    Default Re: can dload attribute in folder delete after purchase?

    Judging from the first of your many posts which appear to be related to this discussion ( http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180576 ), it appears as though you just need to sell a number of seats, without going over maximum seating capacity.

    Offering an attribute which lets them choose which of the 3 variants of tickets, is easily done with either a dropdown or a radio-button attribute. I believe you said you'd already got that part set up.

    As far as ensuring customers have a means of proving they've purchased, you have a few options:
    a) customers print and bring their receipt to show at the door. You check off their order-number from your master list. Maybe check quantity at the same time, if not "1".
    You might add text to the email and your site, which says if quantity-more-than-one are purchased, then ALL attendees must show up at the door together.

    b) customers merely show ID at the door, and you check against your master list of orders. Obviously this is complicated if someone buys for someone else.

    c) you could add logic to assign serial numbers to each of the tickets purchased, and those numbers printed on their confirmation receipt and also on a master list for your door staff. You'd strike off each serial number as it's redeemed at the door, to prevent re-use.
    d) a variant of this could incorporate bar-code or QR code scanning at the door if you have that sort of technology available. Customers could present their serial numbers or codes via printed receipt or displayed on their smartphone for scanning. Your scanning tools could alert you about whether the code was accepted as valid, rejected as duplicate, or rejected as invalid, etc.


    a) requires nothing special
    b) can probably be done easily if you can print out a list of purchasers. Or maybe use something like suggested here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=459256
    c) would require issuing of PIN/serial/ticket numbers similar to what's discussed at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36391 and http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1301
    d) would require same as (c) as well as custom stuff to handle barcodes and more.

    You can start with simple and progressively get more sophisticated as your time and resources allow.

    Actually I'm sorry about that last response because the real reason for my frustration is not DB's excellent advice but that paypal continues to make me jump through hoops to be verified as a business account so looks like whole event will be cancelled and have to be rescheduled for next year.
