Order Processing 4 Ways - Order processing can be done in 4 ways, Email, Catalog importing and direct connection or Automated Faxing. Each will be described below: 1 - Email Order Processing - Our Application contains a fully integrated email application which allows you to setup a preconfigured email to a vendor. In the vendor screen you can tie a preconfigured email directly to that vendor so when processing an order you can choose that vendor and send the vendor the email directly and wait for a reply. 2 - Catalog Import Order Processing - You can create your own database easily buy manually typing your product information into a new database that we provide. You can also import databases automatically by using our CSV importer. Our importer allows you to setup the rows that you want to pull from your database and then click import. Once this is done, the quote button will search for a product name or number based on the products your customer purchased verses your imported information. 3 - Direct Vendor Connect Order Processing - Direct connection to a vendor database is for companies that drop-ship products from vendors other than their own. This method means that you sell the products on your website or through eBay, Yahoo or Amazon and you then automatically process the order to the vendor and they ship the product. In most cases additional programming will be required to set up this direct connect process. 4 - Automated Faxing Order Processing - We have an integrated faxing system in our application that allows you setup a preconfigured email and then Fax the order to the vendor. A neat feature in this automated faxing is the ability to put a credit card number on the email and transport that information securely to the fax number without a possibility of anyone other than the recipient capturing the information. A small per fax fee is added for using this feature. Vendor Requirements - Vendors require different settings according to how their business structure is setup. Most give order numbers, some requires RMA numbers and some use existing order numbers. Those variables can be set to be sure that order processing and returned items can be followed and refunded correctly.
