Few terms you should be familiar with before your start:

• Cart (or Shopping Cart or My Cart):
  Like in real shops, the shopping cart/trolley, is where you put the items you wish to purchase. You can always modify quantities or remove items from your cart. Also, you can leave your cart without buying the items in it. At NIVO, unlike at a physical shop, you cannot hold an item in your hands, even if it is a small and light one, you always need to put it in your cart in order to buy it :)
Check out:
This is equivalent to the tills at the physical shops and refers to the process of providing your billing & delivery detail, selecting the payment method, adding any discount vouchers, verifying everything and finally paying for your purchase.

• Add the desired items to your cart;
• Check out your cart content;
• Pay.
• Sit back, relax, and wait for the delivery (or for the "Ready for Collection" email in case you opted for collection from our office).
