3.You’re then usually taken to your shopping cart, which
shows the item you just put in it. You can go back to
shopping. (Some sites offer a Continue Shoppinglink
you can click to go back to the previous page, or you can
just click the site logo to go to the home page or a link to
shop a category of items.)

4.When you finish putting all the items you want to buy in
your cart, click the link called My Shopping Cart(or
Checkout, or My Shopping Basket, or whatever the site
calls it).

5.At this point, you may want to look for discount coupons.
Even when the company’s Web site isn’t displaying
coupons, they may well have some, and the product man-
ufacturer may also provide coupons. The best way to look
for these is to open a new browser window so you don’t
lose your place in the store. Search using the company
name and the word coupon to find any coupon codes or
promotional codes that you can use. Enter these into the
promotional code field on the store’s purchase screen.
Repeat the search using the name of the product and the
word coupon. If you are lucky, you may get more than
one discount to apply. Note:there are also Web sites that
specialize in providing discount coupon codes for thou-
sands of online stores. Search on the term coupons, (be
sure to only use Web sites that are reputable), and see
what you find.

6.When you’ve added any promotional/discount codes,
review your purchases and quantities to make sure they
are correct. When you’re sure they are, continue the check-
out sequence, which will involve:


  • Entering your billing and shipping addresses

  • Choosing a shipping method, such as standard or
    express
