We need to do the following:

• We need to create a place where suppliers will display & sell products that stores can buy from. Stores will then sell it on to the public. So this is when the products they buy from suppliers will end up in their Woocommerce inventory list rather than disapear like a normal order.
• The suppliers will ‘maintain’ a list of pricing groups that stores fall into. Some stores will get different pricing to others.
• This is where stores will almost import the products from the supplier without having to create them. Once the store has the products from the supplier in their Woocommerce inventory they can easily order more of the same them as they require.
• A management interface will be required here.

For this we imagine using WordPress, Woocommerce, Multisite and other plugins as required. We need assistance as to the design of the system and best approaches & plugins. We’ve done tons of research but will need further help. We need to answer questions like:

• Should we use the Multisite?
• Can we create all the stores and their staff programmatically?
• Are there existing plugins that do what we need?

I believe this community is the best place to ask these questions. Would any of you folks be able to help us answer these questions?

Thank you
