Selling services instead of products


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am looking for a shopping solution that allows me to sell services instead of products.
In google I was pointed to Prestashop, but in the demo-admin area I cannot see a way to add a 'service'.

What I need to do (and probably program myself) is add a step in the ordering process for the information that is required for the order of the service.

The services I want to offer are SSL certificates (and domainnames etc).

Any help or pointers into the right direction are welcome !

Thanks,

Taco

I just started to look into this also. Prestashop has the notion of "virtual products" that can be downloaded. This would seem to be close to what you want. In the back office choose a product and check the checkbox "Is this a downloadable product?" in the Infos tab of the product.

It would be fairly simple to replace the downloadable product with a script that generates the correct certificate. You would need to change the default behavior of Prestashop. I'm doing something similar but for a pure service (the customer does not download anything). Adding a "feature" to the product named "service" lets me tag the product as a service then have different behaviors associated with it. For example replace the link to the downloadable product with a link to the certificate generation script.

Hi

Has anyone succeded to build a PS site that doesnt sell products but book services. For example, baby sitter site, or talent agency site, or modeling agency site where employers searches and finds employees in PS made site so for that finding service employees should upload their own profiles to be searchable in the site. So to be registered as member employees have to pay for site membership annually.

Has anybody achieved doing similar? Or can that be achieved using PS?

thnx
