hi Guys,
the last time we had some TShirts sponsored, I asked for who wanted it - and had to parse emails coming in, match sizes, check postage issues and email followups to people. It wasent easy, and took a fair bit of time. And in the end, I had to limit emails down to only those people who actually got Tshirts sent to them.
For the 70 odd Tshirts I had, there were 500+ requests.
We are going to be getting some more TShirts in the next few days - and this time they are split between two designs, and multiple colours and different sizes (ofcourse). It would be great if there was some s/w that could be installed on one of our machines that would allow us to add the tshirt quantities and sizes and colours in, and then let people essentially check-out.
The shirts are sponsored, the postage + packaging isnt. So people would still need to come up with a bit of money ( it should be quite nominal ).
I'm also talking to someone locally about sponsoring beer and coffee mugs and a few other things ( its essentially what they do - make glassware for large brands ). So this might be an ongoing thing.
So, my questions : is there anyone who can help with the online admin side of things ? is there any recommended software that we can use ?[1]
regards,

[1]: I did think of a github repo, and ask people to merge request and do it in that way, but that has no way for people to find out if their size / colour / style is available and also most people would not want their postal address and contact details in a public repo.

Wouldn't any shopping cart work for this purpose?

What are the chances you might be willing ( and have a bit of time ) to setup one of these and help with that side of things ? I've never looked at / into anything of this nature before and really dont have the time to do so right now.

Hi KB, I'll have a go if you don't mind. Only just saw your email now. I've never setup any of these though I imagine it won't be much different to the usual web app setup.

Excellent, and thanks!
I've got a VM earmarked for this, lets sync up on irc/offlist email and get a suiteable hosting resource setup and we can take it from there.

I haven't recently looked into those carts either :) Unless someone with more/any shopping cart experience wants to step up I'll be happy to set one up. Will follow up with you offline.

There are some problems with hosting company, so that site is at the moment inaccessible.
