-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0
-- HikaMarket version -- : 1.6.6
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.6

Can you confirm whether this is possible/feasible and if so point me to some documentation to help get Hikamarket setup in this way.

Requirement:
Shop for multiple vendors, each vendor will require their own checkout/payment

Customers should not be limited to only putting items from a single vendor in their cart, ie if they try to purchase a second item from a new vendor, it should either be added to the cart or a new cart associated with that customer created.

A live example of what is required can be seen at global.rakuten.com/en/ this opens a new cart with its own associated checkout for each vendor as items are selected.

Alternatively, is it possible to add multiple vendors to a single cart and then force multiple passes through the checkout to deal with each vendor in turn?

Am able to write the necessary plugins to achieve this, but before starting need to understand which is the best approach.

Hi,

That is currently not possible the way you describe it in HikaMarket 1.x + HikaShop 2.x ; but it is planned to be possible in the future.
With HikaShop 3.x ; the checkout & cart system will be refactored and it will allow HikaMarket to have more feature for the cart management (and also the checkout).

Thanks to that, HikaMarket would be able to refuse the addition of a product into the cart and add it in another cart instead (more easily than with the current cart system).
It will also allow HikaMarket to have specific checkout workflow per vendor.

So with current version of HikaShop/HikaMarket ; the best is to use an adaptive payment method and the "shipping per vendor".
The customer will be able to choose one shipping method per vendor and complete his checkout.
Thanks to the adaptive payment method, all vendors will be pay in the same time (with one single transaction).
Otherwise, you have to activate the vendor limitation in the cart ; but when a customer will try to add a product from another vendor, it will just refuse the addition and it won't place the product in another cart. It could be possible to modify HikaMarket to do so but with the arrival of HikaShop 3, I think the best is to way a little bit.

Hi,

We're looking for the same feature - multiple checkouts from same cart - in the shop myjola.dk
So I would like to ask if there are any news about Hikashop 3 - as to a estimated launchdate?

Best regards Henrik

Hi,

For HikaShop 3, the Alpha is still available and a beta is on this way.
But it will be easier to post in the HikaShop section of the forum to get details about HikaShop.
