Help for Aimeos

Hi

I am evaluating aimeos for implement in a supermarket and I was stopped in a point ,

How can I sell (register a product for sell) a weightble products like a chiken, a turkey, etc. that it's can't be pre-packeged . For example, I can have a basket with 20 chikens unit and each one can have different weights and the customer will pay for how your chiken has weighted. if a chicken pound is in $2 and your chicken has 6lbs then the customer will pay $12 for it, but I wouldn't know until your order was processed and your chicken was weighted. But the same happends if I sell turkeys legs, turkey chest or a beef piece. Note: I don't worry by the delivery time cause it's free on the city. My doubt is when the customer is front his computer adding to basket and at checkout moment, cause the price will vary deppends of weight of your product and this nobody knows until the chicken pass for the weight.

A different case in delicatessen, where I can sell sliced ham or sliced cheesse, that I can play with one more o less slice to complete the with in the moment to packaged it.

But not all sell products will have same behabior, I can sell a tuna can or corn can, where those can be same product Corn can but it has differents presentations 140grams, 240 grams, etc. witth differents prices, her I think apply variants like the Tshirt example (size S, M, L and color black, white, red)? right!

But is urgent for me solve the first idea, sell products weightble. please!!!

Yes, variant products are the way to go here.

It's a principle problem you can't solve in an online shop IMHO as long as you don't postpone the payment. To be more precise, your customers have to pay either at delivery or at least after the product weight has been determined and the product is packaged. This is because customers put something into the basket but don't know how much they have to pay at the end so you can't capture the payment at that point in time.

Thanks for your early answer!

Ok, you're right, how can I do to:
first, we receive the customer order without be paid.
we prepare the order weight of the products to be weightble like chicken, turkey, etc. put the amount of this productos updating the order and contact the customer to agree the payment.
second, we update the customer order with the final amount and they make a checkout to be delivered.

How i can do this behavior like products quotes?
Do you know what I mean, place the order like a quote, prepare the products, update the order and do checkout.

Thanks

It's possible if you change the "process" step in the checkout process (between summary and the redirect to the payment) to store the order and show the order details only:
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-client-htm ... andard.php
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-client-htm ... andard.php

In the admin backend, you must extend the order panel to be able to change the price of the ordered products:
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-admin-jqad ... andard.php
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-admin-jqad ... ates/order
Set the order status to pending afterwards so an e-mail is sent to the customer.

This e-mail needs a link to the checkout process step including a parameter so the customer is redirected to the payment now:
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-client-htm ... il/payment

If you are unable to extend Aimeos yourself, you can ask the Aimeos company to do that for you:
