VBulletin with store/products

[philiclese]

We are developing a site based on Vbulletin that will be selling physical products, which come with membership to Vbulletin website. I know Vbulletin has a storefront, but it really is for subscriptions, and doesn’t lend itself to physical products requiring photos and gathering shipping addresses, etc.

Is there a solution anyone would recommend, that would combine Vbulletin as main website, with a “real” storefront, and even merchant status (or 3rd party solution), and where logged in member (if existing member) can go to store and membership info is already there. All with single login? (Maybe XCart and AMember?)

Or should we just modify subscription area to allow photos of products? (We have older version of VBulletin on undeveloped site sitting unused...do we need to upgrade to v4? Is V4 subscription area nicer? Perhaps photos allowed?)

Thanks.

There are a number of solutions in terms of using a points systems, there's one or two commercial products, and there's a load of dedicated developers that can assist you in getting one made specifically for your website ;)

The choice is yours.

PS Pre-Sales questions regarding vB4 should be asked on the forums at vBulletin.com.

You state that you already have vBulletin installed so the rest of your questions are not pre sales but should be asked in the appropriate forums once you have confirmed your license status.
