I am wondering how best to handle this;
We are starting to work with someone who will handle fulfillment of our products in their territory.
So they will keep stock, do the shipping and take the money when there is a sale from their area.
Otherwise we are both selling the same products, same pricing etc.
So, two ideas come to mind;
1. Install a second secpay payment module and setup the zone so that when a customer from
a certain area makes a purchase the payment goes through our partner's merchant account.
The only problem then is that we still get all the order confirmations, so splitting out just some and
forwarding them is an admin hassle.
Solution 2; Install a new zencart as a clone of the existing store and running on the SAME database.
Is this possible? If so are there any potential problems doing that?
(The beauty of this would be that all correspondence for those customers / sales could go to the person operating that territory
and it would be easy to setup different shipping options and the look of the store could be catered a bit to those customers etc.)
Many Thanks,
trillian
