1.Getting around

Open this chapter →

The home page is the front door: search, categories, and whatever suppliers are promoting today.

  1. 1Welcome — here's the two-minute version

    This tour walks the Matjrplace in the order you'd actually use it. Press Next to move on, Back to revisit, and Escape to leave at any point. You can restart it whenever you like from the ? button up in the header.

  2. 2Search, if you know what you want

    Type anything here and we'll match it against product titles. It's the fastest route when you already have something in mind — browsing by category is better when you don't.

  3. 3Browse by category

    Every category the Matjrplace stocks lives on this bar. "All" takes you back to the home page. Pick one and you'll land on a page you can filter and sort.

  4. 4What's being promoted

    These are sponsored placements — suppliers and affiliates pay per day to appear here, so treat it as a shop window rather than a ranking. They're ordinary products otherwise, at ordinary prices.

  5. 5Start browsing

    Pick a category to see everything in it. Next we'll walk through narrowing a category down to what you actually want.

2.Narrowing it down

Open this chapter →

A category page shows everything in stock, with filters and sorting to cut it down fast.

  1. 1Filter by price and availability

    Set a minimum, a maximum, or both, and tick "in stock only" to hide anything you can't order right now. Filters live in the address bar, so you can bookmark a filtered view or send it to someone.

  2. 2Sort the results

    Newest first, or by price in either direction. Each card shows the photo, title, supplier and price — that's everything you need to decide what's worth opening.

3.The product page

Open this chapter →

Everything about one product: photos, price, who sells it, and how many are left.

  1. 1The photos

    Product images come from the supplier. If a listing has no photo you'll see a placeholder here instead — that's a listing detail, not a broken page.

  2. 2Price, category and who you're buying from

    "Sold by" is the actual supplier behind the product, not the Matjrplace. Every product on the site belongs to an independent seller, and that's who fulfils your order.

  3. 3Choose a quantity and add it

    The quantity picker stops at whatever stock the supplier has left, so you can't order more than exists. Adding to the cart doesn't reserve anything — stock is checked again when you place the order.

Review what you've picked, adjust quantities, and see the subtotal before committing.

  1. 1Everything you've picked

    Change a quantity or remove a line here. Your cart lives in this browser, so it survives a refresh but doesn't follow you to another device.

  2. 2Subtotal and checkout

    The subtotal is the items only — shipping and taxes are worked out at checkout. When you're happy, this button takes you to the final step.

5.Placing the order

Open this chapter →

One address form, then the order is recorded and appears in your history.

  1. 1Where it's going

    Fill in the delivery address and phone number, then place the order. Worth knowing: there's no payment gateway connected yet, so nothing is actually charged — the order is recorded and shows up in your history exactly as a real one would.

6.Following your orders

Open this chapter →

Every order you've placed, with its current status.

  1. 1Your order history

    Each order shows what you bought, the total, and where it's got to. "Placed" means it's with the supplier, "Fulfilled" means it's been sent, and "Cancelled" means it won't be coming.

  2. 2You'll be told when it changes

    When an order's status changes you get a notification in this bell — no need to keep checking this page. That's the whole shopping path; the ? button restarts this tour any time.
