The concept of SiteLink Web Template is very simple: SiteLink develops, hosts, maintains and upgrades SiteLink web template, which is part of your web site. All you need is to create web site URLs using our Corporate Control Center and put them in your web site. Once your customers click the links in your web site, they will be redirected to SiteLink web template, and then they can login to manage their accounts or register their new accounts.
After you configure your SiteLink web template through Corporate Control Center, five web site URL links are created:
1. Account management
2. Reservations
3. Price table of minimum price of standard rate of unit types
4. Price table of minimum prce of revenue rate of unit types
5. Price table with types of minimum price of standard rate of unit types
a.Logon to Corporate Control Center
b.Click button Web Template Configuration, configure all the values. See Help for configuring web template for detail
c.Tell your web site developers:
1.SiteLink provides five URL links for each of your facility locations. SiteLink will take care of registering existing tenants to manage their accounts and make payment online, taking reservations.
2.Three ways to integrate SiteLink web template with your web site:
a.HyperLink address tag <a href="web address ">Link text</a>
b.HTML IFRAME tag <iframe src ="default.asp" width="100%"></iframe>
c.HTML Frameset tag <frameset cols="25%,75%"> <frame src="frame_a.htm"> <frame src="frame_b.htm"></frameset>

4.Five URL links you get from Corporate Control Center after you configure them.
a.Register their accounts; they need have the gate access code, a unit name and their last name to be qualified for a new account.
b.Provide email address, a security question for retrieving password if tenants forget it, and create password.
c.Use email address and password to log onto their accounts by clicking SiteLink Web Site template link in your web site.
a.Do not need to replace "http" with "https" in the URL links you created. SiteLink replaces these prefixes automatically. (Now we accept https secure link directly.)
b.If you get a login error, please double check the user name and password in the configuration page.
c.If you get credit card process error, make sure you have the right Authorize.Net Login ID and Transaction Key or PPI token entered in configuration page.
After you configured your SiteLink web template, you will be given several SiteLink web template URL links. You put them into your own web site where you want to link to. When users click those links, users are redirected to SiteLink web template for managing their accounts and making reservations.
To do tests, first you create a test tenant account, then do one or more move-ins for that account. After you get ready a test account, you go to your SiteLink web template, register that tenant using gate access code and unit name, set the e-mail address and password for logon.
To test online payment function, you need have an Authorize.Net account or a PPI PayMover account ready, and set up the Login ID and the Transaction Key or Token, check the box of "Put your account in Test Mode" in Web Template Configuration of Corporate Control Center. After you test the payment process successfully, you uncheck the box of "Put your account in Test Mode" to make the online payment live. Remember to turn off the Test Mode on your merchant terminal of Authorize.Net.
For making reservations or appointments, you do not need a test tenant so that both exist or new customers can make reservations. Just click the Reservation button on the header of the web page, fill required information, click Appointment link or select type of units and then click Review button. Now you can select the Edit, Start Over, or the Reserve button. If the test is successfully, you should see both tenant and site manager receive a reservation email or appoint request email. In real business, the site manager need contact the person who sent the email to confirm and validate the reservation.
