Sharing Shopping Cart across multiple Stores in OFbiz

[Naveen Kumar B V]

Hi,

   In our business scenario, we have configured two Stores in the front end,
i.e., we have two different applications configured as Stores in the front
end.
We know that each store can have its own shopping cart where products can be
added into it and checked it.

Can we configure the app in such a way that the Shopping Cart should be
shared across multiple stores? When a customer visits the application he
should be able to
shop in multiple stores and the products added in one store should be
available (i.e, should be seen) in other stores also.
How can this be achieved?

Regards,
Naveen Kumar B.V

if you have the same company that  owns the websites then you can look
at the clone of eccomerce. this uses the same code but the cart, for a
customer will not move between websites, without customization.

IF they are different Companies that own the Websites then look at the
multitenant. This has same code but different DB. this would take
different customization to move the cart between sites.

Hello Freeman,

    Thanks for your reply.
   Yes it is the first case. The same company holds multiple stores in the
website, and the shopping cart has to be shared across multiple stores.
Its like a customer can log into any one of the store and start adding
products to the cart. And when he switches among the stores, the products
added in any of the stores should be visible in any of the available stores,
so that he can check out from any store, at the point he stops shopping.

 How can this be achieved? Does the current OFBiz implementation provide
this functionality. Or if we have to do any customizations, can you please
throw some light in this aspect, and help me in understanding where to
start how to go about doing it?

 Regards,
Naveen Kumar B.V

You'd probably be much better off building the solution about multiple catalogs within a single store rather than multiple stores.

Hi Scott,

     That would be a smart go :) :), and yes we do have multiple catalogs in
a store, and need to get it working with multiple stores and multiple
catalogs in them. And above all share the shopping cart. Can we achieve it?
If its possible how can we do it?
Thanks for your reply.
