They do not apply to stores running as a hosted application under a ProductCart Live agreement. ## Steps to Edit it All of ProductCart's files are by default included in a folder called *productcart*. You may rename the *productcart* folder to personalize the address of your store, but you should NOT remove it, or alter the folder hierarchy. You can rename the *productcart* folder before or after you install and activate ProductCart, but since there are a few things to change if you do this after the fact, it’s a good idea to make this change before you start using the software. For example, the URL to the default homepage is typically something like:   ``` http://www.YourStore.com/productcart/pc/home.asp ``` But you might want to change it to something like:   ``` http://www.YourStore.com/shop/pc/home.asp ``` You **must not remove** the *productcart* folder. To rename it, follow these steps:   1. Locate the file *productcartfolder.asp* in the *includes* directory and download it to your local system using your favorite FTP program   - Open the file with Notepad or HTML editor and change the name *productcart* to any other name that you would like to use (only use alphanumeric characters in the name and no spaces). Save the edited file and re-upload it to your server via FTP     ## "Order Received" E-mails - Change the name of the *productcart* folder itself to the new folder name that you have just entered in the *productcartfolder.asp* file. In the example mentioned above, the file would be edited from   ``` private const scPcFolder="productcart" ``` to   ``` private const scPcFolder="shop" ``` You might also need to change the link in the 'copy' for the 'Order Received' email, which can be accessed via: *Settings\> Store Settings\> E-mail Settings.* - [Managing Your Products](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/managing-your-products?hsLang=en) - [Managing Orders](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/managing-orders?hsLang=en) - [Managing Customers](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/managing-customers?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Apparel Add-On](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/apparel-add-on?hsLang=en) - [Upgrading ProductCart](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/upgrading-productcart?hsLang=en) - [Change Logs](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/change-logs?hsLang=en) - [Store Settings](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/store-settings?hsLang=en) - [Security](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/security?hsLang=en) - [Shipping Options](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/shipping-options?hsLang=en) - [Payment Options](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/payment-options?hsLang=en) - [Tax Options](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/tax-options?hsLang=en) - [Advanced Technical Articles](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/advanced-technical-articles?hsLang=en) - [Pages](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/pages?hsLang=en) - [What's New In ProductCart](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/whats-new-in-productcart?hsLang=en) - [Marketing](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/marketing?hsLang=en) - [How To's](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/how-tos?hsLang=en) - [Google Analytics](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/google-analytics?hsLang=en) - [QuickBooks Sync](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/quickbooks-sync?hsLang=en) - [Default](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/default?hsLang=en) - [Configurator](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/configurator?hsLang=en) - [SEO](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/seo?hsLang=en) - [Mobile Commerce](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/mobile-commerce?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Customizing Your ProductCart Store](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/customizing-your-productcart-store?hsLang=en) - [ProductCart Apps](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/productcart-apps?hsLang=en) - [Hidden Topic](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/hidden-topic?hsLang=en) - [Reports and Exports](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/reports-and-exports?hsLang=en) [![ProductCart Logo](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pc_logo.png?width=200&height=93&name=pc_logo.png "ProductCart Logo")](https://netsourceinc.com) NetSource Commerce, Inc. **|** Headquarters - 3700 South Pine Avenue, Ocala, FL 34471 **|** Tel [(800) 709-3240](tel:+8007093240) **|** Fax (352) 401-0353 [mailto:help@productcart.com](mailto:help@productcart.com) Copyright © 2026, NetSource
