b2b/b2c module

Post by mrmmc8 » 25 Dec 2020, 03:36

does the b2b/b2c module support different function and selling options?

for example

a shoe retailer can sell on the retail marketplace to consumer, while a shoe wholesaler/manufacturer can sell shoes to retailer in a separate marketplace or feeds to businesses only?

Yes, sellers can be also customers and vice versa. You should create two segment marketplaces like

- global marketplace
-- customer marketplace
--- vendor 1
--- vendor 2
--- ...
-- wholesale marketplace
--- wholesaler 1
--- wholesaler 2
--- ...

The only limitation is that a wholesaler can't be a vendor in the customer marketplace and vice versa with the same account (they need two due to the structure of the marketplace tree).

You can also put everything in one marketplace if you don't mind that wholesalers and merchants may be mixed up and clients will try to buy from wholesalers too. For different pricing, you can use our customer/group extension so wholesalers can add different prices for end users and merchants. The merchants need to be assigned to that group or groups to get the lower prices.

assume if only merchant would be able to access the wholesale marketplace the only solution is to setup a separate one?
