Updates To The Online Store For Sale-a-bration!
To enhance the shopping experience, Stampin’ Up! is making improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping. During the August to September Sale-a-bration event, the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.
Here are some visuals that will walk you through the new checkout process:

Add your items to the shopping basket and add your host code just like you normally do. Beginning on August 3, once your order reaches $50, you will see a note at the top of the shopping basket page about redeeming your Sale-a-bration items at checkout. Once all of the items have been added to your order, click pink the “checkout” button on the right side of the screen.

The next page will show you how many Sale-a-bration items you’ve earned and if you’ve earned the free host exclusive stamp set, that will be shown on this page too. To start redeeming your free items, click the “+” sign to the right of the headings.

Click the little shopping basket image under the free product(s) that you’d like to add to your order. If you change your mind, click the small icon to the right of the shopping cart button with the “x” on it. That will remove the item from your cart and allow you to add something else.

If you’ve earned a level 2 item, click the “+” arrow to the right of that heading and those items will appear as options to add to your cart.

If you’ve earned the free host stamp set with an order of $300+, you can click the “+” button to the right of the header to add that item to your cart.
Once you’ve added your items to the cart, the “continue” button on the upper right will turn pink and you can click on it and then check out like you normally would. If you don’t want the free items, you can chose to “check out without using my rewards” but you will not be able to cash in those free items later. So make sure that you add the items that you’d like before you check out!
Hopefully these changes will make the store easier to use and navigate for Sale-a-bration! You’ll see the addition of the Sale-a-bration items to the checkout process beginning on August 3 and running through September 30. Let me know if you have questions as you start placing those orders on Tuesday!
HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
