Shopping Cart Help
Having trouble updating products or editing your cart? We're here to help. This guide walks you through placing an order on our WooCommerce-powered store — step by step. If you still need assistance, feel free to Contact Us.
How to Place an Order
1
Browse & Add to Cart
Find the product you want and click the "Add to Cart" button on the product page. For variable products (e.g. different sizes or styles), select your options before adding. You'll see a confirmation notice at the top of the page once the item is added.
2
View or Edit Your Cart
Click the "View Cart" link in the confirmation notice or the cart icon in the header. From the Cart page you can update quantities, remove items, or apply a coupon code before proceeding.
3
Update Quantities
Change the number in the quantity field next to any item, then click "Update Cart" to save your changes. The order total will recalculate automatically.
4
Proceed to Checkout
When your cart is ready, click "Proceed to Checkout." You will be taken to the WooCommerce checkout page to complete your order.
5
Enter Billing & Shipping Information
Fill in your billing address, and if your shipping address is different, uncheck "Ship to a different address?" and enter the correct details. All required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
6
Select a Payment Method
Choose your preferred payment method — COD, credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express), or any other available option. Enter your payment details securely.
7
Review & Place Your Order
Review your order summary carefully, then click "Place Order" to complete the transaction. A confirmation email will be sent to the address on file, and your order will be processed for shipment.
📧 Order Confirmation
Once your order is placed, you'll receive an automated confirmation email with your order number and details. You can also track your order history at any time under My Account > Orders.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
⚠️ Before You Call
Most cart issues can be resolved quickly by trying the steps below. If the problem persists, don't hesitate to contact our team.

Cart not updating?
Click the "Update Cart" button after changing quantities. If totals still don't refresh, try clearing your browser cache or doing a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on Mac). -

Item won't add to cart?
Make sure all required product options (size, quantity, variant) are selected. If the button is greyed out, the item may be out of stock. Contact us to check availability. -

Coupon code not working?
Ensure the code is entered exactly as provided (no extra spaces). Coupons may have minimum order requirements or expiry dates. Contact us if you believe your code should be valid. -

Checkout page not loading?
Try disabling browser extensions or ad blockers that may interfere with WooCommerce. Switching to a different browser or device can also resolve this. -
