How does the E-Commerce system work?
The system has been designed to be as simple to use as possible by your customers - they simply check your products page, and add items to their virtual shopping basket - when they have everything, they select "checkout" and enter their details - you will then be sent an e-mail with those details so that you can then arrange delivery, etc.
To setup the e-commerce system in Site Designer:
1. You'll first need to create a products page listing your products and their prices (this is one of the standard styles and layouts you can choose from)
2. Add a basket page giving your email address and upload the site.
3. Once uploaded, people who visit your site will be able to browse your page of products. Next to each product will be an "add to basket" button. Pressing this will add the item to a shopping basket page. From here, the visitor will be able to change the quantities and decide if they want to buy. They will then be asked to enter their details. You will receive an email detailing the order and the customer. You can then contact them to arrange payment and deliverys.
4. Any items that a customer has put into their shopping basket will stay there for up to one day - so they don't have to everything in one fell swoop, but can come back several times and build up their order.
