Hi all,
This is my first post so I hope I am putting this in the right section.
I thought I would begin with this and see if you guys have any thoughts on the best way to go about accomplishing a project I am considering.
I am looking to create a site offering an online service. Lets call it a facilitation service. Putting particular buyers in touch with hard to reach suppliers.
Basically, I want visitors to pay a small fee to be allowed to send an email to my database of suppliers, requesting pricing for the items they are looking to buy. This fee would be chargeable each time they used they service. Products are small value and frequently sought.
I want to make the fee payable via a phone call/text - much like is done on the site Donedeal.ie. They then get a code, which they input on the site, which allows them to submit their request - once.
The bulk mail feature is straight forward. I can do this via a membership/subscription service on the site through Joomla, which I am proficient in but I am inclined to investigate the integration of the phone payment system.
Anybody have any thoughts on how they would approach such a job - would you use a cms? do you know of any scripts/templates/components that are pre built for this type of thing. I have some ideas but I am curious what others think.
Many Thanks to anyone for any replies
