Ordering products is very easy with our shopping cart. If thumbnails are used in the store, you simply need to 1) select the item by clicking on the linked thumbnail image or product name, then 2) enter the number of the product you would like and hit enter. If thumbnails are not used just start with step 2. Some products may have options you can select using familiar pull-down menus and checkboxes. You will then be taken to the review order section.
Searching
Searching for a product
can be done at anytime during the shopping session by using the search
utility on the left side of the screen. You simply enter the search
term(s) in the text area box below the words "Search For" then hit the
"Search!" button just below the above mentioned box. By default,
a maximum of ten matching products will be returned per page. You
can adjust this number to whatever number you wish. Also by default, the
search engine looks for your terms anywhere in the product description
as well as the product name. You can search the product names only by selecting
the "Search item names only" checkbox.
Reviewing
Order
Once you have entered a
quantity of an item to order, you will be taken to the review screen. There
you will see your total order so far with full details excluding any tax
and/or shipping that may apply. You can also review your order at
anytime during your shopping session by hitting the "Review Order" button
on the left side of the screen. In the review screen, you can edit
your current order.
Checking
Out
You can check out at anytime
during your shopping session (if you have ordered one or more products)
by selecting the "Check Out" button in the review session or on the left
side of the screen. The checkout process will take you through two
or three screens (depending on method of payment) before your shopping
session will be completed.
Pulling
Up a Former Order
You can access a former
order by entering the order number in the text box on the left side of
the screen. This feature is useful if you want to A) continue a session
or B) look up items ordered in a previous session. After entering the order
number, simply hit the "Get Order" button and you will be taken to the
review screen.
Changing
(Editing) Your Current Order
After you choose the quantity
of the item you want, you will be taken to the review screen. There
you can edit not only the quantity of the item you have ordered, but you
can also change the options for each item, or you can remove the item from
your session altogether. Just hit the corresponding "Edit" button
for the product you want to edit and you will be taken to the product page
where you can edit your selected information.
Using
Customer IDs
Customer IDs make re-orders
very easy. When you place your first order you can choose your own
customer ID. You should pick something unique that it easy for you
to remember. When you place your next order, you just need to type
your customer ID and your information can be accessed from your ID. Any
information can be updated by entering the new information in place of
the old information.
Using
Express Check Out
If you have ordered from us before and you remember your customer ID, you can use the express check out feature to order your current product, skip the review page and enter the order confirmation page with your information already entered in the fields. This should only be used after you have ordered your last item for the session.
