OneTimeBuyButton

[fridemar]

Dear support team at E-Junkie.com,



On http://www.aboutus.org/OneTimeBuyButton we created a page to invite service providers to offer a OneTimeBuyButton, targeted to DomainTrading, especially to SocialDomaining.



I googled for such a one-timer, but found no entries.

Otherwise I suppose, that E-Junkie allows this control for their customers.



It would be great to leave here some (link to a) detailed answer, that we can refer to here from Aboutus.org

Clicking on the OneTimeBuyButton should at least lead to a page, notifying the user, whether the domain is

sold or not.



We can then immediately put it to use in Aboutus.



However an even superior solution would be to have such an OneTimeButton integrated into the API of a GoogleSpreadsheet or EditGrid or Zoho or a similar (public open) online Spreadsheet, such that when the Buy-

Button is used the first time, it is greyed out immediately after that.



The most seller- and buyer-friendly solution would be of course the automation of the payment with an induced

(Intra-) RegistrarDomainTransfer. This would practically work as a FreeEscrowService, making life easier for

millions of Domain buyers and sellers.

From the registrar Name.com I know, that a transfer from one customer to another one takes only a sequence of

a handful actions, that could easily be taken over by a program.

Other registrar might have similar procedures.

What you describe does not sound like anything that could work with our current service features at all. Unless you have a specific question about how to use our existing services, we really cannot think of anything else to say that might help at all. Good luck in your endeavors!

Thank you Tyson_N for answering.



Yes, I have a specific question:



Is it possible to initiate the E-junkie BuyNow Button in a way, that it accepts only a single buy click? (An explicit link to your HowTo section would be helpful.)



It should be easy to leave the message:

"This product is not available anymore."

after a one buy-click is served, in the same way as it is the case after a user-defined

time-out.



There are a lots of things, that can be sold only once (not only domain-names, but also

tangibles that are available as unique objects).



We won't sell things twice, that are only for one happy buyer, who gets it once and

only once as priviledged buyer and nobody else :-)



We wish you success in the same sense, as you wish (and help us to realize) good luck.



It's a winwin situation for the payment service provider and their clients.

Hi Fridemar,



It sounds like you're describing our inventory control feature. You could certainly limit 'Add to Cart' button to one purchase if you use inventory control set to 1 product. When the inventory is exhausted and someone clicks the 'Add to Cart' button, they will be notified that the product is out of stock.

Dear Stefanie from the E-Junkie Crew:



thank you for pointing to your inventory control feature, that appears to be ideally suited for selling domains.



Yes, I think, you are right.



We can see an OpenDomainPortfolio for sale as an inventory, that happens to have for each item only one exemplar.



When you look at the wiki-page:



<-> http://www.aboutus.org/Usertalk:Aaron_Poeze#OpenDomainPortfolioWithOneTimeBuyButton,



you can see in the Edit-View, that we "only" can use clickable images (and no Javascript).



Is it possible to use E-Junkie's "Add to Cart" button without JavaScript in the same way

as we did it for single BuyButtons ?

Hello,



Is there a way to change the wording from "This product is not available anymore" to something else like "This product is temporarily out of stock"



The former seems so final.



Thanks

Actually, if you're using Inventory Control for a product, when a buyer clicks the product's Add to Cart or Buy Now button after the stock has been depleted, the message that appears does say "This product is out of stock" . :^)
