I want to convert hikashop as merchant component how to do it?")* actually i am confuse about the difference between multi vendor system and merchant. My goal is like a payment gateway and at the same time mulit-vendor system like your current system, then i just want to have merchant function like paypal or payza so that a vendor or merchant can create his own payment button, subscribe, buy now, or donate, i just want to know if its possible to revise the multi-vendor system into full merchant payment gateway as an additional component under hikashop component. please give me some inputs because i a developer i just to have an idea on how to get it done.

Please explain what is a merchant component ; because like that it is not possible to understand. HikaShop already have payment plugins (paypal is one of them) and it's already possible to sell products using HikaShop and HikaMarket.

Then replace the word multi-vendor labels to merchant , plus add some merchant features like account balance , and use a default crypto currencies like bitcoin withdrawal method not limited to bank and credit cards.. .. Now also wanted to convert the hikashop as main payment gateway like paypal or payza and turn the multi-vendor into merchant account management to send fund, balance, withdraw , transfer to other merchant member or or vendor etc.. i hope now you get what i mean... --- WebMaster Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg3MzMxNy1jb252ZXJ0aW5nLWhpa2FzaG9wLXRvLW1lcmNoYW50LWNvbXBvbmVudD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")** - [![Jerome's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar80.png)](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/80-jerome) - HikaShop core developer Less More - Posts: 26394 - Thank you received: 4078 - - [](http://obsi.dev) - 11 years 10 months ago [\#181964](#181964) by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") Replied by *[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")* on topic *[Converting Hikashop to Merchant Component](/forum/31-development/873317-converting-hikashop-to-merchant-component#181964 "-- HikaShop version -- : 1402141152 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.4 -- PHP version -- : 5.5.6 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : I want to convert hikashop as merchant component how to do it?

It uses payment gateway for the payments but HikaShop/HikaMarket are not a payment gateway. About the account balance, you can use the integration with AlphaUserPoints in order to have your "local currency".
