Has anyone ever seen - a rental store implementation?

[Guest]

I run a rental business as well as doing PC tech work. I was wondering if anyone had ever done an implementation of a OSCommerce store that was actually not selling things but renting them out and scheduling dates and times. Still collect customer info, just add something to every sale that would allow for collecting reservations specific stuff.

 

thanks

You can do a rental site, but as for scheduling and such, you will want to use a calender type of thing for the scheduling.. oscommerce is AWESOME for doing online sales, but it is not the only software you need to run ANY type of company.. Personally, i like quickbooks. I use it all the time, and there is actually a contribution that lets you import ALL of your sales directly into OSC

There would be a lot of modifying to make osCommerce do what you want it to.

Quickbooks has a good UI but the code infrastructure is horrible.

I am the web store owner. Before I ask my web developer to integrate Quickbooks what do I need to do to be ready? I want the ability to track my income and expenses and orders. What is the best solution for me?
