I am looking for an ecommerce website for a new jewelry business.
I have found a template which could be used but I'm not sure about the different platforms features and benefits ??? (VirtueMart, Oscommerce, Zen, Magneto...etc)
This template on [login to view URL] seems to have most of the features I need.
Item number: **34304** Type: VirtueMart Templates If this can be adapted to include the following features. Some of these are already there but the following list covers almost everything we need.
The initial site will have about 500 items in 7 - 10 different categories. This will expand in the future. I will do all the photography, item descriptions, pricing etc. I will need to have an easy interface for me to upload new items. Most of the items will only have one photo but an option to add a second item photo would be good as well as some items will require a side view.
I would like to have all the items in each category come up on one long page where the user can just scroll down continuously to the end rather than having to hit next page.
An inventory system will also have to be integrated so customers will see immediately how many of each item are in stock.
I would also like to have a feature where a photo enlargement pops up in a new window when the user moves the mouse over the item photo.
We will need to create and store customer accounts so there shopping cart will be maintained if they do not immediately complete their purchase but want to come back later.
The shopping cart should have a discount calculator integrated as we will have predetermined discount levels for customers spending over certain amounts($50, $100, $200) Shipping should also be calculated automatically. A coupon code feature will be needed on the checkout / shopping cart page as well.
On our end we will need an order process system that will generate the packing slip, invoice and shipping label automatically.
Credit / Debit card processing will be through my business bank but this will have to be integrated into the site ? Not sure how this works?
