Product Ordering Selections
When a shopper decides to add an item to their shopping cart, if the item requires a selection of options, like size or color, they will also be presented with the options, which must be selected for the item. These options are all in your control and you may have as many options per item as needed. Before the item is added to the cart, these selections are checked for completeness, and the shopper is asked to make the necessary selections if they have failed to do so. Additionally, they must enter a quantity, which always defaults to 1. You can have selectable options or text input. For example, you may offer monogramming on an item and will need the shopper to tell you the monogram letters.

Shopping Cart Adjustments
When viewing the cart, the shopper may choose to remove an item or change its quantity. ez-Vendor™ provides an easy way for them to perform these functions, and recalculates the item total. Even when the item has tiered pricing, the correct tier for the quantity will be entered when an item is added to the cart or when the shopper changes the quantity.

Checking Out
At check-out, the shopper will be asked to enter all the shipping and billing information you will need. If the shopper has ordered in the past, and they entered a password and account name, ez-Vendor™ will attempt to locate their records. If found, all information (with the exception of full credit card number) will be displayed for them. This fast lookup feature makes it easy for returning customers to order quickly from your store. We even remember which shipping option they selected last time, and how they preferred to handle payment.

Payment Options
Since many shoppers are still wary of entering their credit card information on the internet, ez-Vendor™ gives them three choices for handling this information.

Enter credit card number and expiration date - This is the standard option.

"Call me for Credit Card" - this option notifies you that you must call the shopper to get their information over the phone.

"Faxable Form" - This option gives them a place to hand-write or type their credit card number and expiration on the completed order form which they can print and fax to you.

Order Notification
You are notified of all completed orders by email. This will contain most order information but will not include the credit card number of the shopper. You will be able to retrieve this and any other order details by logging into the secured ez-Vendor Merchant Administration Site for your store.

Important Note (SECURITY)
All ez-Vendor™ sites use an Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate on our server. This allows the ordering portion of your Online Store to be secured and encrypted.
