Re: [Rails] Re: user stores - how to setup in theory

[Ahsan Naqvi]

Hi Tom,

If I am understanding you correctly you are trying to build an ecommerce 
service. The software architecture will be different than the single 
store. In broad strokes you will need


A Store Model with attributes: Name, Username, Password Hash, Payment 
Processor, any other relevant information about store. Store will also 
have many  products, carts and orders


Update Product Model so that it belongs to Store by adding store_id 
attribute


Update Cart Model to belong to Store

Update Order Model to belong to Store

Add corresponding controllers and views for signing up and creating new 
stores.


Add admin controllers and admin views to allow store owners to CRUD 
products, orders etc.


Add mailers and other functionality helpful for store owners.

It will be an involved process, and you will discover and learn quite alot.

Another option would be to take the system you currently have and run 
its multiple instances for each store owner. You can add their payment 
processor and other unique information manually or write a script which 
will automate the process.


Good luck,
Ahsan

Re: [Rails] Re: user stores - how to setup in theory

[tom]

hi

nothing would prevent me from storing their keys, assuming they woudl give
it. i was just wondering if i really need their keys or if their
'paypal-email address' would be enough to redirect the buyer to the right
paypal store...or a specific url - again not sure.

thx all

Some processors offer a solution that to let you attach to other user's 
payment accounts securely - Stripe Connect is one such 
service: https://stripe.com/connect

Paypal may have something similar.

OK. You've implemented a payment process using those.

What "in theory" is preventing you using that same process with the
"paypal-keys" of other people?

You might find someone here who knows, but really this is not a rails
issue, it is a paypal issue, you might have more success asking
somewhere more relevant (don't know where though, sorry).
