[caution]This new functionality is still within Labs, which means this is not the completed product but rather a ‘beta’ version. Our Development Team are reliant on your feedback to improve this before it is rolled out across the EKM online shop platform. If you discover any issues during using the new Orders Section, please contact the Customer Support Team in the first instance - with screenshots if possible - and let them know what you have experienced.
