    Default Is a Video Rental site possible??

    Hello, im looking into implementing a video rental site for a project.

    I was looking into using osC as my platform, but before i start this i want to make sure its possible to implement.

    But osC is used for selling products not renting. Is it possible to change osC into a rental site?

    Are there any better platforms to use to do this?

    Any advice would be great, thanks.

    Since you have posted in the osCommerce forum - I assume this is what are using rather than osCMax?

    I can see no reason why you could not use the site for video rental ... are you trying to do a postal service model? Or is it a physical store as well?

    You will probably need to tweak the Products_expected bit a little so that you don't have to continuously reload your stock when it is returned. Eg. when video is rented - automatically set the instock date to +3 days ... ie. when it is returned. You will need to think about late charges etc.

    However, I have not seen a specific module for this purpose before ...

    Then you should be fine! If you don't have to handle the returns, late fees, stock levels, etc. then it should be a breeze!!
