Managing orders – Quick Shopping Cart

Orders are assigned and organized by invoice number. You can view and search for invoices on the Quick Shopping Cart® Manage Orders page. From this page, you can process orders for shipping, create shipping labels, add notes to the order, and various other individual and bulk order processing tasks.

All order processing begins from the Manage Orders screen. See Searching orders for information. Some tasks can be processed in bulk — that is, multiple orders can be processed at once. Other tasks can only be processed one order at a time.

Bulk Order Processing

These processes can be used on multiple orders at once.

  • Export Orders — Export one or more orders to an Excel® spreadsheet file. Select the orders to be exported, and then click Export Orders.

How to publish – Quick Shopping Cart

Publishing your Quick Shopping Cart storefront creates your Online Store and moves it to the Internet. The Publishing page lets you view changes made to your store since the last update, preview the store before publishing, and publish (or update) the storefront.

Whether publishing your storefront for the first time or updating your storefront, just click Start Publish. Before publishing, you can preview the site by clicking Preview Site.

Remember, the first time you publish, it may take 24-48 hours for your store to display on the Internet. This is because it takes time for your website to spread throughout the various Web servers that make up the backbone of the Internet (we call this Domain Name Server propagation).

Walkthrough: configuring order processing – Quick Shopping Cart

This article is part three of our Quick Shopping Cart® Walkthrough series, designed to guide you through creating an online storefront using Quick Shopping Cart. Go to the beginning of the series.

Time to Complete: 1 hour.

Once you’ve added products to Quick Shopping Cart, processing orders involves many external factors. Payment, tax, and shipping options all involve third parties.

Because the configuration is open-ended, this walkthrough uses our imaginary shirt company for examples to better inform your decisions instead of dictating how your store must be configured.

The examples show accepting PayPal® payments, location-based tax, and shipping with USPS.

After you configure your payment, taxes, and shipping information, all of the buttons displayed across the top of your screen will display check marks except the Publish button.

You can click Preview to see how your store will look once published. If you have any changes to make, click the appropriate button.

If you’re ready to start selling, simply click Publish. For more information, see How to publish

We also publish a mobile version of your storefront optimized for smartphones. With Deluxe and Premium accounts, you can customize your mobile storefront to attract even more mobile shoppers. For more information, see Customizing your mobile storefront .

Walkthrough: Designing Your Store – Quick Shopping Cart

After you set up Quick Shopping Cart®, you need to configure several aspects of your online store. These areas display as buttons along the top of your screen and display check marks once each area is complete.

We created three walkthroughs to guide you through creating your online store. The first walkthrough is Designing Your Store.

  • Template Images
  • Your Storefront Information
