Multiple sellers, multiple accounts - can Zen do it?

[Robynsveil]

I'm starting a store where I have a number of people who want to sell their 3D content (downloadable files). They would like payment for those items to go to their own PayPal or bank account (direct deposit) instead of all payments for things sold on the site going into one account, to be divided up at some point.
Is this possible?

I had a look at the Drop Ship/Supplier Interface module http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=327 but it doesn't address the payment issue I've described.

Thanks to all who respond....

Easiest way is via Multisite mod in Free AddOns/downloads

There is no concept in Zen Cart of having multiple instances of Paypal pointing to different Paypal accounts depending upon the product supplier. So you would need a different checkout for each supplier. At that point it becomes unclear what would happen if a customer added products from different suppliers to their cart.

Given this, I'm not sure that even the multi-site module recommended by Misty will be able to solve this for you.

It sounds to me as though you would need to build a Mall, where you have a stores for each supplier sitting beneath a common umbrella. I guess you would need to write custom code to extract the products from all of the stores and display them together in the umbrella.

Great info, Kuroi.. was under impression multi mod
allowed for different payment/config options per cart.

It's been a while since I've looked at it, but my vague memory is that it is implemented on single Zen Cart and then allows multiple domains to be pointed to that Zen Cart, and intercepts them to apply for each its own profile of categories and template.

Thank you, everyone, for your prompt replies! Great group you have here. The point raised by Kuroi is valid. I'll have to bring it to the attention of the group - I actually hadn't thought of that. Thanks again for your quick response. I'm impressed with this product's support!
