Online Store

Chamber Nation also includes an online store module, featuring a catalog, cart, and full checkout capability integrated with online payment systems.

• Catalog - Manage a catalog of items, sponsorships, and downloadable documents (PDFs, Word documents, videos, etc.), available for purchase by members and/or the public. Each item can include photos and additional attributes like t-shirt sizes.
• Online Payment - Integrated with credit card merchant accounts or PayPal, ensuring seamless transactions for purchases made through the store.
• Member/Non-Member Pricing - Offer discounted pricing for members, while non-members pay full price.
• Member Tokens - Organizational members can purchase tokens, enabling their associated members to use them instead of dollars to buy select items from your online store.
• Inventory/Availability - Includes inventory tracking and availability status (available/unavailable).
• Tax/Shipping - Options available for calculating tax and shipping costs.
• Promotions Manager - Set up various types of discounts and promotions within your online store.

To add promotions, navigate to your main store admin page and click on 'Manage Promotions'. Here are the options available when setting up a

promotion:



• Promo Name: Displayed to users on summary pages and invoices.
• Description: Information about the promotion visible when users seek more details.
• Start/End Date: Active period for the promotion.
• Promo Code: Optional code for users to activate the promotion.
• Members Only: Restrict the promotion to members if checked.
• Promo Type:
• Flat Discount: Applies a fixed amount discount per item or order total.
• Percentage Discount: Applies a specified percentage discount to items or order total.
• BOGO Promotion: Offers a 'buy x get y' promotion for specified items.

User Experience - Active promotions without promo codes display information at the top of the store screen. Qualifying items show promotion details on their listings and individual pages. Users can apply multiple promotions but only one per item, preventing double-dipping discounts. Conflicting promotions are resolved automatically, applying the best discount to the user.

In BOGO deals, the system applies discounts to the cheapest qualifying items. For example, in a B2G1 deal with items priced $5, $10, and $15, the $5 item is free.

During checkout, users see applied promotions and discounts on their cart page, summary page, confirmation email, and screen. Admins can review this information via transaction reports and exports.
