• hi guys, got a customer that needs the following… not sure how to approach it… any ideas

    customer wants web shop in uk with stock (warehouse), then she wants an extra 4 shop fronts in 4 different countries, each using the country code. eg… “.se,.de” etc. These shop should not have a pysical warehouse but shop work together with the uk shop and warehouse? i was thinking …multisite mayde using sub domains, then redirect the real domain name to the subdomains. How about the warehouse bit? can this be done setting the shops up as catalogue or virtual shops?

    any ideas
    thanks barry

    Multisite with mapped domains is the easy part.

    The hard part is sharing the content for the warehouses :/ Multisite uses separate data tables for each blog.

    Thanks for the help, do you think a catalogue shop system would be a better for this job, with just one shop running a warehouse

    It really depends on how you need to integrate and share data. I think this is something that could be done on WP, but that wouldn’t be my first choice unless you have a real DB guru on staff to write a custom plugin that pulls the data to all sites.

    Theory:

    The ‘stock’ is handled by the network admin. They add what can be added. All this is on one set of tables in the DB, for the whole network (kind of like user info – wp_storeitems and wp_storeitemsmeta)

    Each ‘store’ selects what items in the stock they provide (so you dont’ sell illegal things ?? ). This stock culls the data from that network DB we came up with before, and checks things like ‘how many are left’. Thus every site gets the same amount.

    When someone makes an order, it updates the storemeta information and triggers whatever else needs doing.
