IBS Research Appeal - Online Shopping

What Happens Next

How to Order from this Site

1. Enter the "On-line Shop"

You can enter and browse the shop without any commitment to purchase.

2. Read about the Book and Magazines

Feel free to browse through the descriptions of the book and any other items that may be for sale from time to time.  For each item you will be able to find out its price and shipping charges, if any. There will be a link to a detailed product description that you can read. 

3. Select the Products that you are interested in

When you've found a product that you wish to buy, click the "Add to Shopping Basket" button to put it in your "Shopping Basket". Adding an item to your basket does not mean that you have bought it. The Shopping Basket page saves a list of the items you're interested in, until you want to go ahead and order.

The shopping basket uses 'cookies' to save your order information. The shop will not function correctly if you have cookies disabled on your browser, or with certain settings of some firewall or personal internet security products.

At any time you can click on the "View Basket" button to see what you have chosen so far and what the total price is, before delivery charges.
You can delete any items that you no longer wish to buy, and alter the quantities.
You can then either continue browsing the shop and selecting goods, or, when you're happy with what you've chosen, click the "Checkout" button to begin ordering.

4. Place Your Order

You need to give us your name, address, e-mail address and payment details to make a purchase or a donation. Remember, if you're not happy or have changed your mind, you can alter any part of your order by using the "Back" button of your browser to return to the "Shopping Basket" and change the quantity. 
The online shopping facility of this site only accepts credit and debit card payment.  We welcome  cheque or postal order payment, but only via our Off-line Order Form.  Cheques or postal orders must be in pounds sterling.

The first screen of the "Checkout" sequence asks for your Country and, for USA and Canadian purchasers, your State. This is to enable the correct postage to be calculated.  Press 'Next' after you have entered this information.
The next screen asks for your address, e-mail address and telephone number so that we can send the goods to the correct address and contact you in the event of a problem.  This screen also displays the goods that you have purchased and now includes the postage charges.

Press 'Next' after you have entered the information requested.
The next screen shows your full purchases again and may request some consumer information to help us improve our service.  Entry of this information is entirely optional.
Pressing 'Next' then takes you to a transition screen. There may be a pop-up box at this point (depending on your browser security settings), informing you that you are about to be directed to a secure area.  If the box appears, click 'OK', otherwise please wait to be redirected.

5. Complete Your Purchase

The next screen shows that you have been connected to the 'WorldPay' secure server.  You will see a padlock to signify the secure transmission.  This screen asks for your credit card details and confirmation of some of the address information.
You may choose to make payment by credit card in pounds sterling, US Dollars or Euros and the amount to be debited is shown on the payment page.   Your payment will be charged to you by your bank in your local currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the time that the transaction is completed by our e-commerce payment bureau service.

Make a final check of your order details - you can still return to the products area to add items or to the shopping cart to delete items and check the total spend.  When you are happy to continue, click the 'Make Payment' button to complete the transaction.

Please note - At any point prior to clicking on the 'Make Payment' button you can change what you have ordered, amend your contact details or even abandon the entire purchase. Only when you click on 'Make Payment' are your credit card details sent to our Payment Service Provider.

6. Note your Order Details

Your credit card is then checked and debited on-line by our e-commerce payment bureau service.  You will then be taken to a page which shows that your payment has been accepted.
You can print this page, or simply note the Merchant's Reference number (which is IBS Research Appeal's unique number for the transaction) and the WorldPay Transaction ID.


From this page you should then follow the 'View Merchant Receipt' link to the receipt page, which displays a printable, itemised receipt showing detail of all of the items you have ordered, the price paid (including postage), and the Order (Merchant's Reference) number.  The receipt also gives full contact details for IBS Research Appeal's distribution partners who have the task of packing and posting your order.
You should print this page for your records.

Next, click on the 'Done' button which will take you to our 'Thank-you' page from which you can return to the on-line shop or to the main site.
Subsequently you will receive two e-mails, one from IBS Research Appeal giving details of your order, and the other from 'WorldPay' confirming your successful credit card transaction.

If you do not receive both of these e-mails within 48 hours of placing your order please send an e-mail stating your order number and WorldPay transaction number to :

alert@ibsresearchupdate.org

DO NOT INCLUDE CREDIT CARD DETAILS WITH THIS E-MAIL

Your transaction is now complete.  We hope that you enjoy shopping with IBS Research Appeal.

Please ensure that you have reviewed our "Information" and "Terms and Conditions" pages before you place an order.
