Is this possible with Magento? - magento

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

Using Shopping Cart ID to customize experience

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.

Magento split payments for different items in same cart

Here is the problem:
I have multiple suppliers of physical goods, each with their own bank account.
A user is able to order items from multiple suppliers in the same cart.
The payment from the user for each item needs to go into the relevant supplier's bank account - these transtactions will be handled by multiple separate Braintree accounts.
Is it possible to achieve this with Magento Enterprise Edition?
I was looking at a similar thread (https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/6974/split-order-into-seperate-orders-and-calculate-shipping-seperately-with-ups-and) which is dealing with the shipping side of this problem but I am not sure if it can be adapted to also work with the payments?
Thanks for any help!

multi store magento - different domain, same products

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.

Magento extension to allow a customer access until a certain date

Does anyone know if there's already a magento extension that can restrict customer access on a given date. Example a user will only be able to login from dateA to dateB.
I've found Customer Activation extension, but it's only a flag that enable/disable customer login.
Thanks,
czetsuya
AheadWorks SARP would be good for this - it's not free, but it should do what you are talking about

Magento Paypal Express having issues with Downloadable Products

Just like to send a thanks out in advance for the help.
I have successfully setup a downloadable product with the option of filling out the URL in the Downloadable Information section. I have also successfully integrated the Paypal Express payment option. I can also successfully add the product to my cart, checkout and pay through Paypal Express from the link on my cart. I also am receiving the order email successfully. The problem comes once the download link is clicked, Magento tries to process and download but re-directs to the account login screen.
Here are a few notes:
Guest checkout for downloadable products is enabled.
System->Configuration->Catalog->Downloadable Product Information-> Order Item Status - Set to Pending (I am thinking this is the problem due to the fact that I can't change it to Complete) If you agree, please advise on the best way to accomplish this.
All orders are showing as Complete and PayPal is successfully capturing the monies.
Again, thanks in advance.
Set the Order Item Status to enable Downloads to Invoiced and this fixed the issue for me
There appears to be a bug with Magento 1.4.x that does not allow user account registration at the checkout process. You can select register, walk through the checkout, and you'll get paid and it will all look successful and everything, but Magento will fail to create the customer account, thus making it impossible for the users to download their product.
It totally sucks. I have a store that is useless until I can figure out how to get this fixed, as I only use the express checkout method, and all my products are downloadable.
