Woocommerce global product (multisite)
I set in wordpress the property multisite and activated woocommerce on my network. My network is formed by a primary site and a subsite. I would like to see from the subsite see the products on the primary site, and products, attributes and categories in the admin bar corresponding products.
Does anyone know how to do?
Answer
Yes @Zakir is right.
There is no way to share product databases, checkout and user accounts in WooCommerce right now.
There are many people looking for this solution, a WooCommerce MultiSite and Multi Store feature is a must.
I was looking for the very exact thing, since I need to create a website that works like Etsy.com or Themeforest.com and this is what I have found so far:
1. These guys have done some research:
WooCommerce Multisite Global Cart
WooCommerce Single Cart Multisite
Since it is really hard to create a fully working WooCommerce MultiSite and global cart plugin (if not impossible) there is the need of a WooCommerce version that is meant to do just that.
I tried to understand with the WooCommerce guys if there is the possibility to have such a feature in WooCommerce in a reasonable amount of time, but looks like this is something that may take ages, since the WooCommerce developers are focusing on other things.
Recently I have found: [Link removed, site no longer exists]
2. WooMU MultiSite WooCommerce Fork
This is an Open Source project that aims to do just that, a Multi Site and MultiStore version of WooCommerce. Looks promising, since they want to keep compatibility with future releases of WooCommerce but focusing on MultiSite and Multi Store features.
I am contributing to this project right now. They are still in Alpha stage and looking for ideas and to grow the community.
The Beta launch is set for 31 Dec 2015.
Hope this helps :)
