After building
your site, it is a good idea to place test orders to ensure that all
components are working properly. If the order places successfully,
you will see a ticket when clicking on View All Orders (like the one shown at the bottom of this page).
This is the same process your customers will do to purchase from
your online store so it is a good idea to learn how it works. To place a test order:
1. Load your
shopping cart's main page and purchase any product
2. Click on the Check Out button
3. Select your State for tax calculation and
click on Submit
4. The following information should show
before proceeding to the Order
Form:
Fraud Warning
We take online fraud seriously.
All transactions are recorded and we will report any fraud
attempt.
Your IP Address
is: 63.204.249.157

5. Choose payment method and fill
Billing
Information.
(All fields must be filled.)
6. Check the Ship To box to ship the product to the same
address as the one listed in Billing
Information. If sending the product
to a location other than the one listed in Billing
Information, fill the
Ship To area and uncheck the box.
7. Click on CONTINUE
If paying by Credit Card enter the Card
Type, Number and Expiration Date
If paying by
PayPal send payment to e-mail shown
If paying by
Check/MOD make note payable to company info shown
9. To finish placing the order click on
CONTINUE or PURCHASE NOW
10. The system will automatically enter an ID
Number for every single order made and will show you a summary of the
order just placed.
11. At this point the order is already
placed. See Order Management to make sure the order when thru
correctly; a ticket like the one shown below should appear. You may then make modifications at will.
NOTE: Once an order has been placed, products
can be removed from it --such as when the customer double clicked the
order instead of once-- but products can NOT be added to the order. To
purchase more items, the customer will have to place another order.
