I want to start a website where customers can mail in their products in for repair, i already have the domain and hosting but i dont know what type of platform i should use.
it would be a simple website with about 10-20 service options, i would be able to use wordpress and then just embed paypal buttons for checkout but i wanted everyones opinion and suggestions on what would be best.

    I think maybe what you need is an RMA and Invoicing system. Something that lets a user put in their details/item description, get a unique ID number/printable ticket, and your address to ship the item to. No payment gets collected at that time, but when they print that ticket now you have an ID and owner info assigned.

    Once you receive the item, you update their ticket with the repair cost and two PayPal buttons - one to pay to authorize the repair, and one to pay for return postage so you can send it back unrepaired.

    I would think there has to be a plugin that does this already.

      yeah definitely would be interested in something like that, a plugin on what platform? do you think wordpress has something like that?

    I know there are RMA plugins for Wordpress, I don't know specifically if there are any that follow through with Invoicing options, but there might be. It probably wouldn't be a free plugin, but do some searches and see what's out there. If you can't find anything I know of a company that could build it for you, there are probably also some people here on WF that could code one up.
