My client need to sell credit points packages where customers
can then pay for items using these points.
The sale of items will NOT be using ur
system! The customer will only be able to but 3 item using your system. All
other purchases will be via 3rd party system.
Can that be implemented easily using your
system?
Can I somehow relate the purchase to a member in my site and then
update his account with the new credit balance when needed?
Tea Commerce will be perfect for selling credit points and/or a few items (Maybe the 3 items are the credit points!?). What you need to do is:
1. Create the products as normal Umbraco nodes having their own doc type and whatever properties is needed. Properties might include number of credit points, the price for these point and any additional information you need to display about the product. You can do this with our starter kit which can be modified or expanded with the credit point part. You can also build it into an existing website, if that is the case.
2. With our starter kit you will have cart flow and everything else needed to finish the sale
3. All orders are automatically linked to the current logged in umbraco member. This way you can always find a members orders
4. The Tea Commerce .NET API and .NET event model can be used to easily update the member with the points he have just purchased. You can also update any external databases or whatever you need to do when an order have been placed.
That's it. I hope that answers your question. Otherwise feel free to elaborate or create a new post later if you need help with the specifics of the project.
To sweedish you say!? Just inside umbraco or did the server language change? Tea Commerce or the starter kit have no preffered languages and does not install/uninstall any languages so I cannot say what have happened.
Note that the Tea Commerce starter kit is NOT an installable package it's a full website including a database and everything. If you want to use it in an existing website you will need to install it on a clean "demo" website and copy what you need from it to your existing website. Be sure to follow the detailed installation instructions when installing the starter kit. It will walk you through everything you need to do.
Ok. Then go to the users section and check the user you are currently logged in as. That should have the sweedish language selected. Maybe more people are working on the site at the same time as you are!?
Ok this is really weird. I managed to fix this by going to \umbraco\config\lang and copying a new en.xml file. I opened the current one and it was all in Danish...?!
Ok so I'm back on...:D I will install the package again and will probably need your help again....:D
Ok. Thanks for the heads up on that. We will check our code to see if something like that could happen because of Tea Commerce and try to replicate the problem.

Hi Rune,
Many thanks for your quick reply!
It sounds great! However, I just uninstalled the TeaCommerce in order to install the startkit and all my site changed to swedish language.
Any chance you know how to change this back?
cheers

The change took place only at the backend. I notice that the stat kit is not installable...
Ok. Then go to the users section and check the user you are currently logged in as. That should have the sweedish language selected. Maybe more people are working on the site at the same time as you are!?

Weird....No English to select from.......?!
6 Danish option but no english
Wauv. Never seen that one before. Try looking at the languages under the settings section.
That is actually fine....English USA is selected. So the TeaCommerce does not change any language setting?
Ok this is really weird. I managed to fix this by going to \umbraco\config\lang and copying a new en.xml file. I opened the current one and it was all in Danish...?!
