Would you be willing to share the part of your script that polls the Bitcoin exchange rate?

You just answered my question.  I was googling for "bitcoin zen cart" earlier when bitcoingadgets.com popped up.  I thought: "Cool.  I wonder whose site this is?"  Now that I know it's trustworthy, I'm going to go back and order one of those TV-B-gones.

The site is more or less a partnership. I'm handling the Bitcoins/running the website, and a friend of mine is handling the shipping and updating the catalog.

Do you really have 1000 in stock?  Wink

No. Probably a hundred at most. (Not my department so I don't know off hand.) Zen cart is weird. It requires stock. So for now I just went into the database and set all of the quantities to 1000. Tongue

How much trouble was it to get Zen Cart working?  I've heard it can be a pain.

It wasn't too bad. I ended up just hacking the money order payment module and making it dish out a Bitcoin address at the end of the order. I also had to build a simple script on a crontab that polls the Bitcoin exchange rate and sets it in the zen cart database. My partner insisted on us pricing the goods in US Dollars internally, and displaying the prices in BTC. I had no objections.

I know the module and crontab work because the other site (Bitcoin Sex Toys), has had a few successful orders already. Smiley

Oh, and since you're the Mad Hatter, I think you should sell magic mushroom tea.

Hello all,

I just discovered a bug with the Bitcoin Gadgets site that was preventing people from completing an order. My hacked shipping module was breaking things, apparently. This has been corrected. My apologies to those who had attempted to place orders over the past couple of days.

The site has also been fully themed. It looks way better now.

More great LED lights have been added to the site today. Some of the new additions include high efficiency LED strip lighting for homes/offices, and stylish pot lights.

Anyone have any suggestions for products I should carry?
