Add Your Product
Begin the process by adding a product through the "Area Management" section of the Password Protector v6.2 control panel. The product addition utility is found by scrolling down to the section of the page labelled "Add New Product" and then completing the form with the requested information. The requested field vary based on your currently selected 3rd party credit card processing firm. In order to select a credit card processing form, you will need to find the option labelled "What is your credit card payment gateway?" within the program's options editor.
Find the Product's Call ID
Once you have successfully added a product into the Password Protector v6.2 database, the product will now appear within the "Area Management" section of the control panel under the heading labelled "Current Products". The table of products is split into multiple columns. Locate the column labelled "Call ID" and proceed to find the "Call ID" of the product you have just added.
Format the Payment Link
Copy the "Call ID" which you have just located within the "Current Products" table and proceed to create a link on your web site in the following format:
http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/process.pl?Call ID Here
Therefore if your domain is "yahoo.com", process.pl is located within "cgi-bin/adpass621/", and the "Call ID" for your product is "q42u244B", then the link would be formatted as follows:
http://www.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/adpass621/process.pl?q42u244B
Format the Confirm Purchase Template
The screen that appears when a user accesses a product purchase page being handled by Password Protector v6.2 is controlled by the "templates/cconfirm.data" file. Open this file in any common text editor such as NotePad and proceed to make the desired changes page's content.

You will also need to place the vital %link% tag within the template. This tag will display either a formatted link or a submit button that will allow users to proceed with their purchase. To control the output of this link, edit the option labelled "Use links or forms on process.pl order screen?" within the program's options editor.
Additional information on editing this template can be found within your owner's manual.
