Mixing "real" and downloadable goods


Guest

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, just wondering if the cart can handle both download and deliverable products at the same time.

 

scenario:

I'm developing a site for selling digital video clips.. most will be downloadable but some will be so large that they will have to be delivered by sending the customer a DVD.

Is it possible to mix and match??

 

The ultimate goal would be to have CLIP1 with several

options: web quality, TV quality, DVD quality, HDTV quality.

the 1st 3 should be downloadable but the HDTV need to be posted.

 

thx for any insight.

yes you can sell both types of product - search the kb and past threads for what to do to set up download products

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

 

What I have not been able to discover are 2 things however (I have searched)

 

Can an option be made to triger a download or delivery for a product?

 

example.

 

I am selling video at different resolutions and hence different file sizes.

so I have a product with 4 options... options 1-3 will add the product as a downloadable item but option 4 (v.high resolution video) needs to be mailed on DVD.

Is this possible???

 

Other thing I cant find is if there is a mod to allow video instead of pictures for a product.

 

Thank You for any assistance you may be able to offer.

you could have opt 1,2 and 3 as one attribute - for download and another attribute which if selected mean dvd -

 

The 2 attribute selections would have to be set independently to ensure the customer actively amakes the choice.

 

For videos - ia have seen people apply swf's for pictures - have a look at the shop forum there is one in there which uses swf's rather well
