Templates / Create / modify customer registration page
« on: May 25, 2020, 05:18:44 PM »
Background: I'm new to e-commerce configuration; conversant with Java, been developing with other languages for many years, I don't know much about PHP.
We have a school bus company and we are selling transportation for the children to and from school.
I've got most things sorted out, but where does the parent (customer) the regular things about the family like name, address, phone, etc.?
And also, we also need to know how many children are registering, their grade, age, school, and names.
This being child related, we also need to figure in alternate addresses and contacts.

I've searched around and I can only figure out that after registering, the parent will be directed to a custom form that would need to filled out, asking for all the data bits I need.

I have a bit of a workaround where a parent will purchase a service and then be asked to fill in an option block with the child's info.
But that means an awfully long option block with many fields, and then they would have to purchase each seat individually. They wouldn't be able to say: 3 seats on the 3PM bus.

Question:
Is there already a form that I can modify and use?
Is there a built-in function that I can extend by adding fields?
Maybe create a whole new page, perhaps?
If using a template, where would the data be stored so I can access it for the invoice?

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,
I'm just in the process of configuring my AbanteCart e-commerce site and everything is going great.
It is my first experience in installing website extensions and it's been quite an interesting.
Here are the key points I'm working with:
- We run a school bus company that services private schools
- I set up registration at the family level
- Product categories correspond to the major bus routes
- There is a product for each school
- There can be any mix of children to schools in a family

My question is: we need the children's names attached to each product (seat on the bus) that is purchased.
Even if it's more than quantity 1, each seat has to have a name.
Can I extend the parent registration to include sub-registration for all the children, then assign a child to each product using options?

I could write some programming, but I hesitate to do that because of maintenance concerns.
Perhaps there is an extension to the registration process that might help?
Thank you
