    Hey guys,
    Taking on a new e commerce client who wants something kind of peculiar. Ive done ecommerce with virtuemart and zencart before but Im not sure if one of those is the best choice for this. Basically the customer wants customers his customers to be able to place an order online for pickup and pickup only. He doesnt want them to be able to pay for it. Rather he wants the order to be placed and an invoice sent to someone so they can prepare it.

    On top of that he wants a manageable inventory system that would be live on the front end of the site as well so customers can see how much of each product are available. Also im sure he will want different selectable quantities because he is a bulk retailer. For example

    1-10 units: $5 per
    11 - 20 units: $4 per
    21 - 30 units: $3 per

    So just looking for some suggestions from some of you who might have experience with this kind of situation before and i would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance!

    All I can say is magento was extremely buggy for me. I might try opencart for my next project.

    I installed prestashop and right off the bat i found the Catalog Mode which might be perfect for what i need. Awesome so far, how have your experiences with prestashop been? Any good tips you can give me? Thanks man!
