You collect order and profile information when customers place orders by using a shopping basket and the check out system on your Web site. As part of the order placement process, users select a shipping method and payment method. When customers place an order, customers provide information about themselves that you store in a profile. You use site terms to restrict the choices of select profile fields.
You can manage the following information by using the Customer and Orders Manager:

Orders. Commerce Server creates an order when a customer purchases a product or service from your Web site. An order contains all the information necessary to process the order, such as customer information, date purchased, currency used, tax information, and more.

Baskets. A virtual container on a Web site that holds the products and services that a customer wants to purchase.
