And you'll be able to enable it through the **Enable multi carts** of the "Hikashop->System->Configuration->'Feature'" page. Hope this will help you.

Each distributor needs to have their own cart and the orders separated by distributor so they can fulfill the orders for their own geo-areas. Would the multiple carts be used for this? Or, would a separate website with a different Hikashop install be needed? Thanks for your help.

HikaMarket has the capability to assign different vendors to different areas like you need.

He decides to continue shopping, and see product 5, 7 and 8 of vendor B and puts it in the cart. But this may not be in 1 cart together but need two seperate carts one for vender A and B ect. How can i configure that? Hope you understand my question.. Thanks.

We start a feature to redirect the products to another carts but the result was disturbing for the customers who couldn't understand why the product was not in their cart and didn't see easily that they have different carts. The "limit vendors in cart" setting is mandatory for that kind of configuration but the redirection of products into other carts is not something that I would recommend at the end.

Switching the current cart depending the vendor page you're browsing could be an idea. But, for my point of view, clearing the cart would be worst for the customer than sending the product to a different cart.

You could do that by implementing the trigger onBeforeProductQuantityCheck(&$products, &$cart, &$options) in such a plugin and creating a new cart and replacing it in $cart Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzg0MTIwLXdoYXQtaXMtbXVsdGktY2FydD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation.
