To all,
I'm looking to prototype a storefront and searching for the right tool/product. I've read all I can on KonaKart (the forums, the documentation, Etc), and I'd like some opinions on whether it's the right tool for this type of storefront. Here's my high-level requirements and I'd appreciate any feedback on how to use KonaKart to solve them:
1) Products would be a 'subscription' service and not physical products. While I see that I can sell non-physical items (e.g. the download products), the subscription based products I'm looking at still have limits and inventory issues behind them (e.g. can't oversell capacity)
2) While the subscription products would have optional items (e.g. upsell features), how would you handle a confirmed and active order for modifications (e.g. I bought the basic, now I want to add features I didn't select at the original order time)
3) Completed and active orders. Would it be tremendously difficult to add a 'page' to a user panel such that when a current customer logs in, they can see all of their active subscriptions and any usage information therein (think current usage, totals, etc).
4) Could I use the 'grouping' feature to allow for a group of users to manage the same accounts (e.g. Fred can see all of Tom's orders and change/delete them since Tom's no longer part of the group)
I know, it's software so anything is possible, but any ideas would be appreciated to minimize the amount of cutom coding required
