Now I am getting little bit better picture. I made a mistake in my previous post.
1. cookies to be sold through cookies.com and dvds to be sold through dvds.com owned by a same owner. 2. cookies.com should not show dvds and vice-versa 3. And 2 separate catalogs for cookies.com and dvds.com 4. how "affiliate / partner" work in ofbiz Thanks again --- On Tue, 10/7/08, Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: multiple hot-deployment web site applications To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 3:15 AM comments inline... my au wrote: > Thanks again for your time. > > > If I am correctly understanding from Ray's comment, it is possible to setup 2 catalogs for say > Cookies.com > dvds.com > > and sell cookies through one site dvds through the another one. Where cookies.com customers can may buy dvds from dvds.com without registering again with dvds.com.

Correct. Again as BJ mentioned the catalog manager application does provide some control level against admin logins so you can restrict access to a degree but the rest of the order, accounts, stock etc are not separated. > > 1.

If there are door-to-door (affiliates) sales people for cookies.com, dvds.com, Is it possible to manage thier accounts online like seeing their sales, payment etc without seeing other affiliate's info ? Don't think there are any existing screens and reports for this but I believe the basic structure is available in the system to allow set up and tracking of affiliates, but it's not an area I've touched on.
