Thanks Ruth and David, I've had some more clarification. The service being sold will be similar to the concept of online Will production. Here are some example scenarios:
Customers will enter their personal details to go into the Will. When they want a pdf of the Will they will have to pay (e.g. $50 for 1 token). After they have bought their token, they can change their data as much as they want within a fixed time frame (e.g. one year) and recreate the pdf without any extra charge. The customer's social security number is used to identify the Will that the token is assigned to. Companies may also use the service, the more money they spend when buying tokens, the cheaper the tokens. Companies may also have more that one member of staff who can use the tokens. Each token will get allocated the social security number of the main party of the Will when the pdf is first created. The Will data is edited by an external application and the Will data is stored in an external application. The pdf is created by an external service. Ofbiz is required for selling tokens and managing the tokens. Does the above scenario fit any data models and processes existing in ofbiz?
