Special Requirements For Oscommerce Installation

[krsaborio]

Hello. I'm in the process of doing a new osCommerce installation via SiteGround.

 

The owner of the Web site that will use osCommerce wants to do the following:

 

• online payment processing to link up with Verisign, Paypal, Telecheck etc

• export financial data to quick books complete with backend management console

• multiple emails upon each order

• auto generating of invoice

• tracking of keywords, search engine data for all orders

• ability to add upsells. Once a user decides the buy a product, the sales is transacted and then the user is offered upsells

• multi payments such as 4 payments of $50.00 as opposed to 200.00

 

Will the default installation of osCommerce permit to do all of the above?

 

Or, will I be forced to modifiy the installation to accomplish the owner's requirements.

 

Thank you in advance for any input to this matter.

 

Cheers!

To accomplish the above, will I need to make heavy changes to core PHP?

 

Are some of the above items obtainable through the default installation?

 

I like to avoid changing PHP core files because future upgrades to the latest osCommerce version become troublesome.

 

Cheers!
