Hezyz, You Rock ... way to go man.
thanks for sharing.

hi

hezyz

good work thnx , can we add vendor category map ? i mean to say that mainly web site categorys navigation show all vendors producst when we click , if we click any vendor name from the vendor list front site shows products only from vendor which we clicked but category navigatison still show all products from all vendors  if we click after choice anyvendor,


1. maybe better to make category vendor support ? if customer click any vendor name , category navigation must show only category names which producst has mapped from the clicked vendor , and if customer click on category names , categorys must show only product from the clicked chosen vendor. category navigation and products can be resetted if customer enter again to default page and if we make like this every vendor can have own site in the site with own categorys :)

for example like this site demo :  http://www.ilance.ca/x/d/f/stores

i have created new front site idea for vendors on codeplex

Hi,

No. You'll have to customize the solution to achieve it.

Nice hezyz!

@Andrei: maybe hezyz' fork (the vendor navigation part in frontend) could be merged in to the v3.0 release?

I don't think that this functionality should be available out of the box, at least not in version 3.00. But the work item is already created. Please vote

@hezyz

i tested your demo code on site http://demo.online-ex.com

but in the admin area i see that version 2.80 , your multivendor site 3.0 or 2.8 ?

Hi Dennis: Will this be handled by Payment Director and something alike for shipping (configurable shipping methods/charges by) by Shipping Director? In this case it wouldn't mind that each vendor would have to provide their API Keys/Passwords/etc

I'm using the same payment method with each of the vendors.
I work with a credit card terminal send them the card details once they response with a token which is valid for short time.
I send this token with the vendor charge terminal details for each vendor.

I have change the placeOrder method which gets a list of vendors and separate the cart items by the vendors, then loop all vendors and their items

if u want to  a different payment for each vendor, a separated checkout needed. I have considered that, however I guess its annoying for the end user.

hope the code will be done by next we
