12/02/2022, 6:36 AMHi. I’m looking for some guidance. I’m currently working on a solution for a client which the marketplace use case seems perfect for. The client however has multiple markets where the vendors can sell their products. Is this something that would be possible using Solidus?

maybe someone more experienced can chime in, but I think it could be possible to set it up by having a unified vendor panel (Solidus Admin) through which they could manage their products and select at which markets to open a stand
the individual markets could then get the products via API calls (using Solidus API)
