Store

The mobile application allows you to define products for your users to purchase from their mobile devices. The Store screen displays any inventoried products as determined by your back office setup. For products to appear in the store, they need to be active INV products with an active e-Business control and an active mobile control by meeting the following requirements in the back office:

·            Product Area - INV subsystem

·            Product Status - Active

·            Web Display Begin Date - Less than or equal to today’s date

·            Web Display End Date - Null or greater than today’s date

·            Mobile Begin Date - Less than or equal to today’s date

·            Mobile End Date - Null or greater than today’s date

·            Available to Order - Selected

·            Available from - Null or less than today’s date

·            Validated

Your organization can set up the product’s mobile control in the Personify360 back office similar to how they set up e-Business controls. For more information on activating INV products, please refer to Back Office Configuration Options for Mobile.

Users can enter text to filter the displayed items, but they can also click the Product Category button to select types of items they want displayed. This filter option is populated by the defined Product Class in during product setup. The Clear Filters button will allow users to easily return to viewing all items in the store. Your mobile store will display like the one in the image below.

The store-itemperpage configuration on the Default Configurations module controls how many products display on this screen. The recommended default value for this parameter is 25. You can set it to be a higher value, but it is not recommended to set it to a lower value as products will not display if a device displays a number more than the setting per page (e.g., if the setting is 10, but the device displays 14, nothing will be displayed). See Configuring the Default Configuration Module for more information.

When a mobile user selects an item from the store, more details about the product will appear on the right like the image below.

Mobile users have the option to view more details about the product, including any defined and web-enabled rates, as well as a picture and brief description about the product. From the details screen, logged-in users can add the product to their Shopping Cart.

Only mobile users with a credit card on file will see the Buy Now option which allow them to proceed directly to checkout. If users add the product to their shopping cart, they can continue shopping in the mobile store until they’ve added all desired items to their shopping cart and then proceed to checkout, or they can wait and purchase the product the next time they log into your e-Business site.
