Online Account Support

How do I access the Barefoot Books online store?

On myROR, you must be listed as a site contact with one of the following Roles to order books: On- or Off-Site Coordinator, Medical Champion, or Clinic Manager (only contacts in these Roles at a Primary site can order books).

1) Login to myROR.org and navigate to your Site Summary page. If you have trouble logging in, click the “Forgot your password” link and follow the prompts to reset/ create your password.

2) In the left-hand menu of your Site Summary page, click on “Order Books” and you will see a page with Book Order Estimates at the top followed by a section for Vendors.

3) Scroll down to the Barefoot Books section. Click the blue Online Store link to access the store, or click “Ordering Instructions” for more details.

4) On the Barefoot Books online store, you will need to enter your site’s Barefoot Books account number. Copy and paste this directly from myROR. Then, you will be asked for your email address (it must match the email you use for myROR). First-time users will need to create a password and then you will have access to the Barefoot Books online store.


How do I know if I've been granted access to place an order?

If your ROR site role is listed in myROR as Off- or On-Site Coordinator, Clinic Manager, or Medical Consultant, you have access to shop. Site contacts at satellite sites, regardless of their role, will not have access to order books; only those designated contacts at the Primary Site can navigate to the Barefoot Books store.


Who do we contact if someone needs shopping access?

The people at your site currently designated as the Clinic Manager, Medical Consultant, On-site Coordinator, or Off-Site Coordinator will have the ability to make changes to the role designations for others using myROR. If you do not know who serves as your site’s Medical Consultant, Clinic Manager, or On- or Off-Site Coordinator, contact your local ROR Affiliate for assistance, or contact [email protected].


The online store says I am the Primary Contact — what does this mean for me?

Your site’s Primary Contact will be asked to establish the tax-exempt status for your site the first time they login (see more details under “Tax-Exempt Status”). The Primary Contact is also designated as your site’s billing contact and will receive an emailed receipt, invoice, and/or statement pertaining to all orders placed for the Primary site and its Satellite sites, if applicable.

If your site’s Primary Contact should not be designated as the Billing Contact, please contact us at [email protected].


What if I oversee more than one ROR Site?

Each site will have its own unique Account Number for the Barefoot Books online store, so if you support multiple sites, you will need to enter each site’s Account Number when placing an order for that location. To switch between locations, you will need to log out and then return to the Barefoot Books ROR login/registration page to enter the next Account Number.


Where do I find my Site’s Account Number?

Go to myROR.org and navigate to your site’s Order Books page in the menu bar along the left side of your screen. Your Account Number is listed in the Barefoot Books section.


My email isn’t recognized — what should I do?

If you were recently added as a contact to your site in myROR or if your Role has changed, this may not be reflected in the Barefoot Books system yet. Contact [email protected] and provide your name, email address, and Site ID number for assistance


My account number isn’t recognized — what should I do?

Be sure to copy and paste the entire Barefoot Books account number (including both the site ID and the part after the dash) directly from your site’s Order Books page in myROR. If this doesn’t work, contact [email protected] and provide your name, Site ID number, and Barefoot Books account number for assistance.


How do I update my password?

Sign in to your Barefoot Books account. In the navigation menu on the top of the page, click on My Account. Scroll down to find a link to change your password.


How do I edit addresses in my Address Book?

Sign in to your Barefoot Books account. In the top right, click on My Account. In the navigation menu to the left, click on Saved Addresses. You can add new shipping addresses, but the billing address for any order you place will always be that of the site for which you are ordering. To change the billing address, contact ROR.


How do I view my orders?

Sign in to your account. In the top right, click on My Account. Find Order Details in the navigation menu to the left.


Will all of my orders show up in my web account?

Yes, all of your orders should appear in the Order Details page in the My Account section, regardless of how the orders were placed.


Where can I find an invoice for an order?

Invoices will be emailed to the billing contact for the site once that order has shipped. You can also find order details — including payments made at the time of checkout and any amount due — under My Account, Order Details.


Where can I find status or tracking information for an order?

The person who places an order on the Barefoot Books website will receive an email when an order ships. A tracking number and link will be included. This information will also be sent to the billing contact for the site (if different) with the invoice for that order.


How do I indicate that my site should be tax exempt?

Your site’s Primary Contact will be asked to establish the tax-exempt status for your site the first time they register and login to the Barefoot Books online store. The Primary Contact is the first person listed on your Site Summary page on myROR.

When logging in for the first time, the Primary Contact can indicate that your organization is tax exempt as part of the account registration process. They will need to enter the Tax ID number/ EIN and upload the state sales tax exemption form for your organization.

If you’re not sure what document to upload, do not proceed by selecting “I am not tax exempt” to bypass this step. Once the tax-exempt status is selected and registration is completed, the Primary Contact won’t be asked about it the next time they log in. Contact your finance department or clinic manager to acquire the correct document, then return to the Barefoot Books online store to upload the document and complete registration.


Sales tax has been applied to my order, but we are tax exempt. What should I do?

Ensure that your site’s Primary Contact logs in to the Barefoot Books online store to set your tax-exempt status (see question above). If your tax-exempt status needs to be updated, contact [email protected] and provide your name, Site ID number, Barefoot Books account number, and a copy of your tax exemption certificate.

LTL (or Less-Than-Truckload) shipping refers to an order that is large enough to be palletized (i.e. boxed and shrink-wrapped onto a skid or pallet) and shipped via semi-trailer truck. LTL shipping is usually only required if your order exceeds 650 lbs. However, your facility must be equipped to handle delivery from large trucks in order to receive LTL shipments. In the event your order qualifies for LTL shipping, we will contact you to determine if your facility is LTL capable.

Contact [email protected] immediately and we will do everything we can to reroute the shipment to the correct address.
