network scripts will be modified so that if a product has no specific Commission Group assigned to it via its Category (using the 'Commission Group' setting in the 'Advanced Information' section of the CategoriesEdit.aspx page), it will be assigned whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing New Customer Commission Group' Application Setting as its Commission Group, for example: 'NewCustomerCommissionGroupText'.
  • If a new customer has placed the order and the product does have a Category-specific Commission Group, the name of the new Commission Group will be composed of whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing New Customer Commission Group' Application Setting followed by a '-', followed by the value that you have entered for the Category-specific Commission Group, for example: 'NewCustomerCommissionGroupText-CategoryCommissionGroupText'.

If there is no voucher used and you have not entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing New Customer Commission Group' Setting, the following scenarios apply:
  • If the order is placed by a new or existing customer and the product does have a Category-specific Commission Group, the Category-specific Commission Group will be used, for example: CategoryCommissionGroupText'.
  • If the order is placed by a new or existing customer and there is no Category-specific Commission Group, the standard Commission Group will be used.
If there is a voucher used on the order and you have not entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing New Customer Commission Group' Setting, but you have entered a value for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' setting, the following scenarios apply:
  • If the order is placed by a new or existing customer and the product does have a Category-specific Commission Group, the name of the new Commission Group will be composed of whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Application Setting followed by a '-', followed by the value that you have entered for the Category-specific Commission Group, for example: 'VoucherCommissionGroupText-CategoryCommissionGroupText'.
  • If the order is placed by a new or existing customer and there is no Category-specific Commission Group, whatever value you have entered for the 'Affiliate Marketing Voucher Commission Group' Application Setting will be used, for example, 'VoucherCommissionGroupText'.

2. In your analytics JavaScript on all pages, you'll need to add the highlighted section above the 'send','pageview'. In the line that says ga('set','dimension1',gclid) you'll need to edit dimension1 to be the dimension you created in step one.
In this case, you should enter dimension1 for this field. The IRP takes care of actually completing step 2.

NOTE ALSO that running Google Optimize will slow down your page load time. Always consult with your IRP Account Manager before enabling Google Optimize.

NOTE: You should enter only the 'XXXXXX' part of the ID, not the 'GTM-' part.
