Reseller Sites

Hi,

I have a site selling my products.

My resellers need a site exactly like mine just with different prices.

Is there a way to create a site which will always be synced with the main site with only price changes?

I tried to look into multisite but it seems not to give that functionality (Or am I wrong?).

Please help,
Thanks,
Avi.

Re: Reseller Sites

There is no sync but at different price functionality nor a module for this

One would have to custom code this and most likely run it at some interval

Re: Reseller Sites

What about stock syncing?

Can I handle 2 or more sites with the same stock?

I mean that if there is X items left of a product and someone buys it from site A, then site B will be updated also that the stock was decreased by 1?

Thanks,
Avi.

Re: Reseller Sites

The multisite mod would probably handle that. If you have two separate sites, you would again need to write custom code and run it at intervals (a cron job could do that automatically).

Re: Reseller Sites

If I am not mistaken the multisite module needs the sites to be on the same server for simplicity
They can be seperate domains or just sub-domains

Re: Reseller Sites

I wasn't saying that the multisite mod could handle two separate installations, but that it would synchronize stock (actually, show stock for the same product) between two sites within its setup. It wouldn't be suitable for independent stores.
