Zen cart based e-commerce websites are primarily B2C (Business to Consumer) e-commerce websites where the site sells (or provides services) and the customers buy (or receive services).
However, many business models would want that the transaction be two way. That is, the customers can buy items from the website and at the same time they can sell items on the site to get a discount. For example, I am planning to a new car – but I also want to sell my old car and get a discount. Such transactions are not supported in Zen cart standard software.
However we can easily patch your zen cart based store to allow customers to sell items to your website and gain credits. These credits can then be redeemed to buy new items. The mod also can have features like – the credits are on hold until the item is received by the website and verified. You can options for your customers to self assess the condition of the item they are selling. For example it can be an item in poor condition, good condition or excellent condition. Based on these ratings – credit points can vary.
Expiry can also be attached to the credits thus gained. The credit points will expire in say 30 days after confirmation. This forces the customers to make a purchase in the stipulated time frame and there by increase your conversion rate.
