custom user roles & checkout flow

[theo_p]

Hi, i want to do some customizations & would like to know your thoughts on a few items:

Catalogue

• Multiple suppliers
• Bulk product import
• Different products should be available based on region of buyer

Custom role-based Users

• Company users
• Buyer
• Manager
• Store admin

Workflow

• Buyer purchases items using standard cart/check-out process
• At point of purchase, order is sent to manager for approval
• Manager approves purchase, purchase is completed, CC is charged, order is submitted to all suppliers

Hi @theo_p,

I think you can get it with Magento but not using the platform as-is.

It seems you're looking for a mix between marketplace and B2B. Right?

Hello @theo_p,

There is one extension Multi User account which fulfill your requirement.

There is some below features which is required for your store.

• Multi-User Account- A Magento customer account can have multiple sub-user accounts
• Order Viewing- Account owner can set sub-users to see only their order history or all orders
• Viewing Cart– Set sub-user to be able to view/not view cart. Account owner can see sub-user’s cart.
• Cart Options- Admin users can set if sub-users share or do not share a shopping cart
• Order Permissions- Choose which sub-user can manage orders
• Order Approval- Require sub-admin users to request order approval from the account owner.

Please take a look on demo before buying extension.

Hi @theo_p

I think a marketplace business model can help you out. With the multi-seller functionality, you can have multiple suppliers in your site. There are plugins available that automates the management of multiple vendors and bulk product import.
