Set up the ordering settings. These settings will help you to optimize the ordering experience for your customers.

The table below provides the description of the ordering settings.

Option	Description
Product images	This option is available in Sana 9.2.1 and higher. Use this option to show or hide product image thumbnails in the shopping cart and on the order overview page. You can enable or disable product images for each customer type.
Guest checkout	Use the option "Guest checkout" to allow or prohibit creating orders without registration. Use the option "Guest single address" to control which billing/shipping information a shopper must enter when creating an order. The option "Guest single address" is available in Sana 9.2.1 and higher. The options "Guest checkout" and "Guest single address" can be set up only for B2C customers. If the option "Guest single address" is enabled, a shopper will need to enter only one address which will be used both, as a billing address and shipping address. If the option "Guest single address" is disabled, shoppers will be able to enter a billing address and a different shipping address. For more information, see "Guest Checkout"
Guest single address
Reference number	Use this option to enable or disable reference number. If this option is enabled, then B2B customers and sales agents will be able to enter the reference number on the Order overview checkout step while placing the order.

Delivery date	Use this option to enable or disable delivery date. If this option is enabled, then B2B customers and sales agents will be able to specify the requested delivery date on the Order overview checkout step while placing an order.
Edit order	Business customers and sales agents can edit sales orders directly in the Sana webstore. Use this option to allow or forbid editing sales orders. If this option is enabled, business customers and sales agents will be able to edit existing sales orders from the order history. Business customers and sales agents can edit only those sales orders that are paid on account and are not posted yet in the ERP system. To enable the "on account" payment type for your business customers and sales agents, in Sana Admin click: Setup > Ordering & checkout > Ordering. In the "Online order payments" field for B2B customers, select "Full amount paid on account". This option has nothing to do with the "Internal (on account)" payment method. Paying the order using the "Internal (on account)" payment method does not allow editing sales orders.

Reorder	Use this option to allow or 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 in the shopping cart. If this option is enabled, the Reorder button is shown on the order details page in the order history.
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 or hide the order status in the order history.
Return orders	Use this option to enable or disable return orders for different customer types. Sana delivers an easy and personalized return experience to build trust relationship between shop owners and their customers. The return process is completely automated and integrated with the sales order processing in the ERP system. For more information, see "Return Orders".
One step checkout	This option is available in Sana 9.2.1 and higher. Use this option to enable or disable one step checkout for different types of customers. To create an order in a Sana web store, a customer must enter the shipping address, select delivery and payment methods, and check the order details. You can use either a multistep checkout or a one step checkout. If this options is enabled, all checkout steps will be shown on a single page. If this option is disabled, all checkout steps will be shown separately. For more information, see "Checkout".
Terms agreement checkbox	This option is available in Sana 9.2.1 and higher. Use this option to change the "Terms and Conditions" behavior on the last checkout step for each customer type. Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy is a set of rules that a user must agree to in order to use your web site. In our case, these are the agreements between you as a web store owner and your customers. When a customer creates an order in a Sana web store, he or she must agree with the terms and conditions on the last checkout step. By enabling this option, your customers will need to select the "Terms and Conditions" checkbox to agree with the rules and only then finalize the order, or disable it to inform the customers that by completing the order, they agree with the terms and conditions automatically.
Number of order lines in the order overview	In this field, you can enter 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 checkout step, in the order history, and in the order confirmation e-mail. A customer can expand the order lines to see the details of the order and all available order lines.
Number of order lines in quick order mode	This option applies to B2B customers with the "Business" basket page layout. When a business customer adds products directly on the shopping cart page, he or she cannot see more order lines than it is set in this field. Once a customer recalculates the shopping cart, all other order lines will be loaded and shown on the separate pages. A customer can use pagination in the shopping cart to see all order lines.
Online order payments	Use this option to determine how B2B customers must pay their orders. B2B customers can pay on account, online through a payment gateway, and based on prepayment rules. The payment type "Amount based on prepayment rules" is supported by Microsoft Dynamics NAV and SAP ECC. See also: Microsoft Dynamics NAV: Prepayments SAP ECC: Customer Prepayment
Online invoice payments	Using this option, you can allow business customers to pay their open invoices online, either with the automatic payment journal creation in the ERP system or manual. For more information, see "Online Invoice Payments".
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. Checkout options are not available, if you are using order processing strategy optimized for large orders. 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 customers pay on account, or you can lead a customer through the checkout process again to allow changing the shipping address, delivery date, and to complete (online) payment. Quote to order conversion is not supported, if you are using order processing strategy optimized for large orders. For more information, see "Order Processing".

Set up the default estimated shipping costs:

The default estimated shipping cost is shown in the shopping cart of the web store 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 web store 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.
