    Default Need SIMPLE solution

    I have a client that I created a simple page for ordering custom made baseball bats. There are only a few that he makes and sells but he wants to add a coupon code so that customers can get a discount when purchasing a certain amount. Now since I set up a simple Paypal checkout system, Paypal does not support this. I thought that maybe it is time to have a real shopping cart but looking at this maybe this is too much. I want it to match his current site, http://haagbatco.com/order.html, but not sure exactly how to do this. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have tweaked Wordpress in the past for websites (don't like to) and it seems that this follows pretty close to that. What I mean by that is headers, footers, includes, etc. This may be too much for what he needs. He only has 4 models of bats to sell.

    Zen cart can easily be stripped down to do what you'd like it to do, and it can also be easily customized to duplicate that look.

    You would start by downloading Zen Cart:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/zenc...d?source=files

    In the distro you will find very thorough installation instructions. If you'll be building at the same domain, you would want to do the build in a sub-directory, something like /dev for example. Then after you have all your customizations done and you've tested to make sure everything works, you can move it to the root.

    The one thing that will be tricky is getting four different products with attribute selection all on one page. Zen Cart is designed to go to the individual product page to select attributes, though various people over the years have discussed the coding to put attributes on the listing page, most recently rbarbour with his "quick view" mod development.

    Thanks for all the suggested help. I do have another question...does my client need an SSL certificate through his hosting company or is the SSL certificate on Paypal enough? This might not be the solution for him as SSL certificates are expensive.
