Software and Tools

This section is still evolving. It will give information on how to use the free software that Petals provides to partners for transferring orders to and from Petals.

Software Features

  • converting those orders for the exchange rate from USD to your currency, subtracting any fee you apply for your work then printing a faxable order form with your business name. This allows you to forward these orders to your network of florists without re-typing the information
  • orders downloaded from Petals can be exported from our software in a format that can be imported into your software to remove the need to retype orders into your software
  • orders that are to come to Petals can be typed into the Petals software then sent electronically to Petals.
  • orders for Petals can be exported from your system and imported into the Petals system then electronically transmitted from there to Petals HQ

Download Software

There are two versions of the download files available. The one marked first-time users contains everything required to use the system for the first time. The second one marked existing users contains only the program files. If you are already using this software and download the first-time version, your existing databases will be overwritten so you will lose your existing information.

After downloading, click on the file to extract it to a directory named c:\petals Once this is complete, read the readme.txt file for further instructions.
