How to place an order
Resolution
Yahoo! Shopping is an online service that helps you find the products you want from a variety of merchants with online stores.
To get started, enter words into the search box at the top of the page or click through the provided product categories to find the product(s) that interest you.
To buy a product:
- Select directly on the title of the product you wish to purchase. You will be directed to an Order Information page.
- Choose the merchant you wish to buy the product from.
- Select the gray Order or Add to Cart button to place the item in your Yahoo! Shopping Cart (a Yahoo! Shopping Cart is automatically created for each merchant you wish to purchase from).
You can then choose to Keep Shopping with that merchant or to Check Out and order the products in your cart. You can also return to the Yahoo! Shopping homepage by selecting the Yahoo! Shopping banner at the top of the page.
When you are ready to make a purchase from a particular merchant, you have two options to process your order:
- Select the Check Out button; this allows you to enter in the billing and shipping information to complete an online purchase.
- Select the Express Check Out button. The "Express Check Out" uses Yahoo! Wallet to store your shipping and billing information for quick, safe, and easy online purchase. Just select the Express Check Out button in your shopping cart. For more information on this see, please visit the Yahoo! Wallet page.
If you receive a message from Yahoo! Shopping that states "there are no Yahoo! Store merchants selling the item at this time," it means that the product you are searching for is currently not available through Yahoo! Shopping; and you will have the option to "Search Yellow Pages," "Yahoo! Auctions," and "Search Local Stores."
Once you have entered all the necessary information, you will be sent an order confirmation of your purchase, which allows you to track your purchase and to contact the merchant. This option can only be used if you were logged in to your Yahoo! ID before you made your online purchase.
To check your order status:
- Sign in with your Yahoo! ID.
- Select the Where are my orders? link located towards the bottom of the Yahoo! Shopping homepage.
This will also provide you with a history of your orders for future Yahoo! Shopping convenience.
