I am in the process of setting up my products in a revecom account and have a question for those of you using them.

How do you combine products in one sale? IOW - my order form gives customers the option of domain registration 1-5 years and my different hosting options. I haven't figured out a way to combine the two figures without setting up a different product for every conceivable combination --- argh!!!

Any help would be appreciated.

I use Revecom, however, I use their TPP Pro feature which allows me to send variables from my own shopping cart. I don't think you will be able to make this happen unless you create some kind of solution on your end and then just pass variables to them.

I have a friend who uses their standard system just like you but he only sells products. If you offer domain registration and hosting just like we do it would be a nightmare trying to get it to work well unless you have some kind of solution installed on your end and then use them only to process the payments. ;)

I'll have to contact them and find out what TPP pro is. The order form is a php script so it should be easy for me to pass certain variables to them and do it that way.

Thanks,
Dean

Yeah, give them a call. I know for a fact that they don't like to advertise the TPP Pro system because they have had problems with people not being able to set it up correctly.

We use it here though and a personally like it a lot.

Well, I have the info for TPP-Pro but I'd like to use my own form that does input validation (posting to $PHP_SELF) and upon successful completion mail the values to me and then send the user along with variable values to the revecom site.

Everything works except getting the user passed off to the other site. I thought header("location:url?var1=value1") would work but it doesn't.

Any idea how to do this or where I can go for info.

Thanks,
Dean

Can you point me to info about the TPP-PRO solution?
Can`t see anything about it on their site. The options you are describing is exactly what is missing in the TPP-Sales system I am using now.

Bert informed me of this and it looks like it will be fantastic when I get it working (Thanks Bert).

You have to actually send them a support email asking specifically for it.

They'll send you a sample form and you can work from there.

Ok, I opened a ticket with them, requested info about their TPP-Pro program

Hope they send me something more then their usual "one liners".

Does anyone know when their proposed new system will come along?

The information I got was that the Pro solution has a $129 setup fee, so I scratched that plan.

The new system, the last I heard, was still under development with no release date planned. I have a feeling it's been tossed. I've asked them enough times to not bother asking again :)

Personally we're looking at alternatives.

I don't really know what to tell you Dean because I am not a PHP programmer. I do know about Perl and I created a script that basically emails me all the customer info prior to taking the customer to the TPP pro application the form validation is done with Javascript which is not the best method out there, but it works for me. I just have the script autogenerate a Customer ID number then and I pass that number over to Revecom as the product name. By using this method I get pretty much all the specs about the order and don't need to pass so many variables to TPP pro. The only drawback is that if the customer decides not to go on with the transaction I end up getting an email anyway prior to them paying, but I guess I can live with that for now.


Walter:
Do they have a new product coming out? I didn't know anything about it.


Greg:
We only paid $49.00 for the TPP pro Solution. It might have gone up in price, but we just signed up back in February.
