Welcome to XTruLink support

Knowledgebase

You can view or make changes to your Web Portal settings from the Main Menu > Online Sales > Web Portal. The settings are split into six categories, listed in the left sidebar:


Theme

The Theme settings determine the active status, look and branding of your online portal. The URL displayed at the top of the Theme settings is the address where the portal will be available when active.

Portal Activation

Select the Portal Active checkbox only when your settings are complete and you are ready to go live with your online sales portal.

Portal Settings Status

The Portal Settings Status tells you the status of your draft settings and allows you to sync them with your live site. As you save changes to your online portal settings, the changes are saved as a draft and will not immediately be live. You can preview your draft changes by clicking the preview link. The preview link will not be available until you have given your site a name. When you are happy with your site, you can click the Sync Draft to Live button to push your draft changes to your live site.

Site Title

The Site Title will display in the browser tab of your online portal. This should be the name of your organization.

The Footer Text will display in the footer of your online portal and will link back to any URL you designate (see section below).

The Footer Link Back is a way for the online portal to link back to your main site. If you have a page setup that links to the online sales portal, you can use that page address as the link back URL.

Portal Theme Colors

The online sales portal features three customizable colors for various page elements. You can select a header color, menu color, and button color. To get matching color codes from your own website, please consult your website administrator.

Allowed URI for iFrame Embedding

By default, the online sales portal cannot be embedded on another page. You may enter your domain here (e.g., https://mydomain.com) to enable the online sales portal to be embedded via an iframe on your own domain. The iframe will only work on this single domain.

Embed Code

If you have set an Allowed URI, then you can use the Embed Code to embed an iframe of the online sales portal on your own website. For more information on how to embed or customize an iframe on your website, please consult your IT department or website admin.

Branding Image

The Branding Image should be 300 x 60 pixels and in .jpg or .png format. The branding image will display in the upper left corner of your online sales portal.

Disabling the Branding

You may choose to disable the branded areas in the online sales portal pages when embedding the online portal in your own website. Disabling the branding will remove the top header and bottom footer from each page in the online sales portal.

Terms of Service

These terms will appear just below the Complete button during checkout. We recommend linking to your website's Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and/or Refund Policy.

Multiple Users Editing the Portal

The XTruLink B2C portal setup page was designed to be used and edited by one user at a time. Our team is currently working on updates to the portal that will allow for team collaboration, but until those are released please be aware that multiple users editing the portal at the same time could result in loss of data. 



The Menu settings are where you set up the different pages that will make up your online sales portal. Each menu item will be a page on your online sales portal.

Creating Menu Items

To create a new Menu Item (page) for your online sales portal, click Create Menu Item. The box will prompt you to give your menu item a name. Choose a short name that best describes the type of products you plan to put on that page. 

Editing Menu Items

To edit a menu item name, click the Edit icon for that menu item and enter a new name.

Reordering Menu Items

To change the display order for Menu items, simply drag and drop the row to change the order. After you change the ordering, be sure to click Save Changes.

Removing Menu Items

Removing a Menu item will also remove any products (product display image, product details, etc.) from the associated menu page.

Adding Products to Your Menu Page

To add/edit products on a Menu page, click the Menu Name to open the settings for that page. 

  1. Click Add New Item to add a new product item to your page.

    3. Combo - any active combination 
    4. Donation - any active designation (the list will show the designation's "Public Name" from Altru)
    5. Custom - this option allows you to add multiple programs and memberships to one page without configuring a combination price type in Altru. (If selecting a program, please note that custom pages are only available for only for scheduled programs and daily admission programs. Pre-registered programs cannot be added to a custom page.)
  3. Next, select the program name you want to add to your page. If adding a membership, you must also select the membership level. Once all the dropdown items are selected, click Add Item To Page.
