4 The ESGR Web Ordering System Highlights of the ESGR web store Purchases by authorized personnel are automatically deducted from committee budgets determined by ESGR National Headquarters.

5 The web store has been recently updated to make it easier than ever to purchase items required by state committees to support their mission.

6 If you have ever purchased anything online, you will find the ESGR web store very familiar. But even those purchasing online for the first time will find it easy to use.

7 Links to everything you need can be found on the very first page. This includes: Sign in / Out Product categories Shopping cart Check-out Remaining budget Purchase history Cart and Checkout History and Budget Sign-in

8 You ll also find: A list of best sellers Featured products A search feature News Help Contact information You can also sign up to receive store news by . News Contact info

9 You must log in with an assigned user name and password issued by Exhibit Arts to make a purchase from the ESGR Web Store. Note: The Register feature listed on the web store is inactive.

10 If you forget your password, you may recover it here by typing your user name ( your address ) and clicking on Recover Password and it will be ed to you.

11 Once you are logged in, you are ready to shop!

12 Hover your pointer over a product category. As your pointer moves over any words that are active links, the words will change color to an underlined blue.

13 Click on the highlighted link to view those products. For this exercise, Let s choose Promotional Items.

14 Pictures of the available items in that category now appear in the center of the page. Be sure to scroll all the way down to view all available items on that page.

15 Note that a small page icon appears under the header next to the words Result pages. That means there are additional items in this category listed on more pages. Click on the numbers to view more items.

16 Also notice that Categories, Bestsellers, Help and Your Cart menus still remain in the side columns for easy access, no matter what category you choose.

17 Let s buy some plastic bags with a handle and the ESGR logo, great to hold giveaway items at events or tradeshows. Click on either the item image or the blue text item title.

18 This will bring up a larger image of the item, show additional details about that product and order options. Note it shows the weight of that item here. More on that later.

19 If applicable, select a color, then choose a quantity. Then click on add to cart. Note that adding an item to your cart does not commit you to purchase that item. That happens at checkout.

20 When you add an item to your cart, it brings you to a screen that shows all items you ve selected to purchase. Here you can either delete items, choose to continue shopping, or go to the check-out.

21 When you select Check-out, it takes you to the shipping and payment screen. Make sure your information is correct. Note that in the continental United States, UPS Ground is the only shipping choice.

22 ANY SHIPPING LEVEL OTHER THAN GROUND MUST BE PRE- APPROVED BY ESGR HQ. Only Guam, Puerto Rico and The Virgin Islands uses the Other carrier choice. Those ship USPS.

23 IMPORTANT NOTE. Due to an issue with UPS which ties in to the store to estimate shipping, EACH TOTAL ORDER MAY NOT WEIGH OVER 150 LBS or the order will be rejected.

24 You will get an error message on this screen in this case. All you can do is to go back and reduce the number of items in your cart until it approves the order.

25 Unfortunately we do not have a way to automatically keep track of weight totals as you shop at this time. So it s a good idea to keep track of weights on the side as you shop.

26 Note that if the items you need total over 150 lbs, at this time, the best solution is to place the extra items on a separate order. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

27 Click continue to finish processing your order. That brings you to this final page where you check to make sure your details are correct and submit your order.

28 Note that this is a long page, since it lists a lot of details, and you must scroll all the way down ( double checking your details on the way ) to find the submit button. Scroll all the way down To find the submit button..

29 Just above the Submit button, there is a box to enter any special notes pertaining to your order.

30 Once you are done, click on the Submit button, and your order is placed. When you click Submit you will be asked if you want a printed confirmation, which is a handy way to keep track of your orders.
