Unique Virtual Products OScommerce Port for Phonecard Site

Has anyone ported this Unique Virtual Products module from oscommerce over to zen?
oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3883/category,all/search,phonecards

I have been asked to build an online phonecard site where the person pays and gets sent a unique PIN code for their phonecard so its kind of a virtual product - like software - kind of. Only here the catalog/ product needs to be loaded with 20 or so unique PINs for the calling card product which get send out when purchased and then removed from the list. If you follow...

Anyway this module claims to do is for OScommerce. Its says confusingly its not for commercial use but then says its being used anyway. I have found one such oscommerce site http://www.olivenri.com/mtcart2

Not that I dislike OSCommmerce and will use if forced to, but I love zencart. Having used it for 2 + years I am quite familiar with it. I rarely if ever use OScommerce, so there would be a learning curve I'd rather avoid if possible.

So... anyone have this ported across?
If not.. anyone suggest an alternative?
If not.. anyone interested in porting it across? I can probably even pay!!

regards

You don't likely need that other mod. Or may only need portions of it.

The concept and the place to do it is outlined here:

Simply prepare your content based on which products are in the cart, link the information, and it's done.

Sorry for the lateness in my response. I have been playing around with OSCommerce in the hope that I can pick it up quickly and get the customers site done. I must say its not as bad as I remember when I first looked at it 3 years but it's still nowhere near as comprehensive "out of the box" as zencart. Just confirms my decision to concentrate on zen was the right one.

That aside... I looked at the thread. I dont quite get how or if that will work for me.

In my situation customer loads in 10 access codes for (say) ABC calling card. Customer buys said card and then gets access to one of the access codes, which then is removed from the list. So we have nine unique codes left.

I have set up downloadable products before but this is kind of a twist on that. As there is no download involved!

I'd be happy to pay for this ( within reason) to be ported across or written and then would donate it to the it downloads area as I see a few requests for such a module

Can you help here or should I post in the commercial help area?

regards

Richard

Re: Unique Virtual Products OScommerce Port for Phonecard Site

Sorry guys... I went with the litecommrce solution. Its very very good. The shopping cart is nowhere near as feature rich as zen - well unless you buy all the add on modules. But the PIN delivery is great

And wouldn't you know it literally hours after buying litecommerce I got an announcement that a commercial plug in for zencart has been released! Oh well!
Here's the link if anyones interested http://pomidorcart.com/pomidorCartZen-Zencart-Pin-Delivery-Module.html
