Hi All,

We currently have a web shop up and running using BV Commerce 5. One of our suppliers would like to embed a version of our shop onto their site in an iframe to sell only their product.

In essence what they want is a widget that would appear within a page on their site, with only their product available and when a user chooses to buy they would be taken to the checkout within the iframe. I suppose it what they are after is something a bit like an Amazon aStore.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Cheers,
Robert

Interesting idea, I'm not sure if the iframe process will actually work. If they only have one product to sell you could always set up a separate copy of BV. I think BV licensing is free when a store has less than 11 products. So if you created a new store with just one product that might work. But if they're looking for something that's really co-branded, you would have to consider, what would happen if the shopper clicks other shopping cart links within the iframe. The user experience could become weird, i.e. if the shopper created a user account within the iframe they would have (perhaps surprisingly to them) a new user account created for your shopping cart domain.

Maybe a co-branding solution could work where shoppers would be directed to a co-branded domain for their shopping...maybe shop.company.com, where you deploy the single product version of BV.

But for a single product on their site, where shoppers will always just buy that single product, i.e. immediately check out the product once purchased, perhaps the easiest path of making a page on their site with a PayPal buy now button could work, unless there are other needs

Without giving this a ton of thought, I'm thinking it might be possible to set this supplier up as an affiliate and then create a special theme for this affiliate.
