How to use for online shopping application? Question #47

Closed logicalguy closed 9 years ago

logicalguy commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I am creating a simple e-commerce application in Laravel. The site will provide a list of about 50 products for people to buy online. I am using this plugin to manage my list of products, and Laracart for shopping cart functionality. I am wondering if this application supports saving orders. What is the purpose of the Purchases screen? And what are modules/memberships?

Sorry if these are really basic questions.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @logicalguy

Currently Redminportal doesn't support saving of orders for products yet.

"Purchases" is used to save orders for "Modules/Memberships". This is meant for digital products, we call them "Medias". To see this in action, try these steps:

  1. Add 2 new Memberships (Name: Gold, Rank: 1 and Name: Silver, Rank: 2)
  2. Add a new Category (Name: Cat1)
  3. Add a new Media (Name: Media1, Category: Cat1)
  4. Add a new Module (Name: Module1, Choose Category: Cat1, at the bottom of the creation page, under Media you should see Media1, and under Price List, you should see Gold and Silver)
  5. Then add a new purchase (under "Module, Membership", you should now see "Module1, Gold" and "Module1, Silver)

Hope this answers your question.
