Buying Addons
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi, not really a tech question but more about logistics. I am putting together a site for a client at the moment. At first they didn't want the ecommerce addon, but they have changed their mind and would like to have it now. What is the best way to have them pay for it directly and me to install it, even though I don't have the site on their server yet? Is there like a free developer version or something? I haven't bought any C5 addons yet so I'm just not sure how this works. Had I known up front that it was going to be part of the project I would have billed them for it and paid for it myself.
I suppose I can still get them to pay me and I pay you for it, but there is going to be a time delay for that, which means I can't get the rest of the site finished. If it's a case where I do have to purchase it first, I'll work it out somehow, but it would be nice if there was some kind of development license or something until it's on it's proper domain.

If you're using 5.4 (which you might as well be) you can do this quite easily. Setup the site somewhere (anywhere) and connect it to the community. That will make a project page for it. Then have your client make an account here on concrete5.org and buy the ecommerce add-on. You can add them as a contact to the project page, and they can then grant the license of the add-on to that project at which point you can auto-magically install it.
See, this is what I love about C5. Every time I think "I wish..." or something is hard, it turns out it never is. You guys were thinking ahead, that is a damn fine system, licensing to the project. I already had the site registered as a project (a new feature I also just discovered). Sweet. Thanks!
