FAQ: Check Out Issue: Register or Renew Subscription screen
Question: I'm trying to check out on the Living Well site and am getting an error. I recently paid my renewal and I didn't have trouble ordering on the new site last week so I'm thinking there maybe a glitch. I've got 5 items in my cart and when I try to check out I get a screen with the following: Register or Renew Subscription

New! Water Kefir - Hibiscus Vanilla
I'm so excited to try this! Great product if you want something fizzy and refreshing and not a soda...
Water kefir is a fermented, carbonated beverage that is produced using water kefir grains.
Unlike regular kefir, which is made from cow, sheep or goat milk, water kefir is made by combining sugar water with water kefir grains — a type of grain-like culture of bacteria and yeast.
The mixture is then typically fermented for 24–48 hours, producing a probiotic beverage rich in beneficial bacteria.
Water kefir is not only delicious and easy to enjoy but also packed with health benefits and can be an excellent addition to a well-rounded, nutritious diet!

Create Your Shopping List (formerly called Wish List)
Do you typically order the same items every week? Well, we've got a great time saver for you! One of the features I love is the SHOPPING LIST!
You can create a Shopping List even if the market is not open. All you have to do is click "Add to Shopping List" at the bottom the product listing. This will add items to your list. Then, when the market opens up you can click to add the products to your cart and checkout quickly.
Try the Shopping List feature and let me know what you think!

New Ordering Website a SUCCESS!
It was a great first week on the new market website! If you haven't already checked our new website the new address is www.livingwellga.com
If you are currently a member with a paid membership or just recently expired you should have received an email from Living Well Farmers Market with your new username and password. Just use those login credentials and you are good to go on ordering. If you did not receive an email, please go to the new website and register. Choose the 14 day free trial and start ordering.
We hope you love the new website and the enhanced customer experience.
BIG CHANGE- Since I no longer have to physically turn off the market you now have until midnight Sunday to order! I can't tell you how happy I am that the market turns on and off without me doing anything. I love automation! Check out the countdown clock on the homepage - it makes me happy!
You can also send questions (Inquiry) feature directly to the vendors and order from your favorites on Co-op Vendor Stores on menu. You can give reviews on the products and so much more. I'm still working on getting our social media straighten out...I will go into detail on new features you can try every week. Right now I just want you all to get used to logging and ordering on the new website :-)
Pick up is still at Cultured Traditions on Wednesdays but we're getting closer to opening the new store location!
