Latest website enhancements
Streamline ordering with our NEW quick checkout feature
Updated 7th November 2023
Our NEW quick checkout feature makes placing an order quicker and easier than ever before!
You can now checkout instantly from 2 NEW areas:
1. From the drop down that’s displayed when you click on the basket icon and hover over your orders. Here you can also edit, cancel, or confirm your order.
2. Directly from a product page. When you add a new item to your order, you’ll see a small pop up appear and then simply click ‘Confirm order’.
As well as this, you’ll also now be able to see a summary of your order on the checkout page, meaning you no longer need to return to the Orderpad to check you’re happy to proceed.
Your feedback makes a difference
We’re always listening to your feedback and looking at how we can make changes and improvements to the website, to make doing business easier for you. If you'd like to provide any feedback on this new feature, please use the yellow feedback tab on the left hand edge of the screen.
Managing your Full Collection Pro enquiries is now easier!
Updated 7th November 2023
We’ve made a slight change to the subject line on your Full Collection Pro enquiry emails to help managing enquires easier.
Now, when you receive an enquiry from a customer, you’ll be able to see the ‘name’ field, entered on the enquiry, in the subject line of the email.
Plan better with more detailed Due in dates
Updated 28th June 2023
We've made it easier for you to plan
The way in which we show you Due in dates for products has changed. Going forward we'll be showing Due in dates that fall within the next 180 days (6 months). In addition, we'll show up to the next 5 Due in dates where available, along with the quantities due.
These changes will give you a better visability on stock availability so that you can make informed decisions when presenting options to your customers, or before buying.
New ways to find exclusive brands
Updated 28th June 2023
Find and shop exclusive brands easily
You can now find our exclusive brands quicker than ever with our new EXCLUSIVE badges. We've added a badge next to exclusive brands in the 'Brands' mega menu dropdown and a banner under the brand logos on the Brands page.
Exclusive brands are an opportunity to offer your customers something unique and stay ahead of your competitors, so keep an eye out for the badge as you browse.
Save time with our unique NEW in-stock alternatives feature
Updated: 31st August 2022
No available stock of the item you want to order?
Our unique NEW In-Stock Alternatives feature means finding what you need has never been easier!
If the product you need is out of stock, this easy-to-use feature allows you to find carefully matched alternatives that are in stock* at the touch of a button.
Simply click 'Find in-stock alternatives' wherever you see the button and you'll be able to find several alternative styles in the closest specification available to order that day*.
Where is the the 'Find in-stock alternatives' button?
On the product page you’ll find the button in two places, in the little (i) icon that shows next to 'Due in' in the Stock column, and at the bottom next to the ‘Order’ button.
In Orderpad you’ll find the button in the little (i) icon that shows in the Stock row as well as under the 'Reserve' button:
Shop in-stock alternatives
Similar styles with the closest specification match are shown side by side for easy comparison. You can filter your alternatives by closest colour (based on CMYK value), price or stock availability (from most sizes in stock through to least) and choose to view only styles that have ALL sizes in stock.
*We’re currently unable to offer in-stock alternatives for styles with patterns or that are multi-colour or contrast. Before ordering, please check for discrepancies between sizing and colour shading across brands. Please note that colours may not be accurately represented in the photography and how they display on screen.

New data options make it easy to display our products on your website

Managing your Current Orders is now easier
Updated: 16th December 2021
Your ‘Sort by’ selection in Current Orders now stays throughout your browser session (up to two hours).
If you choose to sort your orders using the ‘Sort by’ drop-down menu in Current Orders, your selection will now stay throughout your browser session.

Add products to a single open order with just one click
Updated: 2nd December 2021
You can now add a product to a single open order with just one click.
If you only ever have one order open at a time and you don't need to add a line reference or want to keep the same line reference, select 'Don't ask me again for this order'. Any future products will be added to this order with just one click.
Here's where you find the 'Don't ask me again for this order' button.
How we've made it easier...
When you only have one open order your product will now automatically be added to it. You'll no longer need to select the order for it to be added. If you wish to open a new order simply click the 'Add to new order button'.
If you only have one order open, the 'Don't ask me again for this order' feature allows you to add products with just one click provided you don't need to add a line reference or want to keep the same line reference.
If you have any questions about these improvements, please email us or call 0800 252248 and we’ll be happy to help.
It's now easier to open an order from a product page
Updated: 2nd December 2021
Opening an order from a product page is now easier.
Simply click 'Order' and then 'Create order' to add the product.
If you already have an order open, just click the 'Add to new order' button, give your order a reference and click 'Create order'.
How we've made it easier...
We've removed the 'Add to new order' option when you have no open orders. This now appears below the 'Order' button when you have one or more open orders.
You can now add a line reference as well as an order reference when you create an order from a product page. If you want to keep the same line reference or not use a line reference throughout the order, simply select 'Don't ask me again for this order'.
If you have any questions about these improvements, please email us or call 0800 252248 and we’ll be happy to help.
