how to provide "upgrade" option when selling software

Post by rafekemmis » Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:23 pm

Greetings again,

We will be using AbleCommerce to sell software products. So far I've found the documentation on how to create a serial key provider, so I think we will be okay for providing serial keys to first-time purchasers of our software. However, we need to provide a reduced-price upgrade option where we accept the user's old version serial key, and then verify it in order to allow the user to purchase the upgrade product which has a lower price.

What might be the best approach for creating this functionality in our store? We have the capabilities of writing custom code for this, but we would like to do as much as possible to make it easy for us to upgrade to future versions of AbleCommerce. Any ideas or input on this from you AbleCommerce pros would be helpful and most appreciated!

Thanks much! :?:
