How To: Use Reward Points






Each $25 USD you spend in Assunta Store earns you one reward point towards your next purchase. Points are deposited to your Assunta Store account about one month after you order.

You can substitute those points for cash on future orders that you make. When you go to check out, there are several payment options, and one is to use your reward points.

Choose that payment option FIRST, and all of the reward points currently in your account will be applied toward the cost of your order. You’ll see that $1 will be deducted from your order total for each reward point you had in your account.

After that, you can use Paypal to check out as usual.


You can check the reward points balance in your account any time – just log in and click “My Account”; reward points are listed in the box near the bottom of the page:


If you need any other help with reward points, just let us know! We'll be happy to answer your questions.

How To: Place a Local Order in Beijing


Sometimes we receive e-mails asking us how to order from Assunta Store and have it delivered within the Beijing area. There are two ways you can do this:

Method 1: Online
Order and pay online, using a credit card or PayPal account. If you do not enter your shipping address in Chinese characters, please email it to us separately.  We will ship your order through a local courier, such as ShunFeng Express.

Method 2: Cash on Delivery
If you live inside the 5th ring road, or in the Shunyi area and prefer to order using RMB, we can enter your order into the store as a manually. We’ll deliver it to you personally, collecting cash on delivery. 

To place an order this way, you need to e-mail us a list of the items you wish to order from Assunta Store. One convenient way to do this is to collect the items you want into a shopping cart and then email us a screenshot of your cart.  

When you email us, please let us know:
  1. Whether you already have a customer account in our store, and if so, what email address is associated with that.
  2. What items you’d like to order – please include information about options available such as size, color, etc.
  3. Shipping address in Chinese, if possible.
  4. Delivery phone number, and whether this person can speak to our driver in Chinese.
  5. Best time to deliver -  when someone will be at your delivery address to receive your package.

Once your order is created in the system, you'll receive an order confirmation from the store, as well as a separate confirmation e-mail confirming the total payment in RMB and with info about setting up a convenient delivery time.

Hopefully this post answers your questions about this way of ordering from us; of course, if you have any other questions, you can feel free to e-mail them to us, as well.

How to: Insert Magnetic Snaps

Hi, everyone. Sometimes we receive questions about how exactly to insert the magnetic snaps we sell, and also how to use them in general. We wanted to give you all some information about them in this post.

What are magnetic snaps?
Our magnetic snaps are a silver-tone, very low-profile closure that fastens using magnets rather than snapping a stud into a socket. You don't need a snap press or snap pliers to attach them.


How can I use them?
Magnetic snaps are often used as closures for purses or wallets. Though we sell a lot of supplies for making cloth diapers, we don't recommend using these snaps for diaper making.

How do you attach them to fabric?
We've found a couple of great tutorials on the web that will hopefully shed some light on this question.



Do you have any suggestions of your own on how to use or apply magnetic snaps? Share them in the comments section of the blog, we'd love to hear from you!
