Saleor Modification to Multivendor Marketplace

I'm looking to modify the Saleor platform ([login to view URL]) to create a multivendor marketplace. There are many items that need to be modified in order to convert this code base to multi-vendor but here is a high level overview of the anticipated changes:

Necessary features and requirements for a multi-vendor marketplace:

Vendor management:

Vendor registration, login, and profile management

Approval system for new vendor registrations

Product management:

Ability for vendors to create, edit, and delete their own products

Product approval system

Inventory and stock management for each vendor

Order management and commission:

Split orders based on vendors involved

Automated commission calculation and distribution

Vendor-specific order management and notifications

Vendor dashboard and analytics:

Performance metrics and insights for vendors

Revenue and commission reports

Product and order management interface

Search and navigation:

Vendor-specific filtering and sorting options

Navigation and user interface adjustments to accommodate multiple vendors

Customer reviews and ratings:

Customer review system for both products and vendors

Rating system to reflect vendor reliability and product quality

Shipping and delivery:

Support for vendor-specific shipping options and rates

Vendor-specific fulfillment and tracking information

Option for Vendors to use a designated DC for additional handling fee

Payment processing:

Secure and flexible payment options for customers

Support for split payments between vendors and the platform

Saleor architecture comparison:

Saleor is a GraphQL-based e-commerce platform built on Django, designed for a single vendor by default. It includes features such as product management, order management, payments, and shipping options. However, it does not natively support multi-vendor functionality.

To adapt Saleor for a multi-vendor marketplace, you'll need to extend its existing architecture by adding or modifying the following components (at a minimum):

Vendor management:

Extend the User model to create a Vendor model and related GraphQL API endpoints

Implement vendor registration and approval system, if needed

Product management:

Modify the Product model to associate products with vendors

Implement access controls to restrict product management to the relevant vendor

Order management and commission:

Update the Order model to include vendor associations

Implement commission calculation and distribution logic

Vendor dashboard and analytics:

Develop a vendor-specific dashboard with relevant metrics and insights

Integrate analytics for revenue, commissions, and performance

Search and navigation:

Update search functionality and user interface to support multi-vendor browsing and shopping

Customer reviews and ratings:

Implement or integrate a review and rating system for products and vendors

Shipping and delivery:

Extend shipping options and rates to support vendor-specific configurations

Payment processing:

Modify the payment processing system to handle split payments between vendors and the platform

This is a basis of the project but you should review the list for completeness prior to submitting an offer to bid. All proposals should have a specified schedule to complete this work. Final code will include the appropriate unit and function tests allowing CI testing. All code will be hosted on a private GitHub repo during development for realtime code review by our team.
