question
What templates are available for inclusion in a Template Package, and which storefront page is each one used on?
A Template Package can contain as little as one template, and up to (roughly) 35 templates. Following is a list of each template that is available, and how each one is used by the shopping cart software.
affiliate_account_login.template.php
Allows affiliates to log in to their Affiliate/Customer Account Area. For example, contains an HTML form to submit data required for an affiliate to log in to their account area.
Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_login.php
affiliate_registration.template.php
Displays form non-affiliates can use to sign up for a store's Affiliate Program. For example, contains an HTML form to submit data required for affiliate account creation.
Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_register.php
affiliate_tid_stats.template.php - New in MMv4

Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/aff_tid_stats.php
basket.template.php
Page that displays the contents of the customers cart for review during the shopping process.
Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/basket.php
category.template.php
The default template that is applied to category pages in the storefront. A category can be edited to have a different template applied to it.
Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/category.php
checkout_X.template.php - Renamed in MMv4
One or more templates that are applied to the checkout process. The checkout process may contain any number of pages. Change "X" in the name of the template with the number of the checkout step.
The checkout process starts with the checkout_1.template.php file. Then, when a checkout page is submitted, the system will automatically reload the checkout page with the checkout_2.template.php file applied to it, and so on, until the credit card field is submitted. Once a page containing a credit card field is submitted, the system will load the checkout receipt page instead.
Prior to MMv4, the checkout templates were named checkoutX.template.php. (Note the underscore that has been added between "checkout" and ".template" as of MMv4.)
Storefront URL: http://www.example.com/checkout.php
checkout_receipt.template.php
When a customer successfully submits their payment information, the checkout receipt page will be loaded.

The customer Account Area can be used to display a customer's order history, upcoming subscriptions, contact information, billing options, and more.
