2) Features and Functions of This Website
This website is an online shop for the sale of goods.
Goods refer to tangible items.
The products are presented on the site and can be added to a digital shopping cart, then ordered and paid for.
The website features a header and footer menu:
In the header menu, the items we offer are listed by category and can be accessed individually.
Each item has its own product detail page with essential information, delivery scope, and total price. Products can be added to the shopping cart from this page. Once at least one item has been added, the shopping cart can be accessed via the header menu. From there, the ordering process can be started and completed.
In the footer menu, you’ll find links to our legal notice with contact details, legal information, shipping and payment options, and additional helpful service pages.
3) Explanation of How to Use the Features
3.1 Virtual Buttons
This website can be operated using virtual buttons.
3.2 Homepage, Category Pages, and Product Detail Pages
On the homepage, a selection of products is displayed centrally. Clicking a product leads to its detail page.
You can navigate product categories using the header menu.
Selecting a category leads to a listing page showing all products within that category. Clicking a product leads again to its detail page.
Detail pages include key product information, pricing, a quantity selector (if applicable), and a button to add the item to the cart.
The quantity can be adjusted if the selection tool is present.
3.3 Digital Shopping Cart
Clicking the cart button adds the product (in selected quantity, if applicable) to the shopping cart.
The cart is accessible via the header menu at any time.
There, products can be reviewed, removed, or adjusted in quantity using the provided buttons.
3.4 Digital Checkout Process
After reviewing your cart, the order process can be completed via the appropriate buttons.
First, you’re prompted to enter your contact details (at minimum: name, email address, shipping/billing address).
Next, you can choose from the available delivery or service options.
Then, select your preferred payment method, enter the payment details, and finalise the order.
The order is only binding once you click the designated final button (labelled "Buy", "Order Now", "Place Binding Order", or a similarly clear phrase).
Before clicking this button, you can return to previous steps using your browser’s “Back” button or cancel the process entirely.
If using an online payment method, you’ll be redirected to the payment provider’s system to complete the transaction.
