Zencart and Multisite for creating a mall
This is about a proposed site that would operate like a "mall". Looking around it looks like Zencart with the Multisite module might do most or all of what I want. Basically, I am going to create a niche site then invite certain merchants to sell related wares there. Each seller must have their own merchant account. I would collect revenue based on actual sale.
This could be done by simply setting up a Zencart for each store owner but it looks like multisite would make it easier. I would be overall admin. so I have access to each store. Each merchant would only have access to their own store. I would like to control the look and feel so hopefully I could restrict some of the page layout access but this is not super critical.
There would be some split from each sale, either a flat dollar amount or percent. The most desirable would be a split that could automatically be charged to the store owner's merchant account periodically although it could be done as a part of each sale. However, as long as the amount could be accumulated in Zencart, the billing could be handled in some other way.
I'm pretty sure I could do this with just multiple Zencart installs. Would most of it possible in Zencart with Mutlsite?
