multiple adverts then checkout

[seymourjames +]

Does anyone have code or a module to allow multiple ads to be placed before checkout? If someone wishes to place 10 adverts there are only two choices

1. sell them a coupon
2. they go though paypal or whatever 10 times.

If I paid to get something like this developed should it not exist. Would there be takers for this module?

If someone made it i would buy it. Although i would rather an automated coupon script to be made.

Not a bad idea. The advantage of the latter is ads would be placed immediately. The script would have to check from say paypal that the transaction had been completed before issuing a coupon for the right number of ads. I think it would get rather complicated this way though as there are multiple payment providers and multiple options - featured etc. The checkout method when the work is done is better and simpler providing the listings are held in a state of inactive. For me this should become a standard feature of 68C. It is a standard ecommerce feature nowadays and it would give a real uplift.

Eric how complicated would it be to do?

I agree with seymour, and I would also be interested in a mod that would allow a user to create multiple ads before checkout. I'd buy it if need be, though think that this would add tremendous value to the 68 script. i have found that the users that I have, and me in particular when listing, that it's very time consuming to go through the process multiple times.

I would like to also add/ask if where possible (with ease) to condense the checkout process to only 2-3 steps instead of 7-8 steps?

What would you propose those 2-3 steps being?

Perhaps first page with combo box/drill downs and has all the category/package/description info on it (steps 1-4).

Then page two will have the verify and preview all in one, and if you need a separate page for payment, that would be the third, though would be better if it were on page two. i know there are a slew of other sites that have fairly long checkouts, though there are some that are single pages. Just trying to think of ways to make the check out as quick and easy as possible. happy users, more listings, potential for more money.

Your thoughts?

Ilm hoping to have dealers / commercial garages so need this feature,

I cant expect clients who wish to advertise 20 cars, to pay for 20 individual paypal transactions,

What my current plan is to sell them a bulk coupon that waves all costs, and is valid for x amount of cars, and only valid for a certain user

we need an add to backet option and pay for all ads at checkout

@chris & @stephen - Can you post these ideas to our feature requests forum?

Although it doesnt support multiple ads yet,

My dynamic checkout is only 3 steps.

You have me thinking though on the multiple ads purchase and I dont think it would be rock hard to do.

You make a mod for it and i'll buy it.
