How to use our Shopping Cart

Our shopping cart system is a "Versign" secured cart that encrypts all data.  You can, therefore, process transactions without fear of third party intervention.  The procedure is very simple:

• When you've found a product that you'd like to purchase, simply click on the "add to cart" button.  This will take you to a page that displays the part number, quantity, description and price of the product.   You may change the quantity of the item you'd like by just putting the correct quantity in the "Qty" box on the left and clicking on the "update" button on the right.  This will change the totals shown.  

• To continue shopping, click on the "Click here to continue shopping" text at the bottom of that page.  You will be returned to the last page you selected.  You may continue to add products to the "shopping cart" by following the above process.

• You can, at any time, click on the "View shopping cart" button in the upper right of each page.  This will show you all of the items that you have in your shopping cart.

• You may also remove any items from your shopping cart by clicking on the "Delete" button toward the right of the item selected. 

• When you are finished shopping and are ready to check out, click on the "Send Order (Secure) button on the bottom of the first shopping cart page.  

• You will then see a form that requests both billing and shipping information.  If the shipping destination is the same as the billing address, just check the box located at the top of the shipping information column.  The cart will automatically complete this information for you.  

• Towards the bottom of the page, you will see the fields for the entry of your type of credit card and credit card number.   Again, this information is encrypted and can be safely transmitted to us.

• When you have completed the information required on this page, click on the "Send order now" button on the bottom of that page.

• You will then see a "Pre-order" confirmation page.  This shows you exactly what your order will look like, the billing and shipping information and the totals for each item and shipping.  Please note that the shipping charges are only estimates and that you will only be billed for "actual" shipping charges.   BoatFix does not mark up the shipping costs or add handling charges.  You pay exactly what we pay. 

• If the order is correct, click on the "Click here to confirm order (final step)" button on the bottom of that page.   Only click the button once.  This is when the order is actually processed and may take a moment or two.  If the information is not correct, hit your browser's back button to return to the previous page. 

• The next page you see will be a confirmation of the actual order.  This will contain your order number and the order details.  You should print this for your records.  You will also receive a confirmation by email.  

That's all there is to using the shopping cart.  Thank you for shopping with us.  If you have any questions, please drop us a note or give us a call.
