Payment Zones

Hello I am working with a client that has a requirement for Hikashop Business and I am not sure what to do with it.

We have installed joomla and the virtual domains plugin as well as hikashop business. So what has been set up to happen is that product display is controlled by menu selection which is restricted by what domain the user has entered from. This was done because the customer has two separate companies but wanted a single interface for managing their website.

The problem that I have come across in meeting with them today is that each company has their own payment accounts. So for example Zink Calls & Avian-X exist within one install, but have two separate authorize.net and two separate Paypal accounts.

So what I need to be able to accomplish is to possibly have payment zones configured so when checking out products from category #1 the payment options from zone #1 are available, and when checking out from category #2 the payment options from category #2

The other potential issue I see is that if the customer goes from one site to another without clearing the cart, the cart items would carry over so we would have to have a warning popup if exiting one site promoting the user to save their cart or delete the items.

Nothing like a little complex issue to brighten my day! If we dont have the ability to do this already built into hikashop, I have already advised the client that this may be a custom modification that would have a cost associated with it and I would need a recommendation for a developer that is qualified enough in hikashop to make these modifications.

Thanks
