How to Shop
>> Enter >> Browse >> Order >> Check Out
Shopping using the Online Store is easy
Upon entering the store, you usually can view available categories, and navigation to the selected products is intuitive. This part of the store is very much tailored to suit your business needs, promote your service or product, and provide logical navigation.
As you come in to the store, the program starts to track your purchase activity with a shopping cart. This cart will stay with you until you leave the store, working across multiple departments, types or categories of product or service.
Demo Department Entry
The entry and store, or even parts of the store, can be made client specific or restricted access, with multi level permissions and stock information or availability customised depending on variables such as region or priority. This is very flexible, and is one of the key features which makes the Webshop suitable for business to business or service portal activity.
Sample Department Catalogue style
The most popular configuration of the Webshop features a catalogue style interface. Shoppers are presented with the product small image (or "thumbnail"), details such as pricing, box or pallet quanitiy, availability, maybe stock on hand or state by state, perhaps sizing for shirts or hats, colours, and the ability to order the product through a simple and clear process.
The shopping cart is visible in the top right hand corner of the screen, which is where it stays the entire time you are in the store.
The Shopping Cart - always visible
To order from the store, you can type a quantity in, r for just one unit, click "add". This mechanism varies depending on the situation and use of the store. You can see the products as they are added, and you can edit the quantity or product details in the cart at any time. If you order products and then change to a different part of the store, the cart still remains visible, with its contents.
This makes it very easy to understand and saves time switching between the cart and the browsing area. Just like in a physical store, the actual order is still in progress and subject to change until you check out.
Checking-Out - Saves details for next time
Checking out is simply a matter of choosing to check out, and flling in your address, shipping details and payment method. Vmedias webshop offers a variety of payment methods, including direct to bank credit card transactions, account ordering, debit accounts, micro transactions and pay per interval type arrangements. This again is customised per shop, and different options can be given for different clients. If you have used the shop before or have authorisation or membership, the shop can be set up to save or access these details to make the process of ordering very quick and easy for your customers.
Once you have entered the details, an invoice account is presented for reference and printout.
