3. Enter Customer Information

• After confirming availability, proceed to the Customer Information step.

  • Selected inventory
  • Date and time

  • Total cost
• From here, you can send the customer a quote or move forward with payment.

5. Process Payment

• To process the payment directly:
  • Click the Pay Now button.
