Guest mrtwice99 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi, I have a customer with a few specific requirements for their E-commerce solution. I am a PHP developer with very little E-commerce experience, but so far CubeCart looks like the best option. Here are their requirements, with my understanding of CubeCart's ability, please help me out with "???" entries which denotes that I am not sure if CubeCart supports this: o Integrate with shipping CubeCart integrates with UPS. o Allow multiple shipping options on individual orders ??? not sure o 50-day retention on cart contents ??? not sure o provides a list of suggested products based on items already in the shopping cart Related Products Mod o provide an alert to us if order qualifies for flatbed or common carrier shipping ??? not sure o e-mail confirmation of order Admin and Customer recieve emails, I think. o ability to set up specials and discounts confirmed by a code at checkout Goober coupon mod $20 o SEO-friendly Search Engine Friendly URLS mod and goole sitemap (thanks evilhomer) o Unlimited number of products, or a high enough threshold so we can add more products in the future I am guessing this won't be a problem o Ability to calculate discounts for volume purchases ??? not sure o Order notes can be entered by customer with special instructions ??? not sure, will this appear in the admin order email o Generate automated e-mail with UPS tracking information ??? probably works with UPS module o Apply tax by zip code (within the state of Ohio) ??? not sure o Provide an alert to us if customer is tax exempt ??? Is there even a way to denote a tax exempt customer? o Customers can review and rate products, with reviews checked by administrator prior to posting ??? not sure Thank you for your help.

Guest mrtwice99 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Thank you for the response. o 50-day retention on cart contents No Is the cart contents stored in a session cookie? Would it be possible to set a cookie with a 50 day timeout and keep the contents of the cart around? I guess, on the PHP side, you would have to make sessions last more than 50 days? That seems like it might be extreme. How about a "save your cart" or "email your cart" mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woodbtreasures Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Someone has a wish list mod...would that possibly do it for you. If nothing else that mod may be modified to suit your needs? Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
