Hi
i'm new her,i just discover übercart.
(excuse my not too good english)

To know if i'm going to implement the Ubercart solution, i just wonder if it fits for some personal important points (that are quite on the opposite the majority of e-commerce builders are looking for, I must admitt Eye-wink :

* i need to be able to filter and give authorization or not when people ask or being client.
So is it possible to suspend automatic inscription and then have a kind of three status to treat their asks :
-valid
-waiting for treatment
-refused

I saw there was the ability to make some kind of special area for VIP Membership
here (http://livetest.ubercart.org/product/uberfriend), is it a wy to do what i mentionned above ?

* i would like only registered user could acces the catalogue, is it possible ?

* I would need something like "proposing or membership", is it possible that when a new customer ask for registering the eventual name of his/her proposer is mentioned and check if good ?

* is it possible to have too solutions for shipping :
either the classical one by mail or delivery services
either the possibility to come at my physical shop ? (and so not to have to pay shipping fees)

* i would like to allow the possibility of personalisation, is there a way for customers either to set their own text or to associate different elements to make their own final product ?

that's all (i think) ... Eye-wink

Excuse me if this post should have been posty in another Forum's category.

Thank you for the attention you will pay to my ask ! and congratulation for whta seems to be a great tool for e-commerce !

Well !!
* Possible : you can choose either new account have to be validated by a admin or if they can register without approval (a lot simpler than the VIP membership)
* Yes, of course, you can manage "rights" and then allow registered, not registered, and any other kind of user to access or not your catalog
* I don't understand that question
* Yes, you can configure any kind of shipping method, and even a "free shipping method" that fits your needs
* Yes, I thinks this is named "product kits"

And voila !

If I made a mistake, the ones who know Ubercart better than me will correct this Smiling but in my opinion, Ubercart can be exactly as you want it to be

Cool profile pic award.

Let me recap for understanding;

First Ubercart is an e-commerce add-on to Drupal, so references to some of your requests will be addressed first from the Drupal admin then from the Ubercart added functionality.

Control site access to not allow automatic registration? This is handled in Drupal. Administer>User management>User settings

This should work based on your requirement that only registered members can purchase.

Referal verification during registration can be accomplished with rules and actions from workflow-ng.module and/or cck.module assuming the referrer is an existing member.

Membership levels such as VIP can be setup using roles and access control modules in Drupal. http://drupal.org/node/200631

Yes shipping option can be configured for customer selection (mail/delivery/pickup) and calculate associated cost or credit.

Product flexibility exists. for example: Item-shirt, select color(white/red/blue/orange), select size (small $5/medium $7/LG $10/XL $12)
Other product options example for business card where customer choses image or uploads image, fills form with text to print. this too can be done, however it will take research and configureation testing to setup.

Hope this helps.

am i dreaming Eye-wink ?

I 'm trying to formulate again and more clearly the ask you didn't understand:

* i have two major reasons of accepting to validate a new client:
either i have already meet him/her in reality (i need a line in the validation form where the "applicant" can write some words to explain how he/she knows me)
or this future client is known by one of my actual client (a kind of friend of my riend are my friend).

So i would need a system where the already registered client can propose their friend and also where the new clients can write it down when they fulfill their form, the name of their "sponsored" friend with the ability for me to check automatically if the name exist or not in the data base.

It does not urge to have also "a bonus points system" for the registered client who sponsored other, but it could be great later...

Is it more clear ?

Thank you
(i'm going to download and make test with "Ubercart")

I think the last one sounds more like "attributes". That's how customers are usually able to personalize their purchases.

The third point sounds like some kind of referral system, or a reference check. It's an interesting idea, but I don't think Drupal has anything like that at the moment.

Thank You, Glad to be of service. Also sounds like you may want to install userpoints.module and setup referal points.
This should help you with your research.
http://drupal.org/project/userpoints

This module provides users with the ability to refer other users to a site they are registered at. When the new users registers, the referral is recorded. Users can see a list of users they referred, and the site admin can view more detailed reports... http://drupal.org/project/referral
