Good news everyone! I've created an FRF store to improve upon the current ordering process. The method of having users just send a paypal payment and write the information in the notes was a sloppy way of conducting transactions.
Thus, I've created an FRF store to help streamline the process.

Some benefits:
- Supports Paypal
- Supports Google Checkout
- Allows users to see which options are available, and ensures users are only capable of picking options which exist. So no more confusion on what options are available and which are not.
- Forces users to enter a complete mailing address.
- Provides a way for me to mark an order as shipped, and a way to see all unshipped orders. Thus eliminating the potential for me to overlook an order.
- Provides a way for me to easily notify users when their item(s) have shipped.
- Provides a way for users to see their orders, both past and present. As well as the status of their orders (EG: if it has shipped or not)
Some things you should know:
- The store has absolutely no integration with the forum. So if you wish to have a registered account on the store, you need to register on the store.
- Registration is optional, you can click "guest checkout" if you do not wish to create an account.
It's likely that there will be a few quirks considering this is a brand new thing, so please bare with me. If you notice any errors or anything that seems out of place, please let me know. I know the store looks bare with only two items, however this is done intentionally for the initial release. Presuming things go well, I'll be adding additional (and more complicated) items such as FRF apparel.
