CasperVend 2/Quantity Vendor
What is the QuantityVendor?
It works just like any other vendor, EXCEPT the customer can pay ANY amount, and they will receive as many copies of the product as their payment covers.
FOR EXAMPLE - You are selling bait for L$10 per piece. Customer pays L$65. They receive SIX pieces of bait, and a L$5 refund.
Configuring the Vendor
Just set it up like any other normal vendor - the configuration page will be the same (but the system does recognize that it is a quantity vendor.)
If you wish to customise your QuantityVend, you can take the script out and drop it into any other vendor shell; it uses the same MAPPING notecard (and thus the same customisation process) as the regular free/premium/HoloVend vendors.
Pay Button Amounts
By default, the pay buttons will payment amounts for item x1, item x5, item x10 and item x50. At this time, these default multipliers cannot be changed.
However, the customer may type in ANY amount in the "amount" box - see the yellow/orange outline in the image to the right - and receive the # of items that the amount they paid will cover.
FAQ / Troubleshooting
- Q. Will it Flood My Stats Page?
- A. No, not at all - the sale will appear as a single transaction, like this:
Piece of bait x 6
- Q. Can I just record the sale on my own servers and not deliver anything?
- A. Sure. A product doesn't have to be set to deliver anything - you can set the item to "None". This will simply accept the payment and record the sale on your servers.
- Q. What if I want to just deliver one notecard but record many sales?
- A. That's fine, we will deliver multiple copies of the "item" - but we'll only deliver one copy of the notecard or landmark.
