What is multi cart?

What is multi cart and how do I set it up in business?

Hi,

As it's said in the documentation :

Enable multi carts: The multi-carts allow the users to have many carts, by this way, they can create as cart as they want, and save them.

A customer can have multiple carts, so he can bundle one, and come back later to retrieve his previous created cart.

To enable this feature, you just have to go in Configuration > Features and enable multi cart.

I have a client who has distributors in several countries. Each distributor needs to have their own cart and the orders separated by distributor so they can fulfill the orders for their own geo-areas. Would the multiple carts be used for this? Or, would a separate website with a different Hikashop install be needed?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

We have the market extension, but how dan we set it up so each vendor has his own shopping cart?
e.g. if a customer shops and put item 1, 3 and 4 of vendor A in his shopping cart. He decides to continue shopping, and see product 5, 7 and 8 of vendor B and puts it in the cart. But this may not be in 1 cart together but need two seperate carts one for vender A and B ect.
How can i configure that?
Hope you understand my question..
Thanks.

Is it possible, that when customer switches from vendor listing that his cart will empty automaticly?
e.g. when customer select 3 items of vendor A and when he goes to vendor B his cart will be emptied so in that way he see that he only can buy at one vendor at the time??

Oke,
But how can we set it then, that the customer goes to a cart only for that particular vendor, now all products stay in cart of vendor A but when looking at products of vendor B they can not put anything in the cart. ??

Hello,

I can understand that it is brutal to clean the cart switching vendor, but how can we make it possible that it cleans the cart ??
We need that function otherwise it is to confusing for our customers.

Hope you can help..
Thanks
