Multi Merchant Store

   Has anyone customized PC to allow multiple merchants?  Meaning I have a Parent Company which will maintain all the products and orders, etc.  The mini stores, I was thinking of setting them up as categories, but not sure if this would be the best solution.  I don't want people viewing one store, to be able to get to see the other stores by getting to the categories main page.  It could almost be thought of as a mall, but their would be one main store that would have access to the control panel and would maintain all the products for the other stores.

	I am designing a group of stores which work in a similar manner. The categories list in the header.asp file will be customised for each store and the design changed by css, all using a cookie or session variable to determine which store is in use.

	How is it going? I haven't started yet and wanted to know if you are confident in it working out. I have done a number of PC stores, but this would be the first with the multi-store design.

	Its working fine so far, but is not live yet. There is still a bit to do, such as putting the correct store name on invoices and emails.
