How a <strong>StoreFront</strong> Web Store Works<br />

Understanding how your <strong>StoreFront</strong> web works and the flow that the ordering and checkout<br />

processes take will be very helpful to you as you design your site. The entire shopping<br />

process for your customers can be divided into a few main sections. These are the Ordering<br />

Process, the Saved Cart, the Search Engines, and the Checkout Process. These are described<br />

in greater detail in the following pages, along with a list of <strong>StoreFront</strong> files you will find<br />

in your web and a description of the functions they perform.<br />

THE ORDERING PROCESS<br />

The ordering process is the process by which a customer enters your site, browses the<br />

products in your inventory, and chooses the ones they want. This essentially begins when a<br />

customer enters your site and views the homepage. Ideally, your customers should be<br />

provided with easy access to product pages you have created to display your inventory, as<br />

well as conveniently placed links to the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Search Engine.<br />

Product pages can be located anywhere in the site and customers can browse freely through<br />

the web as they order, taking as much time as necessary. However, if a customer is completely<br />

idle for more than 20 minutes, their shopping session will expire and they will be<br />

required to begin a new order.<br />

In addition to ordering products, customers can also add items to their Saved Cart for purchase<br />

at a later time. When the customer is finished ordering, they will proceed to the checkout<br />

process.<br />
