Multi vendor shopping solution without price and payment with auto login

Hello,

Could you please tell me if it is possible to create multi vendor shopping solution without price and payment with HikaMarket Multi-vendor? This shopping cart will only be accessible to the company staff members.

The company has different regions and each region will have access to the website with a different URL.

For example:
region1.domain.com,
region2.domain.com,
region3.domain.com etc…

and each region has a unique store ID. For example
if you are accessing the website with "region1.domain.com" URL the STORE ID would be REG1
and if you are accessing the website with "region2.domain.com" URL the STORE ID would be REG2 and so on.

Could you please let me know if we can achieve the following

1. Add products without price
2. Display the store ID on the cart page based on the URL
3. User can add products to the cart and proceed to checkout with automatic login, based on the store ID which is based on the region URL (User must not login manually)
4. Checkout without payment
5. After the checkout an email should be sent to each vendor with store ID and list of the products.

Hi Jerome, thank you very much for your reply,

Instead of using "JMS Multisites"  can we use "Virtual Domains"?

Regarding Automatic login and Store ID#

I don't think guest checkout is good enough because we need the user to be able to check the order history.

So let me to try to explain little bit more what we want to do. First of all no registration is allowed on the website, all the users will be create manually by the admin.

each user created by the admin will have the username as the Store id.
For example
username1 = store1
usenamer2 = store2

So for example if a user visits the website with the following url region1.domain.com/index.php?id=store1
Is it possible to grab the id "store1" from the URL and maybe put it in a session, and then make the visitor to login automatically based on this id. Because we already have a registerd user with this username.

Could please let me know if we can achieve something similar?

Thank you

Hello Jerome,

Security is not a big concern, because this website is not for public use. Only certain computers have access to this website within the company.

Could anyone please direct me to any tutorial or a post where I can get some basic ideas how to do this??

Thank You guys

Thank you Jerome for providing this information,

sorry i have one more question. is it possible to send the order to an email address based on the URL variable?

for example: if a user is accessing the website from this URL domain.com/index.php?regionid=123&storeid=1
after checkout send the list of the products to this email ( region-123@doamin.com) based on the regionid,

and if a different user access the website with different region id for example domain.com/index.php?regionid=145&storeid=2
then send the product list to this email address region-145@doamin.com

is it possible to change part of the email address based on the regionid

for example do to something similar:

if (isset($_GET[regionid])) {
$regionid = $_GET[regionid];

$regionEmail = region-$regionid@doamin.com;
}

Hi Jerome,

I will try to explain more. So we have one main vendor and this vendor is divided in to 10 different regions, and each region has different email address.
if a purchase is made within the region 1 then the email needs to be send to region 1. If a purchase is made within region 2 then the email needs to be sand to region 2.
We use URL parameters to distinguish the difference between the regions.
For example: /index.php?regionid=123 and /index.php?regionid=145

Based on the URL parameters can we send emails to a vendor who has more than one emaill address?

Thank you

Jerome thank you for getting back to me,

Can we somehow send emails to different administrators based on the url parameters, when a purchase is made?

Thank you

Jerome Thank you, I do apologise if i ask to many questions.

Could you please confirm, to send the order invoice manually to selected emails, I need to create new plugin? or i can do it in a view?

Hello,

I have been trying to create a simple plugin. I am not a PHP developer and I understand that this might be bad way of doing things but i ask if you could direct me to the right direction.
Do you think there is something i can improve with this coding?

I am trying to send order invoice to different email addresses based on the url variable named "region"

<?php

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><?php
class plgHikashopManualMailSend extends JPlugin {

	function __construct(&$subject, $config){
		parent::__construct($subject, $config);
		if(!isset($this->params)){
			$plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin('hikashop', 'ManualMailSend');
			if(version_compare(JVERSION,'2.5','<')){
				jimport('joomla.html.parameter');
				$this->params = new JParameter($plugin->params);
			} else {
				$this->params = new JRegistry($plugin->params);
			}
		}
	}


	function onBeforeMailSend(&$mail,&$mailer) {

		$session = JFactory::getSession();
		$fhalf    = "remerch";
		$shalf    = "@domain.co.uk";
		$regionId = $session->get('region');      
		$regEmail = $fhalf.$regionId.$shalf;

		function sendMail(&$mail){
				if(!empty($mail->dst_email)){
					$this->mailer->addRecipient($regEmail);
				}

				$result = $this->mailer->Send();
				if(!$result || !empty($result->message)) {
					$this->mail_success = false;
				}
				if(!empty($result->message)) {
				}

				return $result;
		}
	}
}

function onBeforeMailSend(&$mail,&$mailer) {

		if(!empty($mail->dst_email)){
			$mailer->addRecipient($regEmail);
		}


		$result = $mailer->Send();
			if(!$result || !empty($result->message)) {
				$mail_success = false;
		}
		if(!empty($result->message)) {
		}

		return $result;

	}

Hi Jerome, Yes I understand and I want to say Thank You for your time and support, I know I have asked to many questions. Thank You again.

Actually I am not in a position where I can hire HikaShop developer, otherwise I would not be here.

Is there any other user in this forum can maybe provide little assistant?

Thank you guys
