Let user select if he wants the ordered product branded, and then add 5 euros?

Hello, i am thinking of using quick.cart for making a jewelry web shop for my friends company, and was just wondering how easy would it be to add a text box and a click box to the shopping cart, so that when a user has added a ring to their box (just for example) and wants their girlfriends name branded into it, they simply have to click on a box, and then type int what it is they want to be branded. Once the box would be clicked the price would then go up with 5€ for example. Im thinking this might still be doable, but would it be possible also to define objects as "brandable" and "non-brandable" when adding them and modyfying them, and also for example define a max text length for each object and ofcourse the price for branding the object ( because that can be a sum from 2 euros to 80 euros :) Thanks to everybody in advance!

In paid version of Quick.Cart is a Product's attributes module and it can be used for this issue but it doesn't solve whole problem. It have to be connected with input field (You can of course set max lenght of this field) which should appears when proper value of attribute was chosen.

If You don't want to use paid version of Quick.Cart it will be more difficult.. You have to add three fields to products_ext database. One (int) to store data about the available of this option, second (string) for text, and third for price which should be added to default.

It's no so simple but can be done..

Thank you for your answer, since this project is a low budget one we we're thinking of using the free version to begin with, and depending on the amount of customers it will get we might upgrade to the paid version later on, is this by the way a hard thing to do? Do you need to upgrade the code and so on? or do you just enter a serial of some sort to unlock the features?

Thank you for this great product by the way, i would never have thought that this would have been this easy :)

Conversion from free script to one of paid version is quite complicated (changes in schemas of databases for example). If You buy paid version You recieve whole default script and all data have to be added once more. If You expect change Your script to paid version maybe You should ask Yourself now about that..

perhaps it would be possible to add a "virtual" product or a service, called "name branding". The customer would then order the ring + name branding service, those two "products" would together yield the price you require for both. That is IMO a very clean way to do this.

Remember, you can add this service to every page that displays products, you can even select a high-priority for it, so it displays first among the products.

Ok, well that ofcourse would be pretty neat =) and i gather they could put what they want to be branded and what to brand in the comment for the branding? Sounds really good indeed.
