Purchase Process
The series of steps taken to purchase an order online.
Step 1: Catalog Shopping
The customer can add items to their shopping cart using the order button for each item. They can add items on the catalog, but remove and modify their cart in the Order Review.
The customer does does not need to be logged in, although if items have discounts available, they will not show until the customer authenticates.
Step 2: Order Review
The customer can modify the items in their order. No tax or shipping information is available.
Step 3: Authentication
If the customer already has a user identity on the website, they can log-in. If you do not, they have to create a user identity by entering email, username, password, first name and last name.
There are a few restrictions when creating a user identity
- The email address must be valid, and unique in the system
- The username must be unique in the system and meet the website's security settings
If the user has already created an order, creating a user identity will update with this contact information.
If the customer logs into a current user identity, and that user already has an order started, the two orders will be merged.
