This chapter explains the various ordering workflows of PrintShop Mail Web. The ordering workflow

incorporates a shopping cart as seen in common ecommerce internet sites.

The ordering process step by step:

1. Document Creation: The New Document section is a store front listing the documents available to the

customer. Based on the selected document the system invokes a wizard like interface guiding the

customer through the steps of the document creation process. At the end of this process the customer is

shown a PDF softproof. If the customer is satisfied with this document it can be added to the shopping

cart. The customer can continue creating more documents and add those documents to the cart.

2. Shopping Cart: The shopping cart (or basket) allows customers to collect documents created via or

selected from the New Document section. The pricing configuration controls whether the customer may

enter a user definable quantity, pick a quantity from a predefined list or whether the uploaded database

determines the quantity.

3. Shipping Options: This step allows the customer to select one of the available shipping methods (if

applicable), select a preferred shipping date, verify the shipping address information and add comments.

4. Order Summary: This page summarizes the order. The documents in the cart, the address the order

will be shipped to, and the payment information are shown.

5. Order Confirmation: If the order has been processed successfully, the order confirmation page is

shown. This page includes the PrintShop Mail Web order number and transaction information if

applicable.
