Use this option to allow/forbid customers reorder the products which have been ordered before. In case the product is not orderable anymore a customer will be notified by a message on the basket page.

If this option is enabled, the Reorder button is available in the webstore on the order history and pending orders pages.

Shopping cart suggestions Use shopping cart suggestions to offer your customers the products which they might be interested to buy. Customers are often loyal to a particular brand or some products which they frequently buy, thus it's a good idea to build suggestions based on the customer's shopping behavior.
For more information, see 'Shopping Cart Suggestions'.
Order status Use this option to show/hide order status in the order history.
Number of order lines in the order overview In this field you can set how many order lines should be shown in the order overview. This is useful for large orders with a big amount of order lines. If the number of order lines exceeds the one set in this field, then the order lines will be collapsed on the Order overview step of the checkout process, in the order history and in the order confirmation e-mail. In this case a customer can expand order lines to see the details of the order with all order lines.
Online payments Use this option to determine how B2B customer can pay the order.
B2B customers can pay not only on account but also online through a payment gateway as well as based on prepayment rules.

 The method Amount based on prepayment rules is available for the webstore integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For more information, see 'Prepayments Configuration'.

Order processing strategy Use this option to set up the suitable basket calculation mode.
For more information, see 'Order Processing'.
Checkout options Select the order placement type. It can be either order or quote, or both, giving a customer possibility to choose whether to place an order or a quote. A quote can be also converted to a sales order directly from the Sana web store.
For more information, see 'Order Processing'.
Quote to order conversion Allow or deny conversion of a sales quote into a sales order directly from the Sana web store.
From the Sana web store a quote can be converted into a sales order just with a single click ignoring stock and allowing customer pay on account, or you can lead a customer through the checkout process again to allow changing of the shipping address, delivery date and to complete (online) payment.
For more information, see 'Order Processing'.

Shipping



In Sana Admin click: Setup > Ordering & checkout > Shipping.

Under the Shipping tab you can set up the default estimated shipping costs and configure fields that should be used in the customer's shipping address.

Set up the default estimated shipping costs:

The default estimated shipping cost is shown in the shopping cart of the webstore to anonymous users and logged in customers only when shipping methods are not available, because there are no shipping methods that match the shipping cost conditions configured in Sana Admin. In this case the default estimated shipping cost is shown in the shopping cart just to show the approximate shipping cost and inform a customer about the extra charge. This is not a real shipping cost which a customer will need to pay. When a customer gets to the checkout process and selects the appropriate shipping method, the shipping cost will be recalculated.

Step 1: Under the Shipping tab expand the Default estimated shipping costs area.

Step 2: Enter the default shipping costs per currency - amount including tax and excluding tax.

The list of currencies is retrieved from your ERP system.

When a customer places an order in the webstore the appropriate price is retrieved depending on whether the prices including VAT (sales tax) is enabled or disabled for the customer in your ERP system.

Configure customer's shipping address form:

In Sana Admin you can edit the shipping address form for B2C and B2B customers. When a customer places an order in the webstore, he/she should specify the shipping address. In Sana Admin you can configure which fields should be shown for the customer's shipping address.
