# Activate Order template for eCom

## Summary

Order templates only appear in the shop if you activate them there. This is done under *Order support \\ Order template* in the **eCom** section of the respective template.

The fields of this section and their meaning are described in the service description.

## Procedure

1. Open *Order support \\ Order template* and select the template.
2. In the **eCom** section, set the **Display**:
 
<table id="bkmrk-wert-wirkung-keine-e"> <thead> <tr> <th>Value</th> <th>Effect</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>None</td> <td>does not appear in the shop (default)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Start menu</td> <td>appears in the product groups menu</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Highlight menu</td> <td>appears in the Start menu **and** in the Highlight menu</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

3. If necessary, set **Valid from** and **Valid until**. This controls the shop period independently of the client.
4. If necessary, set **Prefix** and **Name** for the display in the shop.
5. Save and provide data.
 

## Why separate appointments for the shop make sense

The field force usually sees promotions a few days before the start to prepare and plan appointments. For the shop, you usually do not want this — the promotion should only appear on the start day.

This is exactly what **Valid from** and **Valid until** in the eCom section are for: they override the period of the client.

## Why a separate name makes sense

If the order template has a name intended for the field force — for example with internal notes or condition information — you can override it customer-optimised for the shop via the **Name** field.

## Only for the shop, not for the field force

The checkbox **Not for field force** makes the template available exclusively in the eCom system.

## Limit assortment to an item list

The checkbox *For the selected customers of this customer list, display only the items of the item list in the eCom system* acts like a closed listing: the customers of this template may only access, search for, and order the items of the item list.

> **Warning:** If a customer appears in **multiple** order templates with this checkbox, the eCom system makes a **random selection** of which one applies. A mixture of several item lists is not possible. Ensure that each customer appears in only one such template.

## What does not arrive in the shop

**No modules** are available in the eCom system. Modules assigned to the order template are not displayed in the shop — regardless of which they are.
