Products to be sold to customers are kept in displays, from where the customer can purchase them.
Stocking displays []
The order menu
- See also: Shipment
Displays need to be stocked with products for customers to buy.
Ordering stock[]
Depending on how many levels you have had a display for, you are usually given a choice (up to three) of suppliers from whom to order stock, each supplying a different quantity of products. There are three categories that suppliers fall under: "Quick Delivery" (the fastest option), "Really Preferable" and "Mass Shipment" (the largest quantity). As with many Facebook games, after you have ordered stock there is a waiting period before it arrives, depending on how big the order is. For example, an order of 17 magazines takes 3 minutes to arrive, whereas an order of 988 magazines takes 12 hours to arrive. Naturally, larger ordes also cost more coins than smaller ones.

Speeding up orders[]
Ordered stock can be delivered immediately by making use of Delivery Cards. The larger the order, the more Cards are needed to instantly deliver it.
Instantly serving products[]
A small amount of products can also be served immediately without having to order stock by using a Product Card.
Stars[]
Stars
Every time you order stock for a certain display, the amount ordered is added to a tally, and when a certain amount is reached, you earn a Star. Each display has three stars to be earned. One Star decreases the order's cost by 10%. The second Star increases the quantity of the order by 10%, and the third Star increases the XP earned from serving the shipment by 10%. When all three stars of all the displays in a department are earned, you unlock an extra display as a reward, for example the Produce special display is Sea product.
