Background:
The client is a local funeral provider. Mount Royal Commemorative Services is Montreal's leading provider. Their website (
www.mountroyalcem.com
) contains a custom-built Obituary component and now a Flowershop e-commerce component (Hikashop). The payment system being used is simply Paypal. The store has already been set up with all of the products.
Tasks:
Create a link to the Flowershop from the Obituaries component, in such a way that when the user clicks "buy flowers" when viewing an individual obituary, some data from that obituary is captured and relayed into the flowershop ordering form (variables to capture are: name of the deceased, service location).
Configure a Paypal IPN (
www.paypal.com/ipn
) so that confirmation of the purchase is not sent to the florist before payment has actually been received. This is an important issue because otherwise the florist may fulfil an order without a customer actually paying (decides to close the paypal window, echeck bounces,etc.)
Create a separate email notification (different from the purchase receipt which is sent to the customer) that lists no sale price. This notification is the one destined to the florist. My client doesn't prefers not to have them see the marked up sale price.
