Hi there. I am on staff for a yearly convention.
We are trying to find an easier method to sell such memberships online -- right now, people have to send an email to us and then click on the paypal link and send us the right amount of money, which doesn't always function very well for a whole host of reasons.
I'd like to use zencart (the best of the three carts available as installs from our webhost). However, what I need from the cart I choose is that it must be able to take an order for, say, 3 adult and 2 child memberships, then pop up a separate registration form for *each* membership to take full info (name, address, badge name, etc.) (often extended families and/or friends buy together). We also need to institute a group discount, though I've seen much more info on that so I should be able to research that separately.
All membership purchases will then be prompted either to go to paypal to pay or to print out their checkout page to mail with their manual payment. We can use a confirmation code to link each payment (paypal or physical) to their actual registration info, to release it to the membership database, so that shouldn't be a big deal; mostly what we need is that ability to take separate info for each individual membership purchased and to store it comfortably in a database so we can eliminate most of the data entry from our end, as we're a not-for-profit, all-volunteer organization and it would be better if our staff could spend time on the things the members can't do.
Thank you all for any advice and suggestions you can provide!
