I would like to be able to sell virtual merchandise for downloading. For example, I have a band that woulf like to sell their music online. They would like to sell the songs individually and them had the customer be able to download the song after the purchase. I understand that this can't be done in shopping cart creator. I've been told that certain opensource ecommerce carts can do this... if so why can't this be done in Coffeecup Chopping Cart Creator?

Terry - It is something that is on the list to be done (will probably be a future release of PRO version). Meanwhile, there are some creative work-around's out there. You could probably work something out with WAM and have the PayPal message saying the transaction went through show a user name and password(?) There are others on here who have discussed solutions until it becomes a feature.

Hi!
At first I had the limited SCC tryout, now I have bought the whole e-commerce pack with SCD but I'm frustrated when there are no function to put in a picture in "the Pages" ?!?. I payd a lot of money for these programs because I was sathisfied by the SCC's tryout as a tryout. I was sure it should be more designfacilities in the paid version......

I'm still interesting in buying the PRO version, but I wonder about the price for the Pro version for us who already paid for SCC. Will there be a lower updating-price?

Hiya Trend, again hehe,

It's been mentioned to us that those that have purchased the SCC program and a version of the SCD program will receive special pricing when SCC Pro is released so hang in there it's coming soon.

As for the images going on the pages, you just need to use the HTML insertion tool on the Edit bar of the page. Manipulating it is a little more difficult and we've been told should hopefully be something addressed once the Pro version is released and they can start concentrating more on some other things. Give it a try though and see what you can do to manipulate it.

Keep in mind that inserting Text and Images in the same HTML insertion isn't recommended, it does tend to get messy trying to style the text if it's in the HTML code snippet instead of out of it and it can tend to make manipulating the image more difficult too. Just a tip

All of CC's products "trial versions" are full-functional. They do not block or limit their abilities in any way. As Jo Ann mentioned though, we've been told that there will be special pricing for those of us who already have SCC.

So I've been using your CoffeeCup Shopping Cart Creator and I think its great, but its lacking some features.

1. The ability to add individual shipping prices to products
2. The ability to Up-sell on other products

Thanks,

PV

I know your first concern is addressed in the new creator pro, but I am not quite sure what you mean by the second concern?

Eric

Pictures can be put in the pages of an item (to recommend other related products etc) with a bit of basic html linking to other items. The type of code I use is like this

"<a href="http://www.shop.dronfieldcomputers.co.uk/viewitem.php?groupid=16&productid=52" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.dronfieldcomputers.co.uk/images/microsoft/win7hp.png" width="120" height="130" border="2" alt="Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium" />

</a>"

the examples are from products in my own shop, but.. when an "additional item" is clicked on it opens in another window and can be added to the cart directly.. hopefully helping to upsell more stuff !

Actually the shipping prices is already in the basic version "if" I'm understanding you correctly. Each product has it's own tax, shipping & handling setup in the settings on the right side. You can choose to either "Apply Default" or you can uncheck that box and enter your own amounts for that product. If this isn't what you meant then please clarify and we can go from there

That is a nice idea you two, not sure if it will be implemented or not, but I'm assuming that's based on the "If you like this item you might also like this.." philosophy? If so that would be pretty cool. I see a lot of that type of scenario on shops, also the thing like Amazon has "people that bought this also bought...." type of thing too. I hope that's what you meant guys

Right now, graphics insertion via the HTML is kind of messy for me, mostly the positioning of things for the most part. Inserting them in the code is fine but getting them where you want them isn't so easy to do lol. But... I do have to say that it is possible with quite a bit of work to put your code in, but it would be an entirely manual thing that you'd have to change out yourself if you wanted different items etc. The HTML insertion tool allows you to add whatever you want which includes text, links, images etc. via code. Give it a shot, maybe you can figure out how to place them better than I can, and if you do, do share please
