    Default Incorporating site

    Hello everyone. I am new to Zen Cart and new to eCommerce in general. I chose Zen Cart because it looked like an easy interface to work with and because my hosting provider installs it for you! I understand how it all works, but I have a small problem.

    It is my goal to create an eCommerce site that allows users to incorporate new businesses (see legalzoom.com, incorporate.com, bizfilings.com). I understand ZenCart enough to add the products, the attributes, and to get transactions to work. What I need to be able to do is to collect the user's information to file the company. Some things I need to collect are: proposed company name and a few alternates, contact info for the requester (which can be collected when a user opens a new account, I suppose).

    In any case, how do I collect information about a product that a user must put in before it is added to the cart? Also, how does the admin retrieve that information?

    Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    That is all done with attributes - in your case, mostly Text type attributes. The values of entered text attributes are part of the order confirmation admin e-mail, as well as being stored with the order.

    Text type attributes, huh? Thank you, I'll try tinkering with them for a while.
