    Extension on shopping cart - possible?

    Hi

    First off, my site is a wordpress site.

    What I am trying to do is work out how to get a customer to buy a few of my computer service plans, and then register which computers are covered by them.

    Say someone comes to my site and buys 15 "service plans".

    They then have to allocate which computers will receive them by giving their computers a name and registering that name on my site. They will be stored in a database and "belong" to the client that purchased them.

    Later on I can search the computer name to find the client that registered them.

    I am hoping they are able to do this during initial purchase, but Im not hopeful.

    Does anyone have any idea how this could be achieved on a wordpress site, possibly using woocommerce?

    You can do this through various methods, I would suggest going with a HWID method. Basically you would want to have a small program that is run on each of the computers which generates a HWID and then reports it back to your server.

    While I haven't got any experience with woocommerce I'd imaging that it shouldn't be hard to create some form of extension however I'd say it'd just be easier to roll your own and let woocommerce handle all the payments.

    I just had a meeting with a web dev who quoted me less than half of the original quote I got elsewhere that made me want to try to do it myself.

    I may be going with the new quote

    In a production setting it may be a good choice to use a professional web developer. What way did he suggest doing it?
