PHPAuction provides the most complete suite of applications and services for
building auction web sites. PHPAuction packages can be customized to add new
features or modifying the existing ones. This customization service is provided
by PHPAuction Certified Developers.
Few PHPauction based websites that X-Wire has customized in last three months
are as follows:
|
|
| 1. AutoGraph Store, Anthony Nurse, USA |
|
|
|
Objective: Autographstore.com
is the ultimate destination for authentic celebrity autographed collectibles
and signed memorabilia. Autographstore.com is one of the most recognized names
in the collectibles and autographed memorabilia industry.
Celebrity autographed collectibles and signed memorabilia are auctioned on the
website using a PHP/MySQL based application that was customized by X-Wire.
X-Wire has provided the following modules for AutoGraphStore.com:
|
 |
Invoice System
X-Wire designed and developed a custom Invoicing system that allows all high
bidders' items to be combined together and includes an area where they can add
and adjust the shipping costs based on domestic and international shipping
fees, and combines all winnings from customers. This invoicing system was done
just like the eBay invoicing system and was linked up with Pay Pal payment
gateway.
The invoice system was semi-automatic, meaning that automatically the system
groups all winning bidders' items together and then the Administrator can add
the correct shipping fee and click on a button that will automatically send the
winning bidder all of the necessary information by email about the items that
they had won. The email shows the price for each item, the sub-total, the
shipping charges, the total, as well as payment instructions, and provides a
link in each email that will bring the customer to Pay Pal to enable them to
pay Autograph Store using their paypal account.

Permalink Development
The individual URLs that the site originally showed for an auction item was
https://www.autographstore.com/auction/browse.PHP?id=65502
For the permalink, we developed the URL to read as
http://www.autographstore.com/auction/female-celebrtiy-autograph.htm but still
pointed it to the same browse.PHP?id=65502 internally. The purpose of this was
to optimize the website and to make it search engine friendly.
