(NEW) vendors tools on extreme off road

**muddog** · 05-04-2011, 02:32 PM

Everyone understands how to set up a online store. Im working on a way where our vendors can set up there own mini store and sell there products through extreme off road.

You set up and list your products and all orders go directly to you. Its kinda like a eBay store but its not auctions just straight for sale.

Anyway if there's any vendors here that would like a outlet to sell there products and help me test at the same time. that will be great. Please pm or reply here thanks.

Im not good at explaining but once you see it. you will understand better.

Sounds like an awesome option to have. It may be something to contact Willie "mrmanners" about, he handles stuff like the filter packs, etc. He, would probably be willing to test the set up of your system!

Sounds like a program we are using here called microcart.

Im not familiar with microcart. My goal is to kind of have it like a flea market kind of.

We have the classifieds for members so this is going to be geared toward vendors only. I have it compatible with pay-pal but want to ad a few of the other payment gate ways. Then it doesn't really have a cart integrated and Im not sure how I would do that so the orders would go to the each member.

I want to keep it so that vendors could add / delete / change there items quickly.

Sense most already have a store online I was thinking they could use it to show off new products or specials.

mrmanners if you are interested in trying it out let me know and I will make the link available for you.

Im also working so that random products will be displayed on the front of the site and eventually at the top of the forum.

I think the best way to set that up the way you want when it comes to each individual vendor's product purchases would be to have them go to their respective Paypal accounts and create one of the Paypal "Buttons" that links to their account. Then when they post an item they would simply use that button as a part of the posting for purchasing the product. This would eliminate the need for you to do anything fancy with your site for that. They would be able to create their listings in their section and ensure that the payments would go through to their Paypal merchant account.

Sounds good let me talk with Mark so I don't step on his toes.

Thats kinda the way I did it only I made it simpler. when you create your listing there's a place to enter your paypal id (I think its just your email) or what ever. this way your right all orders go through the vendor. The only controls I will actualy have is to approve or disapprove the listing other wise I have no control over it.

Im looking for a way to auto approve the listings of vendors and kick back any others so I dont have to do it manually. It shouldn't be hard I just havent made it that far yet.

I think I have it about as simple as can be. this way everything is on the vendors side and I dont have to do anything.

LOL my inspiration really was the flea market I make the space available and thats it.

My toes are pretty tough. lol

**muddog** · 05-05-2011, 02:26 PM

LOL Iv never been accused of being to bright. I thought each of you was over a different product. IE oil / filters/ and soon

**mrmanners** · 05-05-2011, 05:28 PM

Not really. We are all AMSOIL dealers. I have also established myself as a performance parts supplier too. Let me talk it over with Mark this weekend and let ya know but I am game.
