Hi Stacey!

Thank you so much for your message! 🙂 To confirm, your shopping cart will always display the same total (both before and after you purchase a membership) because the prices noted on our website are our discounted rates and they’ve visible to everyone. Both members and non-members can add discounts to a shopping cart on our website, the difference/advantage for members is that they’re able to access our website’s private checkout page, where an official order can be placed to secure the discounts that are in the shopping cart (non-members aren’t able to complete this step).

I can see in our system that you followed the checkout process and were able to submit an official order for two discounts, which is great. We’ve begun processing that order, and you should have received an email from our online messaging system a little while ago to confirm that. FYI, that email also contained information regarding next steps. 🙂

Pura vida!
