How to add products to your order checkout

Offering products to your customers during the checkout process is easy to do. You'll need to create your products and add them to the "Featured Products" category.

Here are the steps for adding products to your order checkout process:

  1. Make sure the store is offered with your current Main Street Sites package.

    The store is only available if you are using the Back Office service. Please contact us as support@mainstreetsites.com if you would like to begin using this service.

  2. Enter your tax rates (optional).

    Tax Rates can be entered at Setup > Advanced > Tax Rates.  See Tax Rates for details.

    You only need to add tax rates if you will be selling taxable products.

  3. Enter your shipping methods (optional).

    Shipping methods can be entered at Setup > Store > Shipping Methods. See Shipping Methods for details.

    You only need to add shipping methods if you wish to charge shipping for the products sold on your website.

  4. Add products to your account.

    Go to Setup > Store > Products to create your products. See Products for details on adding products.

    As you create your products, make sure to add each product to the "Featured Products" category.  All products in the "Featured Products" category are automatically displayed in the online registration checkout process.

  5. Add content to the Featured Products page (optional).

    Go to Website > Site Options > Global Order Content and find the "Order Featured Products...." entries.   Click on any of these entries to add content to the the "Featured Products" page in your order checkout process.
