lampstax Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hey guys, I'm looking for a shopping cart ( preferably open source and PHP ) that supports a few uncommon features. I spent most of yesterday digging through the various php carts ( os commerce, zen cart, ect ) and didn't find much useful things. As far as I can tell, all these things will need to be customized so my best bet would be to find a cart that support modules .. almost like a Drupal or Wordpress of ecommerce. BUT hopefully I'm wrong and there is something out there already that supports: Advanced user roles controls / customization. One of the user role ( lets call them creators ) should be able to create a shopping cart list, save the cart and generate a code. Another user role ( lets call them purchasers ) should be able to input the cart code, and automatically have all items in that saved cart added to their own cart to proceed with checkout. A royalty program If a creator generated a cart code that lots of people use to purchase, we need to track this information to give them a royalty at the end of the month. Thanks for your help.

ignace Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Have you looked into Magento as I would almost swear it supports all the above.

bobert5696 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've managed 1 ecommerce site in my life and I used osCommerce. I loved it once I got the hang of things. That took a couple of weeks, but after that point I was modifying it like crazy to suit my needs, and I am sure that your needs could be met with it, albeit, it would take a considerable amount of modification and wouldn't be right out of the box. I don't know your programming experience for if that would be an issue or not. If you are an experienced coder, osCommerce is a breeze to modify.

joelstad Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Install Joomla! and add in Hikashop? (http://www.hikashop.com/) You can modify the bananas out of even the basic version and support is amazing. Have a look around. --Joel Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244856-open-source-shopping-cart-suggestion-some-abnormal-requirements/#findComment-1260035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampstax Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks for everyone's suggestion, I have been slammed at work so it took me a while to get back to this project. From playing with the demo, Margento is my front runner. It has built in user group functionality so I think i can build off that much faster than customizing OSCommerce or Hika. Will play around with that more and let you know if I run into any issues. Cheers!
