Public Shopping Cart
The public shopping cart allows subscribers to sign-up or show interest in a service offering. Your company can choose a custom URL that will direct customers to the public shopping cart. Your company’s shopping cart landing page will have a customizable message, contain your logo, and use your brand specific colors. Our Vision Support Team will help guide you through best practices and set up processes for your public shopping cart to be successful.

The public shopping cart homepage can display service areas in varying stages of construction. The service area status key lists the different statuses of the service areas for example, collecting interest, under construction, or fiber now available.
This tool allows potential subscribers to indicate interest in a planned service area, and makes it easy for them to check up on the service area status as it moves through the phases of construction.
A subscriber has the option to search for service two different ways — either by inputting their address, or dropping a pin directly on their rooftop.
Click on a service area to view the service area description. Make changes to this description under service area management. See examples below.

The gray circles on the map indicate a subscriber address. This can be a useful tool to pinpoint popular neighborhoods within a larger service area, or helps identify areas where service sign-ups are thriving or lacking.

Those packages can be edited, but that will help get you started.

Your customers can schedule their installation through the Public Shopping Cart. Our Vision Team will work with your team during the setup of the Public Shopping Cart and turn on that feature, so it is operational. Essentially, a customer is prompted to pick their ideal installation time after they select a service package and enter in their contact information. If they do not want to schedule an install time right there in the moment they can select a “Skip for Now” button and they will still be able to complete the check out process.
Once they have completed the process and selected an install option, they will be brought to a confirmation page and will be able to view their chosen package, the invoice amount, and the date and time of the install. The confirmation page is a feature that can be edited to work best.
This will kick off a workflow and create a task for the installation. The task will be assigned to a Vision User, and you will be able to see that this type of task was kicked off from the Public Shopping Cart.
After a customer completes their shopping cart selections they will automatically be entered into Vision as a Lead. Once the workflow is worked their status will flip. Even if they for whatever reason do not complete the sign up process or click out before they schedule an install time, Vision will capture their information that they entered to save that as a lead.
When a Vision User has that new Subscriber Account open they can quickly look at the Workflow Processes card and see the install workflow that was launched. Or from the All tab you can see in the history when the package and install workflow came through from the Shopping Cart.
There will be available time slots for installations. Customers select a button corresponding to their preferred time slot.

Having the subscriber create a Portal User Account when they sign-up for a service is an additional feature available in the shopping cart. You can disable, make optional, or require this feature via Service Area Management.
The subscriber completes their information and then can click PROCEED.
Interest package offers in the shopping cart work similar to service packages. The subscriber will enter their address into the system to see what services are available in their area. If there are no active services with the subscribers address they would be directed to fill out contact information to get updates on construction of fiber or wireless. The subscriber may decide to sign up for the fiber interest package and until the fiber construction is finished buy your wireless service.
The interest package will then prompt the customer to enter their information, and complete the checkout process, however the total will be $0.00.
Subscribers will fill out their contact information. For an interest package the total price will be displayed as $0.00. Then they will select SUBMIT to confirm.
A confirmation message will be displayed after a successful sign-up. You can edit the confirmation message under Service Area Management.
