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!
