Hi everyone, I tried tried tried, looked elsewhere for a solution to make a base foundation for a marketplace engine based on solidus, so I tried extending it but I didn't see any point of extension that respond to my need, I know this is a vague message, I don't want to make another fork knowing that like what's mentioned in the solidus website that making a marketplace with it is doable. so my question is this "What points of extension I need to worry about knowing that I prefer starting a centralized shared catalog as amazon did for example".

Thank you in advance

Hello all, I'm trying integrate the solidus_marketplace extension with Stripe Connect. I've had a look at a couple examples here and here but both are not quite what I need. I'd like it set up so each Supplier would have their own connected account and funds are automatically distributed to them when they receive an order. It would also need to work for cases where an order has more than one supplier. Looking at the Stripe docs this seems fairly straightforward but I'm new to solidus (and rails) so I'm struggling to get it set up. Has anyone got any pointers?

Hi All, my name is Jon and I launched a new marketplace two years ago called https://goimagine.com We are actively looking into modernizing our marketplace platform with Solidus. I look forward to getting more involved in the community.

Hello everyone. I posted this question in the #support channel but maybe here you can give me a better idea on how to build it. My name is Leandro and I’m choosing an e-commerce platform to develop a Marketplace. I have the following requirements: • I already have an application in Vue.js (which is linked to my proprietary web SaaS - nothing to do with eComm) and I would like to add a headless e-commerce solution to this website. • The frontend will be completely developed by our team in Vue.js. • The application will be a marketplace. And my partners (which will have the stores in there) will sell through my marketplace will upload their brand and product details, such as: logo, description, product photos, product descriptions, etc. ◦ Question about product description? Can I’ve a metadata here? Or a field where I add an extra information? • IMPORTANT: My SaaS offer 4 different plans: Free, Monthly, Yearly, or Business, plus a regular visitor, a Guest. And my partners will give different perks to my clients, depending on my client’s plan. These 5 profiles (Guest, Free, Monthly, Yearly, or Business) will see different prices and different bonuses ◦ For example. Prices from Partner A, Product X for: ▪︎ Guest: see normal price, $ 100. ▪︎ Free: see normal price, $ 100 and it gets a PDF as a perk. ▪︎ Montly: see normal price + price with a discount, $100 (-10%) = $ 90. ▪︎ Yearly: see normal price + price with a discount, $100 (-30%) = $ 70. ◦ Another example. Prices from Partner B, Product Y for: ▪︎ Guest: see normal price, $ 100. ▪︎ Free: see normal price + price with a discount, $100 (-5%) = $ 95. ▪︎ Montly: see normal price + price with a discount, $100 (-10%) = $ 90 + get an eBook. ▪︎ Yearly: see normal price + price with a discount, $100 (-20%) = $ 80 + 30min one-on-one call with the expert valued at $ 150. ◦ So I’ll need to show all these differences throughout the website based on the user’s plan on my Vue.js app. Question for you guys: can I use the open-source solution and easily have the combination price / bonus / user type in a marketplace? Or would this mean a lot of work? How much work do you think it would take from my development team to do this personalisation? Plus, can I add to the Basket Preview and Checkout page the feature to show to different users different results? I.e., to a Guest user the system would show that if he/she upgrades to our Monthly subscription plan to my SaaS it would get $ 25 discount in this purchase. And if he/she chooses the Yearly plan it would get $ 32 discount + 30min one-on-one call with the expert valued at $ 150. Something like that… In short, I would like to be able to retrieve the perks/bonuses at any time so I can show to each user a different thing. In your experience, can I create this marketplace with the open-source version? Thank you in advance.

In short, which marketplace extension/plugin do you recommend?
