The below instructions provide the step-by-step procedure to buy a product with e-Business 6.0 website:
The below procedure is also applicable for purchasing a Membership (Student, Corporate, Individual etc.,). Once the purchased Membership status is updated to 'Shipped', the membership details can be viewed under the 'Your Information' section (My Profile>Your Information>Membership). |
Click the 'Proceed to Checkout' button to proceed further. The user will be prompted to log in here if the website was browsed as a guest user.
You can also modify the cart items by increasing the item quantity or removing an item before you proceed to checkout. |
The checkout wizard is a 4 step wizard covering address selection, review the order, order payment and order confirmation.
Under the Address step of the wizard, choose the Billing Address and the Shipping Address in the 'Select your Address' section. User can also select the Shipping Type from the Shipping Method drop-down to calculate Shipping and Handling charges.
Shipment Type is a required field in Orders entity and hence when the order is generated, the Order GE takes the default value defined in the orders entity (value of ShipTypeID), if one is not supplied explicitly. This value is 1 in the stock system (and can be a different one in the client DB) and the shipping/handling charges will get applied if the order line qualifies even if the Shipment Type doesn’t have web enabled flag checked in the backend. So, if associations do not want any shipment type to be applied, the guidance is to create one (doesn’t matter if it is web enabled or not) but important thing is to not add any shipping matrix record and use that as the default value so that orders generated through ebiz do not have shipping and handling applied unintentionally. |
Click Next to reach the 'Review' step.
Once the order has been placed successfully, the user can review the details of the order on the 'Order Confirmation' page. An email notification will also be sent on the registered email address.
For the Association products with Zero dollar price, the application skips the payment page to provide a faster checkout experience. After the product was added to the cart and the order was reviewed, the user will be redirected to the Confirmation page instead of the Payment page to place the order. |
