Purchasing Merchandise or Subscriptions Online

Customers can purchase memberships, merchandise, miscellaneous products, sessions, subscriptions, or register for events through the Online Store.

To make a purchase:

1. Go to the Web site.
2. On the navigation bar, click Online Store.

Note: If you do not log in, you will be treated as a "Guest" and will only see non-member prices.

3. After you log in, if you are an active member, you will see the member prices. At the top of the page, you will see your name and current membership. Clicking the View Memberships button will take you to the My Transactions page to view current membership details.

4. To shop for products by type, expand the Shop For: list and select the product type from the list. You may also enter a search term in the Search For: text box. You may use the Sort By: dropdown menu to then filter by name, category, and price.  After selecting a product type, click the Go button.

5. You may also select a specific item for purchase by clicking the Product Name.

6. On the Product Details page, the appropriate price is automatically selected based on whether you are a member or not. Click the Add to Cart button.

Note: If you want to cancel the selection and return to the previous page, click Continue Shopping.

7. On the Shopping Cart page, you will see the Quantity, Item Price, and Total Price. You are able to change the Quantity.  You may also click the red X Remove button to remove the line item if you choose. If a Source Code has been assigned to track where this item originated from, it may be selected. Finally, any discounts may be entered in the Discount Code field.

Note: If you change the quantity, you should click the Update Cart button.

8. When you are ready to move to the next step, click Proceed to Checkout.
9. On the Shipping Information page, verify shipping information (change the shipping address, if necessary) and then click Next to proceed with the check out process.
10. Complete the checkout process.

When purchasing subscriptions, the SingleSubscriptionOnly system option determines whether users can purchase multiple (active) subscriptions of the same subscription product, or if they can only have one active subscription at a time for a subscription product.

If this system option is disabled, which is the default setting, users can have multiple active subscriptions of the same subscription product. In this case, a warning message will display informing the user that this customer already has an active subscription to this product and a drop-down menu will allow the user to choose whether this purchase is for a new subscription or a renewal of the existing subscription.

This system option allows for better management of subscription effective and expiration dates.

If the SingleSubscriptionOnly system option is enabled, only renewal purchases will be allowed. This will be reflected in both the warning message and the drop-down menu. The message next to the drop-down menu will also inform you that only renewals are allowed and the drop-down menu will be grayed out and set to Renew.

Note: Subscriptions will process immediately once they are ordered and paid in full.  Once processed they will be current and available.
