eComponents: Using the Universal Product eCom

A Universal Product eComponent selling dmAnswers

What does it do?

The Universal Product eComponent is more than just an eComponent - it's a platform for creating eComponents to sell multiple different products beyond telephone numbers.

At present there are Universal eComponents to sell

• dmAnswers: receptionist-like services where a human will answer the customer's call and take a message
  
• Number porting: enable a customer to move a number they are already using to a dmClub service
• dmSwitchboard12: Hosted switchboard product with team and personal extensions, built-in web phone and more. (Read more)

However the Universal Product eComponent will enable us quickly and easily to roll out other products as we develop the dmClub service offering.

How do I use it?

The Universal Product eComponent works in a similar way to other eComponents: configure it in the Dealer Marketing Resources wizard, then copy and paste the code from the wizard into your sales site.

The Universal Product eComponent works with the existing Checkout eComponent, which means you can add dmAnswers and number porting to an existing eComponent-based site without making any significant changes.
