Marketplace and unified basket

[yeh]

Using the marketplace extension, is the following possible:

e.g. if I visit vendor 1 sub site and add a product to basket, I should then be able to visit the default site and/or vendor 2 sub-site and have a unified basket/checkout with all products.

I think there are 1 or possibly two ways to achieve this:

1. Set sitelevel = 3, then prevent customers visiting the sub-sites through redirections to the default site, then handle all basket & checkout on default site.

2. Possible settings/config change to allow unified basket across all sub-sites and main site.

Is option 2 possible or am I completely wrong here?

This won't work because each site has it's own basket and they are not merged. If you are at the "default" site and the products are aggregated from the sub-sites, then the "default" site still has it's own basket but products from the aggregated sub-sites can be added to that basket. Contrary, products added at sub-sites to their own basket are only available there.

1. Set sitelevel = 3, then prevent customers visiting the sub-sites through redirections to the default site, then handle all basket & checkout on default site.

That's the default case and works out of the box (but customers are not redirected on sub-sites because they are usually not linked so it's no problem).

2. Possible settings/config change to allow unified basket across all sub-sites and main site.

There's nothing like that yet but you may use the site code of the "default" site in the URL that adds the product to the basket. Then, all products are always in marketplace basket.

Thanks for the info, I understand how everything works now. I shall probably put some redirections in place and alter the add-to-basket URLs so they add to the default basket. This seems like the best option.

Thanks again
