My son recently made a new website for me, I really like it. In my old site I had to have customers email an order, then I'd figure which packaging I needed, I'd generate an invoice and email that to them. When They paid, I'd pack and ship the item.
My new site has a shopping cart and it has the ability to use the right boxes (after educating the program a little) and give an accurate total, then the customer can pay right there, using one of several options. Then I get an email announcing another order. When I open my sight I simply click on the right order, click to print the shipping labels and each printed label tells me which box to use. This is much simpler and the customers seem to like it and sales have gone way up as a result.
My new site is: www.cnymaple.com

I spoke too soon. Shortly after I posted this thread, I got an order for 8 half gal of syrup. The program used 2 large USPS flat rate (3 jugs ea.) and 1 med. USPS flat rate (2 jugs). 3 jugs are making the large close with a significant bulge. I do not like such a bulge. Now I need to try to educate the program more. It was manually corrected to make the shipment.

A few quick clicks but the site looks nice.

We are trying to set something like this up also, but hasn’t gone very well.

Thanks, David in Mi. This was huge improvement over my old site. This is my son's first attempt at making website. He does work computers all day at a local college, not just using one, but he's an I.T. guy. This morning I sent out my biggest one day shipment ever (I think), over $500 in 2 orders, off the new site. The mail girl might want a hand truck!

Thanks, I'm especially proud of how my son designed it and this was his first site to design.
Sorry, he is not looking for more to design, he already works 12-16 hrs. a day counting his every other day "on call" for computer issues at the college (Morrisville Ag & Tech, a SUNY school).

Looks good. I may have try something similar because my walk-in traffic is non-existent at the moment.

My site was designed using Word Press and It uses Woo Commerce. It is very easy to use on my end and my customers seem to like it too. At present my sales are about 60% online, after the season ends, it will likely go back up to 70-80% online. The difference is that when I'm boiling I get walk ins who buy syrup.
