- Welcome to InterMall... The future of Online Shopping! InterMall is unique
- in that it not only combines the most popular features of other Online Shopping
- Programs (And More!) but also adds the ability to transfer "stores" and orders
- across Bulletin Board Systems in other Cities and Countries! So don't be
- surprised if you find businesses located in the mall from all corners of the
- U.S.A. but other countries as well.
- InterMall is divided into "sections". You can navigate between these sections
- at the menus by pressing the ] key or the ] key or by pressing the Highlighted
- letter or numbers.
- The first thing you might want to do (After reading these instructions, of
- course) is view the Mall Map. The mall map is simply a listing of all the
- businesses located in the mall, what they specialize in and where they are
- located.
- Next You'll probably want to Browse or Shop! the businesses. For your
- convenience, each store in the mall has up to 10 departments. For example,
- a book store may have a horror, science-fiction and romance department. When
- you select Browse/Shop from the main menu, you are presented with a list of
- all the current businesses in the mall. Follow the directions at the prompt
- line. After you have selected a business to shop, a brief introduction screen
- is presented; then the Shop/Browse Menu is presented.
- You can Browse/Shop products of a store in a department either Forward or
- Reverse. You can change Departments by selecting Change Department at the
- menu. You will then be presented a list of departments to choose from. You
- can browse the entire store by selecting the Individual or Keyword Search at
- the menu. While browsing you can order by pressing O. It will then ask you
- for a quantity and keep a running total of your order (Some times items will
- be on sale!). You can veiw/edit your order AFTER ordering where you can
- delete items from your order. IMPORTANT: YOU MUST PROCESS YOUR ORDER BEFORE
- GOING BACK TO THE MAIN MENU OR YOUR ORDER WILL BE LOST! (If you have ordered
- anything, that is). When processing your order, just follow the instructions.
- You can abort processing at various times during the processing. At the end
- of the processing of the order, you have a choice of downloading your order form
- so you can Mail, Phone in or Fax your order to the business. OR you can elect
- to SEND your order online to the store. If the "Home BBS" of the Business is
- located at a BBS other than this one, it will transfer your order to that bbs.
- The business will then download and process your order. IMPORTANT: YOU NEED TO
- BE AWARE OF TWO IMPORTANT ITEMS - 1) IF YOU ORDER BY CREDIT CARD YOUR # CAN
- BE SEEN ON THE LOCAL SIDE OF THIS DOOR AND IF YOU ORDER BY CREDIT CARD AND
- HAVE IT SENT VIA BBS THEN YOUR NUMBER WILL BE ON A FILE ON THE BBS UNTIL THE
- BUSINESS CAN DOWNLOAD AND DELETE YOUR ORDER. 2) THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT
- IF THE ORDER IS SENT VIA BBS IT WILL BE RECEIVED.
- If you are interested in opening a store in the mall then download the
- Offline Manager. Just be sure to get a password and Code before you operate
- it.
- If you are already a store owner and use the store manager menu, be sure to
- have the code and password the SysOp has given you to access your store.
- HAPPY SHOPPING!
