They could then update the status i.e. check off credit card verified, order entered, order shipped check boxes. That way there would be a complete record of the order available from any browser anywhere and completely secure. Should I be working for you guys or what?I've been a little confused by the lack of docs for WebCat2 and realize there's quite a bit to do to make the conversion from 1.x. I think for the moment when we open the store (in a couple days) we'll simply pickup the orders in the office and fax them to the store. As demand picks up then we'll have to look into an upgrade solution. Still need to solve the colors/sizes problem too. If you're interested the beta of the store is at http://www.hempersbazaar.com/store/ and I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.Thanks for your help.
