Hey guys i need some advice again...

I am building a simple ecommerce system for a website that has multiple subscription services.

Do you think it is wise to allow for a customer to check out more than one subscription or is it that i should have it as a one by one check out subscription?

If its sounds kind of trivial i appologise...but i'm having a very frustrating time planning out a logic process to develop the coding

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I'm assuming you mean users would have a list of services to subscribe to...?

This could just be me :wink: but I think all e-commerce websites should give the user a final total, regardless of what they are purchasing.
But then again, that's just me. 8)

well what i meant was...yes they have a list of issues to subscribe to

so i just wanted to know if build a check out system to accommodate multiple subscription in one shopping cart...then check out paying for the total of the subscription

or do the check out on a per subscription...thus...the user has to subscribe to one issue...pay for it...then he can come back and subscribe for another one...(of course his information is saved so it is auto filled)

i think i answered my own question though...however i would like to still here you guys...

That sounds inconvenient to the user to do it one-by-one. In order to encourage the customers to purchase more than one, it should be a simple and quick process to purchase multiple subscriptions.

How is a "subscription" different than any other SKU that can be purchased?
