- have a standalone shopping cart system with an SSL encrypted checkout page.
- be able to include a tracking code on the receipt page that reports that a sale has occurred that was referred by the ABAA website. Code will be supplied (this is so we will be able to accurately track all sales originating from the ABAA website).
