Mutiple Websites with different domain names on single magento - magento

I have installed one magento instance. I want to add 2 websites wholesale.com and retail.com.
Both the wholesale and retail websites are in a single magento. The products and catalogs are same for both the sites but prices will be different as per wholesale and retail websites.
When I will open a wholesale.com the customer should not see the price of the products. To see the price of products he/she need to login. And in retail.com customer can see the retail price of the product.
Also the customers will be different for both the sites. i.e. wholesale customers belongs to wholesale.com and retail customers belongs to retail.com.
I have tried some links but not able to do the same. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, you can do this.
For this setup, you should create 2 websites in your magento instantes. One for wholesale.com and another for retail.com.
Each website will have its own categories, and all products will have to be added to both websites and the categories in both websites.
To configure the visibility of the product prices, you will have to create or install an extension. It will have to be active for wholesale.com and inactive for retail.com.
You can determine how user accounts are shared over your magento installation: system wide or per website. You can find this setting under System - Configuration - Customer Configuration.
You can configure different prices for customer groups. In your case, I would create a customer group for the wholesale.com site. So, retail.com would show the default price. Under System - Configuration - Customer Configuration you can also set the Default Group for new accounts. Change your scope to wholesale.com and select the wholesale customer group.
I believe this should do it.

How to have products on front-end only viewable to admin?

We are trying to figure out if its possible to have the following logic on magento CE.
Admin adds products to Magento, but they are to be marked as admin viewable on the front-end only, which means customers will NOT be able to see those SPECIFIC products on the frontend.
Note: customers will still be able to view all the rest of the products on the site, except admin viewable products.
Some products by customization can be made available for some certain customer groups.
So using logic related to this you can achieve your goal.

Magento split payments for different items in same cart

Here is the problem:
I have multiple suppliers of physical goods, each with their own bank account.
A user is able to order items from multiple suppliers in the same cart.
The payment from the user for each item needs to go into the relevant supplier's bank account - these transtactions will be handled by multiple separate Braintree accounts.
Is it possible to achieve this with Magento Enterprise Edition?
I was looking at a similar thread (https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/6974/split-order-into-seperate-orders-and-calculate-shipping-seperately-with-ups-and) which is dealing with the shipping side of this problem but I am not sure if it can be adapted to also work with the payments?
Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to add Product to Magento cart from another website without product being in magento store

I just setup a magento store (1.8) and added some demo products, but now my company wants to use the payment gateway built into magento to process payments from another website.
To explain better, my company runs a school and has a website with an application that generates bills for parents to pay. These bills vary depending on class of student and other factors. So Parent A may pay $200 while parent B pays $400.
What we want to do is post the amounts to be paid from the other website to our magento store and add it to cart for payment using our payment processor so that the magento features can still be used to log all transactions.
Since I am new to magento, I don't know if it is possible to do this and how if possible.
We intend to get the other application to generate the SKU, Product ID and Description automatically and post it together with the amount to the store.
So how do I get the magento store to receive this url and process it?
You must need to create product in magento.
When you post the data from other site, pass the product sku.
Then load product by sku :-

Then check magento add to cart functionality how to add cart.

multi store magento - different domain, same products

friends,
I'm in doubt about the possibility of a configuration with multiple store magento.
I will explain my business:
I have a online store selling jewelry.
What I need:
I want to create micro franchise scheme to expand my shop
I want to provide a copy of my partner shop:
Different domain
Same products
Receive different paypal account
The seller will only see a list of your customers (independent customers)
The seller will only see a list of their requests (requests independent)
The main shop can see everything (requests, customers)
Is that possible?
Is there any technical procedure?
Is there any extension that makes it work so simple in creation of additional stores?
Please help me on how I can do this.
I have interest in hiring the service of realizing this project.
Thank you all!

This is totally possible and easy enough to do with the multi-store and store front views.. You will need to edit the httpd.conf file for your domain problem Magento Multiple Store and Views
then the login to the admin area for the sellers would be set to only view their customers/items etc. via the roles and permissions on the system.
