I have a client starting a lost and found service where customers can purchase id tags / labels with a unique identifier so that when someone finds a lost item with one of these tags, they call the 800# and my client handles all of the shipping arrangements, etc... to get the item back to its owner.
Each label / tag is good for 2 "findings" or 1 year, whichever comes first.
Tags are sold in sets of 2 and labels in sets of 6.
Three questions:
a. How can I accomplish the following: I would like to set it up so that when a customer orders, the items get an automatically generated unique ID each. For example, if a customer orders 2 sets of tags (4 tags total) and 1 set of labels, the tags get listed in their account order history with the following unique IDs:
T-[customer id number]-1
T-[customer id number]-2
T-[customer id number]-3
T-[customer id number]-4
and the labels get listed like this:
L-[customer id number]-1
L-[customer id number]-2
L-[customer id number]-3
L-[customer id number]-4
L-[customer id number]-5
L-[customer id number]-6
b. What is the best way to set the products up so that each tag or label either expires after one year of non-use OR expires once it has been turned in twice.
c. How to enable these products to be renewable (at a discount)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
Cynthia
Sorry, but you cannot do what you plan with VirtueMart without considerable hacking, which we do not support. This sounds like a unique project which will need a lot of code writing and a special site building.
