Additional Setup for the Buy for Group Control

In order for the Buy for Group functionality to display on the Product Detail and Meeting Detail pages:

1.    Create a page and drop the Buy for Group control onto it.
This is called the Buy for Group page. See Configuring the Web Settings for the Buy for Group Control for more information.

2.    On the page where you dropped the Product Detail control, you need to set the Buy for Group to Cart Page URL parameter to the Buy for Group page's URL.
This allows a group manager to be able to purchase a product for his/her group. See Product Detail Page for more information.

3.    On the page that you dropped the Meetings Detail control, you need to set the Meeting Registration for Group URL parameter to the Buy for Group's pages URL.
This allows a group manager to be able to purchase a meeting product for his/her group. See Meeting Detail Page for more information.

You only need to drop the Buy for Group control onto one page and set the Buy for Group to Cart Page URL parameter for the Product Detail page and set the Meeting Registration for Group URL parameter for the Meeting Detail page to the Buy for Group page's URL. In addition, if you are configuring multiple workflows, you only need to create one Buy for Group page since the functionality for Corporate and Staff Management, Committee Management, as well as Chapter Management has been bundled into the Buy for Group control.
