Generally, I like my shoppingcart with integrated autoresponder, or is it the other way round?

One thing I particularly liked was that it had a nice and plain HTML code that you could customize to any website you wanted it for.

All you had to do was change the autoresponder code (so it would go to a new autoresponder) and the Thank You Page URL, and you were good to go.

Unfortunately, 1Shoppingcart decided to “upgrade” its Web Forms and no longer offers this simple form, at least not unless you request it from the tech team. Grrrr.

Update: They no longer provide it, period, EVEN IF you request it from the tech team! Double Grrrr!

What to do?

How to Get The Old HTML Form Back

Well, I decided to save my old forms and continue using them. And to help someone who joined 1shoppingcart AFTER the new webforms came out, I decided to post a generic copy of the old form right here, so you can do the same thing if you want to.

In the form below, there are 3 places where you need to make adjustments, and I indicated them in all caps:

1) Your Merchant ID
2) Your Autoresponder ID
3) Your Thank You Page

Just replace those with YOUR info, and you’ll be good to go.

Please note that originally, all items called “input name” (with a < in front of it) started a new line, but because this causes spacing issues on my blog, I eliminated all line breaks, which is why these now appear at other places. It works though.

Here’s the form:

The generic 1shoppingcart web form code

Of course the “new” web forms look more spectacular than this one, but there are reasons why I like to keep things simple. Sure, I might use some of the flashier forms sometime, and I have used them once or twice already, but I’d like to have the option to insert JUST the fields without any of the fancy stuff.

I still like 1shoppingcart, in part because it still affords us the most flexibility when it comes to list building, plus of course it offers a perfect integration with the shoppingcart.

And if you want to try it out for 28 days – no charge and no credit cart required – you can do that by clicking here!

Questions? Would you like the form in text format? Just leave a comment requesting it and I’ll send it to you.
