I am looking for a platform to accomplish one goal. I want customers to be able to build a cart with products and then share the cart id so my client (i.e. the business owner) can build the order in the store. They wouldn't be able to check out online, but we will be able to build their order for quick pickup. Any ideas about which platform is the best option?
Using Magento you can do that.
Magento have wishlist functionality and a customer can share his/her wishlist to friends.
Using the same idea , a separate extension will be create to add the products and share it with the site owner immediately via email.

We are trying to figure out if its possible to have the following logic on magento CE.
Admin adds products to Magento, but they are to be marked as admin viewable on the front-end only, which means customers will NOT be able to see those SPECIFIC products on the frontend.
Note: customers will still be able to view all the rest of the products on the site, except admin viewable products.
Some products by customization can be made available for some certain customer groups.
So using logic related to this you can achieve your goal.
I have a question is about magento. i am making a webstore and getting 1 difficulty. i have created an attribute called SalesRep. for example if i register from the frontend. i will be in customer section at backend. their at backend admin will be able to select me as a sales rep or customer.
if admin select me as salesRep i will become sales rep. Now i want to shop from frontend on behalf of any customer. i should have facility for search customer name from the frontend. at frontend i should be able to shop using customer details. so i logged in and can select any customer who want to shop. and i will shop for this customer.
I hope i explain in full details if you looking for more information please let me know.
Is there any help. Thanks in Advance
Magento doesn't provide such functionality. Try this free plugin. With it installed you will be able to find a customer in backend, click a "login as a customer" button on customer view page and directly login as a customer in your frontend. Then you can do whatever you need on behalf of the customer, including shopping. However this plugin won't allow customers to pre-select admins who may login on their behalf, i.e. any admin would be able to login as any cusomer.
P.S.: I am not connected to the plugin developer in any other way than I am a happy user of this plugin :)
I just setup a magento store (1.8) and added some demo products, but now my company wants to use the payment gateway built into magento to process payments from another website.
To explain better, my company runs a school and has a website with an application that generates bills for parents to pay. These bills vary depending on class of student and other factors. So Parent A may pay $200 while parent B pays $400.
What we want to do is post the amounts to be paid from the other website to our magento store and add it to cart for payment using our payment processor so that the magento features can still be used to log all transactions.
Since I am new to magento, I don't know if it is possible to do this and how if possible.
We intend to get the other application to generate the SKU, Product ID and Description automatically and post it together with the amount to the store.
So how do I get the magento store to receive this url and process it?
You must need to create product in magento.
When you post the data from other site, pass the product sku.
Then load product by sku :-

Then check magento add to cart functionality how to add cart.
friends,
I'm in doubt about the possibility of a configuration with multiple store magento.
I will explain my business:
I have a online store selling jewelry.
What I need:
I want to create micro franchise scheme to expand my shop
I want to provide a copy of my partner shop:
Different domain
Same products
Receive different paypal account
The seller will only see a list of your customers (independent customers)
The seller will only see a list of their requests (requests independent)
The main shop can see everything (requests, customers)
Is that possible?
Is there any technical procedure?
Is there any extension that makes it work so simple in creation of additional stores?
Please help me on how I can do this.
I have interest in hiring the service of realizing this project.
Thank you all!

This is totally possible and easy enough to do with the multi-store and store front views.. You will need to edit the httpd.conf file for your domain problem Magento Multiple Store and Views
then the login to the admin area for the sellers would be set to only view their customers/items etc. via the roles and permissions on the system.
I want to create a private store (disable frontend user registration and guest checkout, only enable the option for the admin to add new users).
I want to give the registered user the possibility to purchase items without paying at the checkout. I don't want to add products with the price set to 0.00, because at the end of the month I want to send them the invoice covering all the purchases for that month (and for that, I want the products to have the price).
It this possible with Magento?
Please let me know, thanks.
The 'Professional' and 'Enterprise' versions have B2B features to support this.
You can also achieve the same with some free extensions, use Customer Activation with Login only catalog.
For the checkout problem disable all payment methods except "Purchase Order". Orders charged this way can be invoiced and cleared at a later date.
FYI, such features are not available by default in Community Edition.
But this is possible via this Magento Extension called Store Restriction Pro:

Hope this helps.
Thanks
