A
few notes about our Online Store. First, (being
perfectionists), we're not completely satisfied with the design
layout. However, with a little browsing around, (and reading the tutorial
below), it is quite servicable and contains a lot of great
products. We're pleased to report that we've had many
satisfied customers already - from across town to across the
country. One neat feature for locals is the ability to have
your order prepared for you to pick up in the shop. Save time
on your errand day - no waiting for fabric to be cut!
Second, we are
satisfied with the most important aspect of developing an online
store - your security. All the shopping pages are encrypted
and stored on a secure server, (evidenced by a small lock or key,
usually at the bottom of your browser), so any personal or credit
card information you input is protected.
Depending on your browser
version and security settings, the first time you access the store,
it may advise that the 'digital security certificate' is not one
that you have approved, (or words to that effect). If you
get this, you can simply click "OK" or "Proceed" - That will add our
site, (and it's server), to the list of trusted sites in your
computer browser.
As always, any information
you provide to Scarborough Flair will never be sold or used for any
other purpose than to serve you, our customer.
If you are willing to
invest a little time to familiarize yourself with the layout, the
Online Store is a great place to order any of Jinny Beyer's 150 New
Palette fabrics, her new collections as they debut, as well
as a number of patterns, kits and supplies. Best of
all, you may order when and where it is convenient for you,
(like at 1AM in your pajamas). We hope you'll try it
out.
The store is organized into
3 departments; Fabric, Patterns, and Supplies. You will
have a choice to enter one of these departments when you click the
Online Store link. Just be aware that in order to
purchase a selection, you must be on that item's Product
Page, (it will say "Product Page" on the blue header bar at the
top of the page and there will be an "Add to Cart" button on
the lower right section of the page). If you don't see these,
you need to keep clicking on the product links until you get to the
Product Page.
If you do see
"Product Page" in the blue header bar, but don't see
the "Add to Cart" button - you may need to scroll down.
Product Pages with large images, (New Palette), will take up a lot
of room and the "Add to Cart" button may be 'pushed' down below
the viewable portion. Just scroll down.
You will specify the
quantity you would like to purchase in the shopping cart, (not on
the Product Page). The default setting is '1', (1 unit or 1
yard). To change that, just put your mouse in the white 'Qty'
window, backspace to delete the '1' and type in the quantity you
want, then hit the either the little "Update" button to the right,
or the "Update Cart" button at the bottom.
After you have put an item
in your cart, we have found it is easier to use the 'back'
button on your browser, (as many times as necessary to get you where
you were). If you click on the "Shop More" button, it will
take you to a page that has all products together in
alphabetical order, (not organized in 'departments'). Of
course, you can shop from that page, too, if you'd
like.
A note about the Fabric
product pages - because the pull-down menus would be too large, we
have broken up the 150 New Palette colors into groups of about
40. All the fabrics are available, but they are listed on four
separate Product Pages, grouped by colors
1-39, 40-79, 80-119, and 120-150.
As mentioned at the
beginning, the shopping pages are encrypted and stored on a secure
server, so shopping with a credit card is certainly much safer than,
(for example), turning your card over to a waiter or store clerk who
takes it out of your sight. If you prefer, however, there is
an option to pay by check. The form asks for check number and
account number - you don't need to enter your actual account
information, you may enter any number (like '1') in each of
those fields. Just don't forget to send the check to the PO
Box number on our Contact Us
page.
Presuming you're still with
us & your eyes haven't glazed over - here's the good news.
You are not limited to the offerings in
the online store. If you are looking for something else
besides the Products in the Online Store, just call or e-mail
us. We carry a lot more products than we have on the site
and will be happy to do whatever we can to fill your
order.
