Multi-vendor Orders

After placing an Order containing line items from multiple Vendors (suppliers) (either via API or our hosted checkout) the Order will be split into suborders (one per vendor). Each sub-order will receive its own Order number based on the original order.

Example:

Order R123456 contains:

• Line item Cool Shirt x 2 from vendor Best Fashion - total 100 USD
• Line item Glow Serum x 1 from vendor Sunny Glow - total 50 USD
• Line item Lip balm x 1 from vendor Sunny Glow - total 20 USD
• Shipment H12345 from vendor Best Fashion - total 10 USD
• Shipment H09876 from vendor Sunny Glow - total 5 USD

Order total: 185 USD

After completing the checkout Vendo will split Order R123456 into 2 sub-orders:

1. Order R123456-1 associated to vendor Best Fashion - total 110 USD, containing:
   1. Line item Cool Shirt x 2
   2. Shipment H12345
2. Order R123456-2 associated to vendor Sunny Glow - total 75 USD, containing:
   1. Line item Glow Serum x 1
   2. Line item Lip balm x 1
   3. Shipment H09876

🚧

When moving line items and shipments from parent order to sub-orders we're not changing their IDs.

📘

Each vendor will have access to only the sub-order they are associated with.

Each sub-order can be independently canceled, returned, or refunded.
