Saving to a Product List
When saving to a list, you will be brought to a Temporary Saved List Page. Items you “Save to List” will be saved temporarily for the duration of your portal visit. To permanently save your products to a list you must create a new list or select an existing list.
To create a new list, enter your Product List Name and click “Create New”,
After this is created, you can add your product to the list by selecting the Product List Name from the drop down menu:
Select the products you wish to add to this list and click “Add to Existing” or “Move to Cart”:
Note: While you can save multiple Lists and Carts, Carts are the only group that can be emailed or shared.
Lists can be viewed at any time by clicking on “My Saved Product Lists” located on the menu at the top of every page:
Email Your Cart
In addition to saving multiple carts, you can email carts to share product lists prior to checking out. Confirm product lists and pricing with colleagues working on the project with you, receive approval from a supervisor, send it to yourself as a mental note, or email it to your ACD account manager to negotiate pricing.
Once you're satisfied with the products in your Cart, scroll down to the bottom and click on "Save This Cart." Once your cart has been saved and named, you can share it by clicking on “Email This Cart”:
You can access your Saved Carts at any time by clicking on “My Account” located at the top of every page. The menu at the bottom of your account page will list any existing Saved Carts. Click “View” to add, edit, or share your cart:
