I need to implement a shopping cart for E-Cards.
Can Smith Shopping Cart v2.85 allow a purchaser of an e-card to choose (an image of) an e-card
and enter a paragraph of text into a comment form, then designate to whom the e-card and the commented paragraph is to be sent. (the receiver of the E-card).
Upon the transaction being completed by PayPal, the Purchaser is notified that the Transaction was completed, and the receiver of the E-card is emailed a link for viewing the E-card and the Comment (Text Field).
Can this be done?
It seems to me that the text from the Comment Paragraph Field (ID) would have to be stored in the database and associated with the E-card Image Transaction ID in order that the two can be viewed together by the recipient.
Answer:
Yes the cart will support selling ecards. You can enable the special instructions field (multi line comments) on the confirmation page to allow the user to enter their comments for the ecard. The special instructions are saved to the database and emailed to the customer in the email confirmation.
The cart will also email the user a link for the ecard. To enable the link being sent you would need to add the link when you setup the product then go to the cart admin settings under the confirmation page settings and check "Email download link".
Here is a link to the cart admin settings http://www.smith-consulting.com/produ... both of the settings I described for special instructions and email download link are under the confirmation page setup section.
