    red flag Storefront POS integration

    Please help.

    My client has a store which is doing extremely well, and now we're creating the website and shopping cart for him.

    Here's the needs and issues:

    1) He's looking to install a POS system and wants it to integrate with his shopping cart. I need to know if/how/where for ZenCart and POS software integration, even if it's a "how do I download and upload the ASCII files.

    2) He's got several (argh) products which go in every folder of a certain type. I'm still stumbling over how to use that multiple copy feature...how do I enter a product once and have it go in, linked, to about 60 or so folders without doing it 60 times (either by typing or copying it 60 times)

    3) Is there a way to duplicate FOLDERS so that I can have twenty categories with the same folder structure under them? For example, I wouldn't want to have to create the "Fang Toothed, Snarl Faced, and Bug Eyed" in 60 different folders...is there a way to populate all the "types" with those three folders?

    Monsters
    .....Red Types
    >>>>Fang Toothed
    >>>>Snarl Faced
    >>>>Bug Eyed
    .....Blue Types
    >>>>Fang Toothed
    >>>>Snarl Faced
    >>>>Bug Eyed

    Thank you.

    Ollacart and cre loaded do not integrate with boutique sites that needs sizes , colors etc.... Not without major coding.

    This is per the developer.

    Anyone have any other solutions?

    As for your #2 and #3 questions, you should check out Easy Populate in the Free Add Ons section of this site (top-left, under the Zen logo). If the free version won't quite do what you want (and I think it will) you can buy a somewhat more capable version. Details in the free download package.

    In general you would set up at least one category and a sample of each product type manually using Zen Cart's admin as usual. Then you download one or more files (as needed) from the database using EP. You examine these files carefully in Excel until you know exactly what goes where, so you can fill in more rows with more data right in Excel. When you think you've got it right, use EP to upload the files and check out the site. Iterate until it's good to go.

    (No, I'm not affiliated with the EP people. I use EP and like it.)

    I'm currently half way building a module very similar to MagneticOne's Zen Cart Point of Sale but totally Open Source and customisable.

    Is anyone interested in helping?

    Cheers

    I've been playing with the vinsquare demo. It looks as if it has possibilities.

    I would be very interested.

    I am fairly new to Zen and PHP but I would do all I can to help.
