We're that much closer to ready! I still have more testing to do, and have other dahlia enthusiasts lined up to help. Thank you all for your support. This is the latest update on site building and testing:

Rules Engine for checkout:
1. There should be a minimum of 3 qty in order to check out. 1 of 3 varieties, or 3 of one variety, but a total of 3 or more in order to check out.
2. There should be a maximum of 5 qty for any one item.
3. Checkbox that you've read and agree to our Terms and Conditions (required).
4. When an item is added to your cart, you see a timer appear in the cart and on the top of the Tuber Store page. This timer should reserve items for you until the timer hits 00:00 -- and should reset the timer to 5 minutes again when you add another item to the cart.
5. Cart Hold: items in cart are removed from inventory, preventing someone else from ordering it while you continue to shop.
6. Shipping fees are automatic:
US Customers: 1-5 tubers = $15
US Customers: 6+ tubers = $20
US Customers: Free shipping when cart total is $250 or more
CA Customers: Shipping is $40USD
All Other International Customers: Shipping is $70USD

Other projects we've been working on:
7. In the shopping cart, there is a status bar that lets you visually see how close you are to free shipping.

8. Coupon Codes work: LocalPU: Free shipping (to pick up order at the LCDS meeting in April, May, or June) LCDS15: 15% off for all Lane County Dahlia Society members CombineOrders: Free shipping (if you use this code on all orders, all orders will be canceled. This is not a way to skirt around shipping fees)

9. Dahlia Tuber Store: Continuous scroll is on. Meaning, there is no "next" button to click to see more, just scroll and they populate

10. Contact Us: works

11. Signup: works to add you to a DL for future emails/events

12. Gift Cards: 3 amounts to choose from

Next steps:

13. Sorting: Next on the list. Will be able to sort by: Color, Form, Size, and some Hybridizers. Descriptions: Also on the list with sorting

14. Wish list: Last project, if there is time - I know folks want it, but I don't understand why.

15. After the sale, I will work on SEO settings. (Search Engine Optimization) This will drive more customers to our site from Google Searches
