jeyjoo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi, Does PS1.5 allow multisellers to offer their products within the same website. i.e. Each seller has their own logon and own catalogue to manage. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hey jeyjoo, Yes, this is a function that we will have for the 1.5 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi Benjamin. Is it already available in RC1 or the latest SVN version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeyjoo Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Hey jeyjoo, Yes, this is a function that we will have for the 1.5 version. Great thanks Benjamin. Will it be possible to specify a "shop" type (for example shoe shop and food shop) and have different layout per shop (using say a different CSS prefix for each shop type).

benjamin utterback Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hey jeyjoo. In the upcoming MultiStore option, you will have the opportunity to have difference CSS layouts for each shop type that will be managed from one backoffice. -Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razaro Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi Benjamin, Could you explain bit more this multi-seller feature ? Maybe some combination of specific employee profile, specific category/store for each seller. But what about of features of this module(s) ? Like seller commission...

But just want to check we are taking about the same thing. I woud like 1 website, with say 100 different different businesses logging on to sell their own products, with their own front office/catalogue and profile management.

benjamin utterback Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 With their own front office? I don't understand how that is possible How can one domain have 100's of different front offices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeLocator Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Front-office - each shop can have a private logon to manage their own products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Fedchik Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Front-office - each shop can have a private logon to manage their own products I see You need something more specific, than usual web-shop. You looking for a marketplace solution, so I guess it should be much different from PrestaShop architecture. In the PS1.5.0.15 I didn't find a feachure such "Each seller has their own logon and own catalogue to manage". Actually there are some ways to do such feature, referring seller's account to dedicated catalog, referring to own products in a common catalog, etc... then tracking purchases for each seller, etc... it's require to duplicate a most piece of code, that's why it's better to do from scratch using low-level php framework.

drpython Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 the meaning of MultiStore in RC1 is not the meaning of a total entire mall,but many shops seprated! each shop is separated,don't have a mall interface to integrate them. I think, we really needed is a mall ,with multi shop support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Fedchik Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I still newbie in PrestaShop and spent some time on examination since my last post here. I suggest following scenario: - use Multistore feature - provide a sub-domain for each Office - actually it's a VirtualStore, say socks.supermall.com - set up a permissions for each user on each VirtualStore - set up a sub-category as Root Category on each VirtualStore - set up a common web-store for marketplace (mall), say www.supermall.com Each site can operate separately from sub-domain and all products should ne accessible from www.

TheCoffeeLocator Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Welcome to Prestashop! You scenario sounds possible, though I have the following concerns with this approach: There may be 100's of stores, so new subdomain/ new store creation would have to be automated Some stores may only have 2-3 products, and with 100's of shops, it would be essential to use/call the same underlying PS code/software when generating each shop The "latest products", "categories", "best sellers" e.t.c. would have to consider all shops. So on home page, "latest products" would have to bring in products from all subdomains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Those are some very valid concerns. I will see what kind of information I can pry from some of the developers about theses. I know that one back office can manage multiple domains. Each vendor can have their own logon and own catalog to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a colleague just pointed me at a valid extension for Jooomla 1.4 that may well provide this multi-store functionality http://www.etiendas.co/en/etiendas-prestashop-modules/27-prestashop-multishop-mulltidomain.html It looks pretty powerful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krismb Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 hello, I tested the multi shop 1.5 RC1 and it start working. You can have different URL different design for each shop. Each shop can have their own product with their own price or curency. The things I could n't do is featured product all shop had the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin utterback Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Dear TheCoffee, Just wondering, do you know of any MarketPlace modules that are available for PrestaShop. That seems like a very advanced functionality. hmm Curious, that would be fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razaro Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Benjamin, You seam to missed my question,and tomergs also. There is module Agile multiple seller http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/104232-module-agile-multiple-sellersvendors-module-for-prestashop-14/ and in its description it says Agile Multiple Seller is a PrestaShop module that enable multiple sellers/vendors shares one PrestaShop store/shop. It is a best solution to to create your own market place like eBay, Amazon.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks Razaro, I will edit my post to save my foolishness :-p . As for the details about the MultiSeller/Vendor feature. I really do not have any other than what I've said so far. It will have the capability. As far as the scope and range of the feature set, I'm not sure of.

That seems like a very advanced functionality. hmm Curious, that would be fun though! It seems like a mod that would benefit Prestashop. Creating a market place is far more powerful than a stand alone shop - it opens up a world of possibilities. So far I have come across the two mods mentioned in this thread: Agile module Etiendas (the owner says that it should be PS1.5 compatible) I will be trying both over the next 2 months, so will let you know how that goes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks TheCoffee, this will definitely be looked at to create a mod. I think that having a mod for a market place is definitely a good idea. It's good that we have community mods available but definitely we should look into create our own module. How are those community mods? are they a favorable option for that market place capability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spp_web Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 hi benjamin Whether this feature is added in ps 1.5 stable that each seller can manage its category , product ,order , etc... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are those community mods? are they a favorable option for that market place capability? I havent used them yet, though will over the next month or two. The draw back so far seems to be payments. Currently you can either: Charge each vendor a monthly fee Or charge commission per sale (and commissions can be set on a per vendior basis) But you cannot do a combination of both i.e. where some vendors have a flat monthly fee and others have a commission system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Here is my understanding: The PrestaShop multi-store/multi-shop is based on business model of one owner - multiple stores. It does not for multiple owners and multiple business. My Agile Multiple Seller modules for PrestaShop 1.4 is based business model: multiple owner - One store For PrestaShop 1.5, we are extending our modules to support business model: multiple owner - multiple store We also have some accessory modules to support this business module, like Agile Paypal adaptive payment (Parallel payment). You can find more detail of the module for PrestaShop 1.4 in the forum here. http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/104232-module-agile-multiple-sellersvendors-module-for-prestashop-14/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Maarup Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi - Reg. marketplace! As I see it, 1.5 is so far concerned about one owner / many shops or many owners / many shops. The marketplace function - One shop, (one main-owner/manager) / many sellers / many buyers seems not to have been in mind. However, this should not be a big task to create. I´m sure that this "E-bay lie" concepts would appeal to a broad audience. Of course something could be put together as it is now, by ordinary users, but there are a few vital things that needs to be changed. Creating your user profile, must be ease, (no problem here) but especially creating a product must be a simple task. They will not need all the features a viable now. Just like E-bay. few clicks and the product is on. Also.. showing geographic distance between seller and buyer should be an easy option. I´m sure some add-on skilled people are working on this concept ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My next version of Agile Multiple Seller/Vendor module (which is under development) will implement the eBay like concept. Sellers can list his/her products on main store. Sellers can also open eBay store with multi-store multi-shop function of PrestaShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shokinro Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Thanks for your inquiry. Not final release of the module yet, will release it after PS1.5 final release. But it has been used for one site already and it is developed under PS 1.5.0.13 If you are interested, I can create a demo site for you to check it out.
