Hi guys
I am in the process of building a community platform that will allow community members (artists, etc) to list and sell products on our storefront and am investigating all the Joomla store extensions.
I had discarded J2 store as a possibility because it was being sunsetted but have just read your article in the November Joomla magazine (I've been busy :))
I had decided to go with Hikashop as they have a multivendor solution but would rather support you guys into the future especially as hikashop are a bit slow to upgrade as well over the years.
I know you are super busy right now and don't want to add pressure but was wondering if it's on your roadmap at all to add multi-vendor capability at some point and then make it so it can be financially managed via Stripe Connect.I think I can see (before testing) a way to use the article to product functionality you have as a way to allow individuall artists to have individual pages/categories in the store but just wanted an indication from you if this would be a possible later development, particularly the multi-vendor payments. As its an NFP, we don't have the dollars to spend a lot of time every month managing people's payouts however we are prepared to wait a while as you find your feet with the new product and get it solidly upgraded, etc
Thanks
Jacqui

Jacqui,

Thanks for reaching out! We are currently discussing building out the multi-vendor system as we also need that to allow other developers to add their extensions on the site as well. So in short, it has definitely been discussed. 

There is already a built in function for vendors, so it seems the only thing left would be a payment method that would allow you to automatically pay the vendors based on the % and sales.

Stick around and we'll keep you updated on the progress.
