I am in the process of builing a new sports site.
Using Drupal 4.7 with CVS version of Ecommerce.
I havn't got it all working yet [its my first foray into the Ecommerce module], but I have a few questions.
I would like to use the Ecommerce module to allow users sign up and pay for events.
This could be done as a simple shippable product, but for any event, I need more information from the Users.
In my case, I need a date of Birth, as a mandatory field.
I guess I could have this as a mandatory field in the profile, but I don't want to bother users for details that would only be needed if they are purchasing a product.
Has anybody implemented a similar setup and have you any tips for how to go about this?
Also, is is possible to limit sales of a certain product to particular country?
Regards
Alan

not possible at the moment
I'm currently looking into using Drupal + Ecommerce module myself.
I would love to have an integrated system where customers could pay for an event, but at this stage it's not possible.
You are really asking for 2 things here...
1) Integration between the event module and the ecommerce module.
2) The ability to have extra attributes assigned to a product when purchasing. (zen-cart.com will do this by the way)
To my knowledge, which admittingly is very small at the moment when it comes to drupal, neither are possible.
The ecommerce module is currently under active development and additional attributes is currently being bought in.
Check out drupalecommerce.com for the latest information.
I personally would like to have a text field which the user fills in with maybe a javascript datepicker/calendar that the user can use to populate the field.
I would happily help / fund the development of these two features as it would make drupal very useful to me.
