Multi shop/Multi Boutique and franchises/independent payments per shop

[dkb]

Hi,

 

I am trying to fully understand what multi shop option can and can't accomplish.

I need shops for several franchises with mainly shared products, a shared theme/layout, but their own clients and their own payments, thus requiring some form of access control so only the owners (administrators) of each shop can see their sales, clients and payments.  

I think from what I have read this is possible to fence out clients but am not sure about payments going only to each specific shop.  And from an admin point of view, the individual shop admin can login in to the single administration, yet only view their shop ? Have I understood correctly that this possible with multistore 1.7?

 

kindly

you have it 'almost' understood, modules can be by 'shop' so that is solved but there is no fencing of individual admins to see only their shop, this would require a 'marketplace' module, see addon's.

Thanks for your reply El Patron,  so essentially it is possible, just not "out of the box".  Payment modules can be done per shop, problem solved there.  Groups refers to only frontend (shop clients) then and doesn't involve all users (admin and clients), as I had understood (or can have as many groups as necessary but remember group’s settings only apply to the shops that are inside it and you can only have a shop associated with one group --> http://www.prestawebdeveloper.com/the-guide-to-setup-prestashop-multi-store-in-versions-1-6-1-7/ ).  So this is solved using a marketplace addon and thus my objectives can be attained.

do a very thorough review of the marketplace module features, contact the dev via addons for any questions.  also look at other ecms to see how they support this type of feature.  

here is search for marketplace
