The **Cart** is where you temporarily store your imagery orders—whether they’re single tasking, archive items, or recurring captures—before finalizing and placing them. Think of it like an online shopping cart: you add items you’re interested in, review them, and proceed to checkout when you’re ready. --- ## Why a Cart? - **Convenience:** You can add multiple orders or image strips (from tasking or archives) to your cart, compare costs, and finalize everything in one go. - **Draft Stage:** Items in your cart remain in “draft” status until you actually check out. This means you can freely modify, remove, or add more items before paying. --- ## How to Add Items to the Cart 1. **Order Creation (Tasking or Archive):** - After specifying your Area of Interest (AOI) and other parameters (like off-nadir angle, cloud cover, etc.), click **“Add to Cart”**. - For **archive** items, once you select an image strip you want to purchase, you’ll see an **“Add to Cart”** option as well. 2. **Review Feasibility (Tasking Only):** - For tasking orders, you might see a **“Check Feasibility”** button before adding to cart. If the system deems your capture feasible (based on cloud cover, off-nadir, scheduling), you can then add it to the cart. 3. **Multiple Items:** - You can repeat this process to add multiple single tasking orders, archived strips, or recurring orders. > Cart is a **user level feature** i.e. If you have added a few orders to the cart, your colleague who is a part of the organization and same project too, won't be able to see those orders. --- ## Inside the Cart Once items are in the cart: - **Draft Status:** All cart items are considered “draft” orders. You can: - **Modify** an item’s parameters (like changing the AOI or cloud cover setting). - **Remove** items you no longer want. - **Feasibility Window:** The Feasibility check is generally valid upto 6 hours. If the order was added to cart when it was feasible, it is possible that it may become unfeasible after 6 hours and then you will not be able to place the order from the cart. - **Cost Summary:** You’ll see a total cost or token requirement for the items in your cart, including any price uplifts for expedited delivery or lower cloud cover. --- ## Checking Out When you’re satisfied with everything in your cart: 1. **Click “Checkout”:** The system will confirm feasibility (for tasking) and availability (for archives) for all items in your cart. 2. **Payment:** The required tokens will be deducted from your wallet. If there are not enough tokens in your wallet, you can add more from the cart screen only. 3. **Order Creation:** - Once payment is successful, each item in the cart is converted into an **Order** (or part of a combined order if you have multiple items). Once order has passed the feasibility check and is paid for, you will recieve a notification on both **email** and **notification center** which says that **"Order Successfully Created"**. --- ## Common Cart Scenarios - **Single Tasking/Archive:** If you only have one item in your cart, you’ll finalize that as a single order upon checkout. - **Recurring Orders:** You might add a recurring tasking order to the cart alongside single orders or archive items. Each becomes its own order after checkout. - **Modifications or Deletions:** Need to change the AOI or remove an item? No worries—just edit or remove items from the cart before checking out.
