osCommerce

[eskimo42]

Hello everyone I have an e-commerce site where I sell a flashcard study system. Currently I already have the site designed and I do not want to change it at the moment. So I have some needs specific to my product and I was trying to gauge whether or not osCommerce will meet these needs.

 

So here are my issues:

 

 

1. The issue is that I don't want to change my website really at all. I’m not to keen on the standard osCommerce "design" which I have seen on most sites. Is there a way to just integrate this into my current design? I would just like to add "Buy it now" buttons and have the ability for people to have a "basket" with the current design scheme. Is this possible, and how so?

 

 

2. My shipping is kind of complex:

 

I sell my product as a "whole set" or you can buy it in sections, in each case here are my shipping needs if you buy a whole set:

 

Whole Set:

Continental US:

UPS GROUND: $10

SECOND DAY AIR: Capture Real-time rate + markup

 

AK, HI, PR:

USPS Priority Mail: $15.50

 

Canada:

USPS Express Mail: $22.50

 

The problem I foresee is that all of these shipping rules are for the same product and say if someone from HI orders I want them to ONLY see the option for USPS Priority Mail of $15.50. Once again I was wondering if this was possible to customize osCommerce around my shipping needs.

 

 

3. Need to be able to export orders in Tab or CSV format. Also if someone places one order of 3 "products" will this be three line items in the Tab or CSV File? I had experience with another shopping cart and if someone ordered 3 sections it would come out as 3 different line items in the CSV file even though it was only one order.

 

 

I hope someone can give me some guidance and if osCommerce is not right for my needs can anyone provide an idea of a solution that might be more fitting. Thank you all very much for your time!

 

Sincerely,
