Custom use of cart

I have a unique need for a shopping cart. I have an organization with a list of names that a customer will have to choose from. The customer will choose a bunch of names from the list and then "purchase" them. On the admin side, we will take the names they purchased and mail a card to each one of those names on the customers behalf. So we need to:
  1. Have the ability to upload a list of names to the database.
  2. Provide a consise list of names to the customer, no pictures. Perhaps 100 per page or so.
  3. Have the ability to download the names a customer has purchased to a spreadsheet or something like that.


Can anybody tell me if this is a possibility with Zen-cart or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Is this a ponzi scheme of some kind?

Re: Custom use of cart

this is not a ponzi scheme. It's a commonly used fundraiser for a non-profit organization, in this case, a school.

Re: Custom use of cart

You could use Easy Populate to bulk-upload a set of products, each of which is titled with a name.
You can customize the product listing to show just your desired information.
Do you want to download the names yourself, for sending cards? There are reports available in admin - don't know exactly what they provide. There may also be report mods available in Free Addons.

Re: Custom use of cart

Thanks for the reply! Just trying to get an idea how easy it is to get a list of items to look like this:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith [checkbox]
Mr. and Mrs. Jones [checkbox]
...
...
[Button to purchase all selected items}

Re: Custom use of cart

That is done in admin > Configuration > Product Listing >
Display Product Image
Display Product Manufacturer Name
Display Product Model
Display Product Name
Display Product Price/Add to Cart
etc.

and
Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location
