Hi,
  I don't think you need to worry about having them pay before filling in the details.
It will be much more custom work to build it like this & offer nogreat advantage that I can see & probably some disadvantages.
If they fill in the form as part of the order process then the detailswill only get stored when the order is complete - including paying forit.  It will also possibly put customers off if they have to purchasethe registration before even seeing what information will be stored.
It'sno different in that way to someone selling "widgets" - you wouldn'twant to see the order for a "widget" until the customer had paid for it.

Product cart has only three custom input fields built in to it,  so it wouldneed a  custom version of the code.

Yes the DB will be populated outside of product cart, if i can create a text file or any kind of file really with the information i can then import it to a DB program which would work too, my main problem is making enough customer fields on my product page and once they fill it out i need to make sure its saved somewhere, where i can get the information from Productcart to a DB. Also i want to make sure the person credit card is charged and approved before they can get actually type anything, this way i dont get peoples information when there card gets declined.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 11:47:45 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/need-help-with-customized-product-thx_topic1651_post5207.html#5207 <![CDATA[Need help with customized product.

Hi SOnY,

On the order page there is a text box for customers to fill in any additional info they want to send you. It's an optional filed, but it's possible to make it a required field.
Checkout requires them to be logged in and their registered address details are automatically populated in the order.

- I'm not sure I fully understood your needs here, is the DB you want to populate outside of Product Cart - say on a PC in the office? If so you can extract the data using XML, custom data exports, or  scrape the info from the order emails.

How many custom fields can be added with the new product cart?
 
I am wanting to create a new product in my product cart, once the customer pays for the product, i want the customer to then be directed to a new page or in product cart, fields to appear where they can type in information about what their ordering, and then want the information they typed to be stored in a database in paradox or access. Also I would like their name and address fields to be auto generated based on what was typed in their product cart registration.. Can someone tell me how easy or hard product cart can handle this because i have 0% knowledge on how to do this with product cart, any examples or coding or anything will be much appreciated! thanks everyone.
