Thanks BJ. It's more clear now. With this shipping issue in mind, is it possible to configure OFBiz so that each Dropshippers inventory (A separate "Catalog") is it's own "store" (so accurate shipping rules are possible), with it's own, top-level path. Example
http://10.2.10.61:8080/ecommerce/store1 = (dropshippers 1 inventory) http://10.2.10.61:8080/ecommerce/store2 = (dropshippers 2 inventory) But tie all of the above into a main store (http://10.2.10.61:8080/ecommerce), where you could do global searches, etc. I'm wondering how it would work when it comes to checkouts. Does each "store" have it's own independent shopping cart? Or does it make more sense to have an initial entry point where you jump from store to store.
