The Ordering tab
Within the Ordering tab, you can enable online ordering as well the additional options available while placing an order. In the Shopping section, you can select to allow the customer to add special instructions to an order, specify custom gift information, configure whether or not to offer an Image CD, Image DVD, or DVD Cinema product, and determine whether the image media is included automatically with every order.
In the Payment section, you can specify whether an order needs to be pre-paid Always, Only when Shipping an Order, or Never.
In the Catalogs section, you can specify the catalog the website should use for displaying prints, gifts, and border options.
Lastly, in the Photo Review section, you can specify that if a certain image size is ordered it is swapped for a more appropriate print size based on the image's aspect ratio. This is most often used for customers that order a 4x6 print while taking photos on a digital camera that utilizes an aspect ratio more appropriate for a 4x5.33 ratio.
