If it sounds dumb, maybe you should search for a better sounding cash register noise ;)

Seriously though, it would be awesome if you all of a sudden you had a surge of sales and your computer made as much noise as a slot machine hitting a jackpot.

Lol, the affiliate application I'm making plays a beep for alerts, the main type of alert being extra commission earned. I suggested to my cofounder that we change the beep volume depending on the size of commission.

I actually recently set up something similar. I use opengateway with authorize.net and it will post to a url during a transaction. I have it post to a local server, that plays a specific .wav file depending on the transaction type.

There are 5 transaction types and I use a slot machine, cash register, bells, and crowd cheering noises.

Got the idea from this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1251757/

dumb? I think it is brilliant

When Amazon was just getting started they had a bell strung up to ring whenever they got a sale. You're in good company.
