Hyperlocal Marketplace Support #131

Closed birender-s closed 3 years ago

birender-s commented 4 years ago

I am actually looking for Hyperlocal Marketplace feature exposed via REST APIs to be consumed by custom native mobie Apps (Android, iOS) allowing:

  1. Sellers to register through App and post product(s) by providing details like Product category, name, quantity, service location radius (Lat/long, distance e.g. 10 KM/Miles area).

  2. Buyer to get a list of products available in nearby area (customizable via Lat/Long/radius). Receive notifications about new/updated products.

These features mean that the APIs and associated services (PUSH notifications/webhooks/events...) are supported by the backend. As per this thread and Admin UI access control change, looks like Reaction platform now supports adding and managing Shops via REST APIs (UI might not be ready though). I need your confirmation and advise on achieving above mentined Hyperlocal Marketplace capability. UI development is not critical for me since custom mobile App UI should cover that but I need APIs and other backend capabilities e.g. webhooks/events/PUSH notifications... Please note that I came across Reaction platform recently and yet to deep dive doc/technical specs. Thanks in advance !

gentle reminder !

Reaction commerce's API is GraphQL so we will not be providing any REST APIs.

Reaction Commerce is a plugin system for extensibility. That said, marketplace functionality is something we have approached in the past but the additional technical complexity would make it a major undertaking and it's not on any near-term roadmap.

hi @focusaurus , thanks for sharing feedback ! Yes, i later understood about reaction's usage of GraphQL instead of REST. Loan Laux shared in separate discussion about few recent changes done by him and fellow members regarding multi-shop implementation but not a true multi-tenant marketplace. So i understand that some foundational work has started in this direction but still a significant set of development is required. Thanks once again !
