Trade Page Name serves as a short-name for the Development Centre signup page URL.

Example: results to www.website.com/page/academy-centre/

Trade Page URL is the URL of the trade web department listing page. The customer should be redirected to this page after successful enrolment.

Example: www.website.com/training/training-gear/

The text displaying on the Development Centre page is also customisable from File Maintenance > System Configuration > Customer Order > bottom of page
