How to Order Patterns

My patterns are available either through my Yahoo! or PayPal Shopping Carts. I have indicated the pros and cons of these options. For the specifc steps to follow for these shopping carts, click one of the links below.

Yahoo! Shopping Cart

Pros
• You can download PDF Patterns immediately from the Shopping Cart's Order Confirmation page
• You may select the method of shipping for paper patterns and see the charges on the Shopping Cart's Billing page including international orders.

Cons
• You must have a Mastercard or Visa charge card.

PayPal Shopping Cart

Pros
• You do not need a credit card.
• You may use any PayPal payment method.

Cons
• There is only one shipping option for paper patterns, Priority Mail.
• For orders outside the US, I will contact you for any additional charges.

Yahoo! Shopping Cart

I can accept payment by Mastercard or Visa. The transaction is processed through Yahoo's secure servers. If you order a PDF Download Pattern, you can download it immediately from the Shopping Cart's Order Confirmation page.

To order a pattern, first proceed to a pattern description page. The links to these pages appear in The Patterns section of the home page as well as the Contemporary Styles and Ode to Erté sections.

On the pattern description page, click one of the gray "Order Paper" or "Order PDF" buttons. When you click one of these buttons, the Shopping Cart appears. The steps below describe the complete process.

1. On the home or section page, click the image of the garment you want. This will take you to a pattern description page.
2. On the pattern description page, click a gray "Order Paper" or "Order PDF" button for the pattern you want. The Shopping Cart will appear with your selection.
3. From the Shopping Cart you can add more patterns by clicking the "Keep Shopping" button. Or, you can change the quantity for a pattern or remove it from the Shopping Cart page.
4. After you've selected all the patterns you want, from the Shopping Cart, click the "Check Out" button. This will take you to the Shipping Page.
5. On the Shipping Page, enter your shipping address and select the means of shipping you prefer. If you are ordering PDF Download files, enter your billing address as your shipping address.
6. On the Shipping Page, click the "Continue" button. This will take you to the Billing Page.
7. On the Billing Page you will see any Shipping Charges and Sales Tax. If you wish to change the means of Shipping, click your browser's back button. California residents must pay sales tax but only on Paper Patterns, not on PDF Download Patterns.
8. Fill in the appropriate payment information. At the bottom of the Billing Page there is a checkbox with the label "I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions of Design Enterprises of SF's Online Store." This is to confirm that you know my policies as required by law. Either check this box or cancel your order.

9. On the Billing Page click "Place Order." This will take you to the Order Confirmation page. Prior to Clicking the "Place Order" button, you can cancel your order.
10. If you have ordered PDF Download Patterns, you will see a red "Download Now" button next to the item description of each PDF Download. Click that button and begin download process. I suggest saving the PDF Download Patterns to disk rather than opening them immediately.

If you have ordered Paper Patterns, I will ship the next business day and send you an email confirming the shipment.

If you have ordered the PDF Download Patterns and you have any problems along the way, you will receive an Order Confirmation email that will give you a link to an Order Status page. You can download from the Order Status page for up to 30 days from the date of purchase.

PayPal Shopping Cart

I have added the PayPal Shopping Cart for the convenience of people who do not have one of the charge cards I accept. You may use any PayPal payment method.

To order a pattern, first proceed to a pattern description page. The links to these pages appear in The Patterns section of the home page as well as the Contemporary Styles and Ode to Erté sections.

On the pattern description page, scroll down to the table labeled "Order Using PayPal." Click one of the gray "Order Paper" or "Order PDF" buttons. When you click one of these buttons, the Shopping Cart appears. The steps below describe the complete process.

2. On the pattern description page in the "Order Using PayPal" table, click a gray "Order Paper" or "Order PDF" button for the pattern you want. The PayPal Shopping Cart will appear with your selection.

4. After you've selected all the patterns you want, from the Shopping Cart, click the "Secure Check Out" button. This will take you to the Checkout Page.
5. On the Checkout Page, you may select to use your existing PayPal account. If you do not have an account, you may either open an account or pay using a credit cards.
6. On the Shipping Page, enter the requested information then click the "Continue Checkout" button. This will take you to the Billing Page.
