Adding A "Bidding" Field?

[JimmyG0592]

What I am looking to do is add text fields under the featured product

 

deal (main top product window) that allows people to make offers on

 

products (everyone has to be registered to make an offer) so there

 

should be a 2 textfields under the main featured product:

 

Offer:_______ Email:_______

 

On the side (you will be able to see) different menus for catagories,

 

manufacturers, cart, and tags. I will be removing the "tags" box and

 

be adding one for newsletter (I will be doing that) However, I will

 

need another one of these boxes added called "MAKE AN OFFER" with the

 

textfields:

Item Code:______

Offer:__________

Email:__________

 

If the person making an offer (either in the offer box or featured

 

item area) is registered then it should show them that (either a 4

 

second fade away pop up box or on a page) there offer has been sent

 

(the info should PHP to a designated email that I will set up), If

 

they are not registered then it should tell them (either a 4 second

 

fade away pop up box or on a page) "You must register first in order

 

to submit an offer on any item"

 

Membership:

 

The site is already designed so that people have to register in order

 

to buy, i would like to keep that and also add 2 forms of membership.

 

One for members and one for V.I.Ps. So that people can register at no

 

cost and be allowed to make purchases and offers. A paid membership

 

cost $24 per year and adds other incentives (such as 50% down and

 

balance billed in 30 days, more of their offers accepted) and a VIP

 

membership that cost $36 per year, (which gives them even more offers

 

accepted, 50% down and balance billed in 60 days, and free shipping).

 

The sign in for members and VIPs can just be added to the log in page

 

in addition to join as a member or VIP.

 

Structure:

 

If automated, the offers are accepted systematically, by accepting

 

offers that are (whatever number I have set) above my product cost

 

(with shipping) with a predetermined number (say every 400 for non

 

members, 200 for basic members and 100 for VIP member) being accepted

 

no matter what the offer is (they are called wild card offers).

 

Ideally I would want the system to be completely automatic. Sending

 

formatted emails of declined offers (might say "Sorry, we could not

 

accept this offer. Please try again) and a formatted email for

 

accepted offers ("your offer has been accepted!")that have a link

 

which takes them to the page of the item they made an offer on, with

 

the original price crossed out and their accepted price offer in bold.

 

The system should automatically cancel out the shipping cost if they

 

are a VIP member.

 

For the members they have an option of paying 50% up front and the

 

balance in 30 or 60 days. This should be a simple check box that

 

presents the option on the payment page perhaps as a check box. 50% of

 

the total should then be displayed with a reminder that the remaining

 

balance will be automatically billed to their credit card on

 

xx/xx/xxxx (date that is 30 days from the day of purchase for members

 

or the date 60 days from the purchase date for VIP members). A

 

reminder should also be sent to their email. In 30 or 60 days the

 

balance should be charged to the credit card they have on record or a

 

reminder should be sent to my email (the email of billing) reminding

 

me to charge them the balance. As a payment caution a notice would

 

probably be sent to the customers email perhaps 3 days before they are

 

actually charged.

 

I would like it all to be automated however, I need to be able to

 

control the features, to change properties, margins, offers, etc,...

 

as well as over ride features or turn them on and off. I will also be

 

constantly adding new products, so the system need to be able to

 

integrate the new products {pictures, price, shipping, acceptable

 

offer amount, etc,...) every time a new item is added. perhaps I could

 

control through an admin panel. yes there is already a shipping and

 

payment module installed on the template ( i do not know if you will

 

have to modify).

 

The checkbox (if it is a checkbox) is only to present the option to

 

members to pay 50% of their total and then the rest in 30 days

 

(automatically billed on their credit card) if a member or 60 days if

 

a VIP. If they are paying 100% up front there would be no reason to

 

check the 50% payment check box.This option would not be available for

 

non-paying members.

 

I will definitely need records of all members, their membership type,

 

history of visits, purchases, offers, purchase/visit ratio, credit

 

card information and so on.

 

Offers should be automatic based on set input values (margin or

 

number) and i should be able to set a number limit for each type of

 

member that will give accept an offer (no matter what the offer is)

 

based on the amount of accepted offers received from that member type.

 

EX: for non-paying members every 400 accepted offer will be accepted

 

(no matter what is offered) or for paying members, every 200 accepted

 

offer is accepted (no matter what the offer is) and for VIP members

 

every 100 accepted offer is accepted (no matter what the offer is). I

 

will need to be able to control that number.

 

 

Is this possible? If so, how would I go about it? Would anyone be willin to do this for me, and if so how much? Thanks!

So I guess no one cares to reply? I really need to either figure out how to do this, or confirm it can't be done. Plese reply back. Thanks!
