The virtualCART item tags are very confusing. What are they and what are they supposed to look like?
The item tag is field separated variable. What this means is that the item tag consists of several different information about the product separated by a field separator (in this case a ^). This is what each field corresponds to: “cartcode^partnumber^description^cost^quantity^ship_cost ^insurance_cost^unit_of_measure^weight^photo” Here’s an example of how an item code will look like: “b-xxxx^PN-xyz^This is a widget^5.00^1^2.30 ^.50^ea.^10^http://www.cartserver.com/mypic.gif” Of course not all fields are required. Only the first 5 fields are necessary. The weight field (field 9) is only necessary if you are using real time shipping calculation.
