Convert WordPress plugin to C5

Permalink
Helllllo!!

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with converting a WordPress plugin to C5. There is an eCommerece plugin that has a couple extra features that the C5 eCommerce doesn't have (which was a major bummer because I love that plugin) and my client definitely needs.

Will pay for help!

Thanks!

Hi rainmaker

It would probably be less effort to implement these extra features as an extension to an existing C5 ecommerce solution rather than re-inventing the wheel.

You could try contacting the authors of existing solutions e.g.

Hey Wtds!

I thought the same, but the feature she really wants is sending different products to different shipping addresses--all in one cart. That's a MASSIVE change. :(

This isn't something I will be doing, but thinking about the checkout process in eCommerce.

- Insert a new page between the Billing/Shipping address stages of the checkout allowing the user to split the cart into 1..N sub-carts.

- For each sub-cart run the shipping address stage. When submitted run the shipping calculation on the sub cart and accumulate the costs.

- When all done, proceed to the Payment method stage with the overall cost.

There would also need to be some small mods to the payment stage and from then on because eCommerce currently re-runs the cart calculation for each stage rather than carrying the calculated cost forward.

Hey JohntheFish!

Thanks for the tips! That's what my mind was thinking, but I haven't attempted it yet. My boss wanted me to reach out to see if anyone could get it done faster.

Thanks!
