Restricted Products

Store owner needs to have a set of products that require a prescription be uploaded before the product can be shipped. I need to dig because I seem to remember I've worked on a site that has the ability to upload required documents as part of the account creation process. It made me wonder if something similar could be done for a product, maybe through a product attribute?

For clarification, are you referring to human prescriptions or pet? You should absolutely not deploy such a setup for human prescriptions, you'd create a multitude of HIPAA/PII issues. And, from what I've seen recently on some sites, not for anything that could contain PII at all, such a pet prescriptions, because the uploads will inevitably be mishandled by whomever thought it was a good idea at the time. I would look for something specific to the task, or a third party service built to handle such a concept that the store integrates with via API to set up the upload specific to each order.

We have done this for human's as well in a compliant way but it's not a casual project. And they did the upload and management through NetSuite and then the approval from NetSuite would allow shopping in Miva.
