Hello,
I am a joomla developer and have used the Hikashop component a lot of times in the past, which I think is great!
Currently, I am having a new client which has some specific requirements, but I am not sure that could be all covered using Hikashop. That's why I need your help now. Here is the description of the requirements:
We are going to have 2 categories, let's call them A and B.
A user should be able to purchase products from the CategoryA, following the usual steps: Add to cart-->Checkout-->Pay.
Here is the complecated part:
We would like products from CategoryB to work somehow like a deposit to the user's account. Once the user pays for a product from CategoryB, his account gets credit of that same amount. Let's say he purchase for a product that costs $500, he should get a credit for $500. Then, he should be able to purchase products from CategoryΑ and for each purchase the price of the product from CategoryA should be abstracted from his remaining credit amount.
So, this means that for each purchase from CategoryA, the system needs to check if there is a credit amount to the user's account. If there is enough credits to buy the product from CategoryA, then, as mentioned before, the price of the product should be abstracted, otherwise he/she should pay extra money to get it.
I hope my descreption is clear enough. How possible are all these with hikashop?
Thank you in advance,
Dora
