Project Detail

Description

We have currently a perl script working as a main engine for a web store.
It is basically a shopping cart script.
This is in short how it works:
* The customer adds stuff into the shopping cart
* The customer goes to check out; Verifies the products and sees the sum of the products
* The customer selects payment and delivery method, and each method has its own cost.
* The last step shows you the sum of all costs (products + freight and payment services)


The feature needed is the follwing:
We need to add new kind of payment and delivery methods that dont have static costs, but rather percentage calculated costs.
E.g. Paypal. Say paypal takes 5% fee of the total sum.
So if the customer selects Paypal as payment method, the payment service amount is calculated based on a percentage you set up in the perl script.


The percentage mechanism works like this:
You define a percentage of the sum
You define a minimum amount (or disable it) = even if the percentage calculation gives you a lower value, the value is minimun what you define.
You define a maxumun amount (or disable it). Similar to above.


I see this as a small project.
The script is complete and all that is needed is the percentage feature. The programmer will take part of that script and if it seems to be a bigger project than I thought, we might need to adjust the budget.
