Is Zen right for services like travel?

[Elfboy]

Can Zen easily accommodate customizations such as ticket upgrades, different prices based on occupancy, etc.?

If not, is there an open source alternative that works well for service-oriented products?

Thanks in advance.

Can Zen easily accommodate customizations such as different prices based on occupancy?

I've been playing with the Attributes/Options for the first time today (didn't have a need with my other site) and its pretty cool, but is there a way to show itemized prices when they are added to the cart--I would like to show the prices for each upgrade/add-on in the shopping cart.

If Zen is not the answer, is there an open source alternative that works well for such service-oriented products?

Thanks in advance.

I am also interested in using Zen Cart for a travel site. Did you have any luck in finding any info? Anyone else out there that might know the answer?

The only different with a travel site is the price is dependent on many variable (option attributes) such as;

-how many nights (price times # of nights)
-date (value, low, shoulder, high, peak seasons)
-occupancy (single, double, triple, quad rates)
-room category (gardenview, oceanview, deluxe oceanview etc)

-automatic discounts (every 5th night free for some hotels etc)
-early booking discounts (book by a certain date and receive a discount)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've done alot of searching and can't find any Zen carts that have been already customized for a travel site.

Thanks,

Laurie
