How to Shop
at 123Plaza.com
From our Mall Directory you are able to select a listing of stores hosted at the system, based on the type of business you want to access. There are three (3) merchant categories from which to choose: distributors, retailers, and affiliates.
From either Distributors, Retailers or Affiliates, make the appropriate selection for the categories of products you will like to browse, click on the List! button, and the next window will show a listing of stores for the merchants/products category you have selected. Next you can click on the link to any of the stores, or generate a new listing using the merchant selector.
You may return to the mall lobby at any time by clicking onth 123Plaza.com logo located in the upper right hand corner of most pages.
You will also notice that password is required to enter Distributor stores. This is because these business only sell to other businesses at wholesale or bulk prices, and they require you to be registered with them in order to view their product listings and prices.
If you do not have a password to enter a Distributor's store, and would like to browse their products, some of these businesses will still allow you to view a listing of products without prices by using the "guest" password provided.
Adding Products to your Shopping Cart
To add an item(s) to your Shopping Cart is simple! Once you located the product you desire
to purchase simply enter in the Quantity in the provided Text Box for the Item in question.
Additionally options may be available for some items. To add options simply make a selection
from the boxes provided. After adding the quantity and selecting any possible
options, click on the Order it button, or the Add to Shopping Cart button
located at the bottom of the page.
There is no obligation to purchase the items you add to your shopping cart. Much
like strolling around in a regular supermarket, you can continue to add and remove
items, or abandon your shopping cart if you wish. You only need to pay for the items
at the checkout stand.
At any time, you can review or modify the contents of your shopping cart, by clicking
on the View/Modify Cart button located at the bottom of all Mall pages and Stores.
Subsequent windows will provide commands to modify quantities, remove items, or simply
view the contents of your shopping cart.
If for whatever reasons, you abandon your shopping cart, and later will like to
resume your purchases, the system will retain the contents of your shopping cart
for 48 hours, and will restore your assigned shopping cart the next time you return
to our web site.
