Please note. All orders submitted before the site goes into maintenance mode are valid and will be processed normally.


We have been working for the past year with Arizon Digital to redo our site. Our platform is still Bigcommerce and our payment systems are the same. The Gift card system is not affected. We are moving from an old legacy custom template to a newer custom layout to take advantage of many newer features both on the backend, frontend and other areas. The site uses a filtering system instead of the category system we use now. Many of the categories will become filters and you can toggle various filters as needed to expand or narrow what you see. You can search all, then use filters to further narrow results or just use the filters as is.

The search engine will now use AND searches instead of OR searches.
This means if you search for "Talley Low Remington"
Then all of 3 of these search terms will be somewhere in each product that is returned as part of the search results. This may be a Title, Description or Keywords we added. No more search results that only contain part of what you searched for.

We will now show shipping options for Canada Post, Purolator & GLS. (GLS can handle all products but only ships to certain areas). We have the capability to add more shippers in the future. Various shipping options will show depending on the product types in your cart and what is allowed to be shipped via what courier and what is available in your area. You may see a combined price if you have items that must go via different shipping methods. In that case, your items will ship in separate boxes via the approved shipper.

Depending on whether carrier options are available for your shipping address, ammo, powder and primers will be available to purchase directly on our website without having to call us for a shipping quote.

There are many other improvements and changes meant to enhance the user experience as well. Be sure to explore the site and keep in mind that you may uncover a bug or something that needs fixing. Please let us know of your experience and if there is anything we can improve upon.

Our site will go in to maintenance mode This weekend on Saturday the 24th at 430pm mountain time and reopen Monday morning.

Existing Customers and Orders will transfer to the new site. Our URL remains the same. All contact info remains the same.

If you wish to make a purchase while we are offline you may email info@prophetriver.com with what you wish to purchase.
 
Sounds great. Will past order history under account on current site still be visible on new site once launched?

Yes, All past orders will be under the same customers as before. You can see your history. Orders are in the same numerical order as before. So the older the order the smaller the order number with the newest orders showing at the top when the new site is live. This is the same as it is currently.

The order numbers of the old transferred orders however will not be the exact same as the original numbers due to the way they had to be created.

However, the original order number will be in the notes of the new order so they are still searchable in addition to being under the same customer.

Transferred orders will retain all the original info of the old orders. All the expected things like contents, prices and notes. But also will have the original date and timestamps of orders and shipments and some more stuff.

Please note the site is still up. Its live and functional. Until it goes into maintenance mode all orders are valid and will be transferred to the new one. We had thought it would be down until the new one was live but Bigcom left the license in place for both during the switchover. So until the site is just a mesg saying its under maintenance its ok to place orders.
