Can I Combine Customers into 1 large order?

[musgod]

I am building a site for a buying club where multiple customers will be putting in combined orders. Is there a way for me to have multiple customers login and place orders separately, then later combine into one larger order?

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a

The only way is for you to determine what belongs together and manually combine them

Are the combined orders all shipped to the same place? Do you know who the group is in advance?

All the orders would be shipped to the same place. It's a buying club where I would like for individuals to be able to log in individually but where I can have a combined look at 1 group order.

Example: Group A
Tom - Apples - 5 lbs - $1
Joe - Apples - 10 lbs - $2
Ann - Apples - 20 lbs - $4

Group A Order - Apples - 35 lbs - $7

You would need to set signup to being approved and create groups to assign them to.

Print all group "a" open orders out and combine them and this will be your combined order
