1 DB, 1 user account, various shops, 1 admin/shop

[Pica]

I currently have various webshops (various clients) based on osC.

 

Presently, each webshop is a separate osC DB. This means, each shop owner

is able to fully administer its own shop.

 

On the other hand, that also means, each customer must have a separate identical account on each shop.

 

How could I have a single DB to all shops and customers, BUT giving admin access to each shop owner ONLY to his own products ?

 

Does VirtualMall do this ?

 

Also, imagine that a customer "logs in" from my main business. He can visit the affiliated shops, without having to log in again. Also, when placing items in his shopping cart, he can pay only once, at the end of his tour. I can then send separate orders and credit to the respective shop owners.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thx.
