Hi

Is there anyway of doing a quote rather than payment when checking out?

Or an option for cheque or COD ?

I would like SCC Pro to email their order and then I can send them a quote rather than them paying.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Sean.

Hiya Sean,

Although it doesn't have those capabilities directly built into the program, it definitely does have the ability to allow you to setup your site as a Catalog rather than an actual Shop. This would allow your customers to browse your site shop and you can then put a page on your site that includes a form which you can build very easily in the CC Web Form Builder if you have that, or trial it if you want to see how it works.

This would allow them to fill out the form with the products they want to purchase (either they can write them down, or you can create drop down menus with the product choices for them etc. in your form) and have it send you an email for their order.

A little more work than just clicking a product to add it to a cart, but many many businesses run their shops via a catalog site rather than a functional shop. Just a thought :)

Hi Jo Ann

Many thanks for the feedback.

Making people make a note of product numbers in catalogue format and then asking them to enter them in a form is a huge step back in my opinion and not user nice at all :(
Seems to defeat the point of using the Software to produce a shop and may as well just do a normal website and save some money.

I will look into the cookies and see how the Cart is stored, I might be able to auto add them to a form some how and email over with a submit button.
But again one of the reasons I purchased SCC Pro was for quickness and ease and also other people are populating the products.

You would of thought Cheque or COD would be a nice option to still have.

Cheers

Sean.
