PLEASE read this entire project, to know what I’m looking to achieve, so there will be no misunderstanding. I am also open to answering those questions I can answer and I am open to suggestions as well.
=======================
MY CURRENT SITUATION
=======================
I presently have a web site located at
http://www.softwarewholesalers.net/
This site is fully functional and has a working shopping cart script (which I am not happy with – more as to why I’m not happy later).
============
MY PROBLEM
============
The current shopping cart script works but it took a ScriptLance programmer a lot of thought and hard work to make it work (thank you codebarons!) The script itself does not keep track of my sales properly (quantity, names of products and the tally of sales is WAY OFF). The only thing it truly does successfully, thanks to ScriptLance programmer codebarons, is to deliver my digital products by secure download. And yes, that is something I need.
==========================
MY OBJECTIVES or MY GOALS
==========================
First (and this is important), I wish to keep my current framed layout like it is at http://www.softwarewholesalers.net/. In other words, I need my product links to appear in the content window as I have them setup on the menu (but the current cart script has it’s on template – click some links to see what I mean).
Second, I need a shopping cart script that works with PayPal (this is a MUST) and will automate the digital downloads (this is a MUST also), without me being hands-on). Now, I’ve been shopping and have located what I believe to be a decent script. I just need an experienced programmer to tell me if they feel they can make it work my my current layout. The script in question is located at:
http://www.idevspot.com/DigiVendorPro.php
Thirdly, I need the script to require ‘membership’ or registration (no charge for this as I currently have setup at my site). The purpose for this is so that I can update my customer, via e-mail, when my site has been updated.
Fourth (and final), I need and admin area where I can add categories, products, descriptions, product images/screenshots, etc..
==============
MY CONCERNS
==============
As stated above, my current script is working in that it does accept the PayPal payments and delivers my product for me. I need this system to continue to be available to my customers while you are working on setting up the new script, etc. I cannot afford to lose a customer because of ‘remodeling’.
================
MISCELLANEOUS
================
The script I suggested above (http://www.idevspot.com/DigiVendorPro.php) is just that, it’s a suggestion. If the programmer I choose says yes, let’s go with it, I’ll buy it. I have not done so yet.
Again, as I stated above, I am open to suggestions (ZendCart?) as I have come to respect the lomg-time professional programmers here at ScriptLance and their opinions.
I just need a working shopping cart, that will deliver my digital goods, without me being hands-on all of the time but will work my current layout, and keep a running tally of my sales, as well as my customers.
Finally, the sooner this can be accomplished, the better. I return to work this coming Tuesday (day after tomorrow here in the southern USA), therefore, I would like to complete this prior to that time, if possible (I am flexible).
I will escrow the amount (please see my feedback – I am longtime client here at SL!).
==============
MY SERVER
==============
My server has the latest PHP (5.0 I think?), as well as MySQL. It is a linux box and I have CPANEL as well as FTP access.
Please PM me with ANY questions.
Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!!
