Bright Stores Newsletter April 2008

Flexibility is an important aspect of building and running a successful company store.  We at Bright Stores recognize that that if you build a store to meet your customer’s specific needs, it will benefit everyone involved.  That’s why we have developed several new features that will allow more flexibility in your company stores.

ADVANCED PAYMENT METHODS

Bright Stores has taken payment methods to the next level.  We now offer the greatest selection of payment options in the industry.  These new options allow you to accept the specific type of payment that your customer needs.  From Pay by Check to No Payment Required, we offer a bounty of options. 

New payment methods include the following:

• Pay by Check
• Department Numbers
• Payroll Deduction
• Activity / Event names or numbers
• “Other” Payment Method
• No Payment Required

Please let us know if you have questions.

ALLOW GUESTS TO CHECK OUT

Have you ever come across the need to set up a store where guests will be allowed to place an order in your store?  Well, now they can.  You may set up a store so that users do not need to set up an account prior to placing their order.

Guest checkout allows you to easily configure your store so that users will not be required to create a user profile (log in information) to check out.  This can be useful in stores where users may only shop once or in large, public stores where all users may not have an e-mail address.

ADVANCED CATEGORIES

The Advanced Categories feature is another way that we offer flexibility.

This feature allows you to set up a product in one category while displaying it in multiple other categories.  Just a few of the benefits include:

• Helpful when the Inventory Feature is being used, allowing inventory tracking for one product while it appears in multiple categories.
• Will save you time and effort when setting up your products. 
• Users may find products more easily.
