How to Create a Profile

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

You create a new profile by using Commerce Server Customer and Orders Manager. The profile types that are available in Commerce Server 2007 are User Object, Address, Blanket Purchase Order, Credit Card, Organization, and Currency. You can create profiles for any of these profile types. If your business dictates a need for profiles other than those provided by Commerce Server, your site developer can create custom profiles to suit your business needs.

To create a profile

1. To open Commerce Server Customer and Orders Manager, click Start, point to Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 , and then click Customer and Orders Manager.

2. In Commerce Server Customer and Orders Manager, in the Views pane, click Profiles.

3. In the Tasks pane, click New Profile.

4. In the Create New Profile dialog box, in the Profiletype box, select a profile type from the drop-down list, and then click OK.

   The profile types available are:

   • Address

   • Blanket Purchase Order

   • Credit Card

   • Organization

   • User Object

   • Currency

     Note

     The regional settings currency must match the site currency (buyer currency) to make sure that Commerce Server uses the correct format for the site currency.

5. Click OK.

   Depending on the profile type you select, you will have to provide the information that is required to complete the profile.
