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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Quote Link to comment 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
