Hello everyone!

 

I'm currently working on a project for a rental company.

 

Essentially, what they need is an e-commerce layout and shopping cart. However, instead of the cart proceeding to a check out situation where the user pays for the items, it needs to direct them to a page where it adds up the total cost of all their items, where they can review the price quote and then submit it to the company along with their information for a follow-up.

 

So the process goes...

 

- User looks through site, adding products to their cart

- When finished, click 'view cart' or 'view quote' et cetera

- They are presented with a quote for their products they wish to rent

- They can submit it to the company for follow-up or edit the cart

 

As a designer, this isn't something that I am familiar with. I am wondering if there are any third-party carts that could work like this, or perhaps tweaked to work like this? Or will this require a developer.

 

Thanks,

Nate

This really depends whethere all "quotes" for a selection of items would always been the same for any visitor.

 

Shopping carts will give you a "cart" page where added items are displayed along with totals (including tax/shipping if required) so that could serve as the "quote" price. I take it you wouldn't want to collect payment at this stage - if that's true then most shopping carts have an "offline" payment method which could be used to complete the order with.
