Hi;

We are creating a social networking website, where each member should have the opportunity to set up & manage his/her own store. There could be thousands of stores & administrators, who should obviously have rights to only their store, which should be set up automatically.

I know there are Multi-store add-ons to zen cart, but I don't know how they work.

We have our own PHP developers, we can make modifications to the code; the question is does Zen Cart support multiple storefronts in a single installation, and then assigning individual storefronts to individual administrators?

Another "nice to have" feature would be like a superstore, that presented all the products in the "Virtual Mall", from all the stores, but kept track of which product came from which store in the shopping cart, so the individual store owners could be compensated appropriately.

Does that make sense? Would that be a big deal for us to add this functionality?

Thanks for any info/feedback.

Chris
