We utilized a dual-site installation (root and sub-domain) to support retail and wholesale functionality. Most of the effort came in creating a new Theme that incorporated our design. We're still tweaking a few things and finding some previous theme artifacts, but getting there. Revenue is up and the affiliate/wholesale network is growing. I'm ready for my next project, contact me if you have a store that is ready to be built out.
