Was this information Helpful?

I thought it would be an easy solution... and I still think it is, I just realised I'm stumped. How do I prevent customers from bying the same product twice?

We feature an introductory product which we want to give each customer the option to buy only once. I'm sure this has something to do with role expiration, but then again I'm not.

Has anybody done this before? How do I go about it?

Thanks
Francois.

Re: Buy product once.

If it's a role thing they can just make a new account.

I think you misunderstood.

Essentially what I'm trying to do is to prevent the same customer from bying the same product twice. Only 1 per customer.

Hello,

I apologize for bumping such an old topic, but I've searched everywhere for the functionality to only allow one product per customer. This feature would be great for several reasons.

  • Trial Products - Only buy once combined with the free product module.
  • Software Keys - Combined with Product License module, you could ensure only one key is sold per customer.
  • Cell Phone Dealers - Often dealers are required to limit one phone per customer.
  • Limited stock - You want all your customers to have a chance to try your limited quantity products.
  • This would essentially put Ubercart ahead of Zen-Cart because it doesn't have this functionality! It only limits one per order.

I'm using Ubercart 2.x, any help would be greatly appreciated. If something like this isn't available now or within 2 months, I'll definitely sponsor development of one if others are willing to chip in, or I'll hire a custom module developer. Thanks!

Re: Re: Hello,

Thanks, the dev 2.x version seems to be very close to what I'm looking for. I'll give it a go and report any issues within the project's issue queue.
