Implementing multi vendor magento site. Need help of product table structure for multiple vendors

[punam_fadte]

We have a requirement for multi-vendor magento site. We need to develop custom module for this. - Seller can add his own products (simple and configurable) - Seller can sell existing product by adding his own sku, price and quantity. We are planning to make one entry in entity product table and then maintain separate entries for stock and price for each vendor. But then sku is different for each vendor. Should we be creating multiple simple products with vendor as a attribute?

Let try with our magento marketplace extension it fits with your requirements http://www.vnecoms.com/magento-marketplace/ The select and sell feature is developed as sub-plugins. It create multiple simple products for each vendor each product will have an attribute called vendor_id so you can assign the product for vendor easily.

Yes it would be the easieast to create a vendor attribute on product, duplicate the simple product multiple times and  assign different vendors to different one.

You can also add it as hidden attribute and aasign vendor to the product automatically using a catalog_product_save_before observer, assuming vendors will create products themself.
