ob1kadrobe Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Hello, OSC was just installed. Everything looks as it said it should. When people go to register for this event from the registration page, they are redirected to OCS's catalog page. What I need to happen is after people give personal info and click to submit, they are rediredted to a shopping cart where there are 4 retreat options, and 1 option to make an extra donation beyond chosen retreat option. From there they need to then pay. My teacher is putting on a retreat and wants people to be able to give personal info (already working), select a retreat option, then pay. Seem simple enough. However, this part of websites is quite new to me. I have been a professional graphic artist for a decade, done websites, and know my way around a machine. And I do not write code. Once all the paths are lined up, I need some help getting the pages started looking OK. Can any one help? ob1kadrobe
MrPhil Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Are you using osC just to pick one of four "products", put it in the cart, and pay for it? It sounds like massive overkill to me. Have you considered simply making 4 pages describing the 4 retreats, and dropping in the PayPal "Buy" button HTML code into each? I would think that would be a lot simpler than going with a full-fledged shopping cart. Of course, if you want to sell retreat-related merchandise, a shopping cart will be good, but it still doesn't sound like it meshes well with what you're trying to accomplish. For the "optional donation", you could have two PayPal buttons on each page -- one to buy the retreat only, and one to buy the retreat + donation. It should be easy to do a fixed donation amount -- I don't know if you can supply a user-entered (or -selected) price for the donation (variable amount) -- it may have to be a fixed amount.

Thanks for the reply. I am not using paypal. I have another business which uses a company for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). I upgraded to e-commerce status. They will be the ones doing the financial transfers. i get a much better rate overall. However, I must incorporate some kind of payment system. Ideally, when people click to submit personal retreat info, i would like them directed to a page that simply has them pick an option (the retreat is the same for everyone. the price shifts based on age), and pay for it all on the same page that would be great. I am finding my way around this software only a little. If you are reading this. Somewhere along the line we typed in a name that appears in the tabs on a Mac when in Safari. And also at the botton is is copywrited to that name/title. I need to change this also. any help here?
