You know how Amazon has a bunch of drop shipment crap that’s exactly the same but with a different brand? Yeah, that’s what this will turn into.

You could have a company that curates and manages which stores get “federated” in but they’ll have costs and that means overhead and someone has to pay for that.

The participants will have to standardize on an API for accurate inventory, shipping calculations and guarantees, tax information, product details, reviews, etc.

You’re basically recreating what Amazon already does. Walmart, Target and others do this, too. But those stores run the storefront and simply pass on orders. Unless you can make it more cost efficient than selling through the big storefronts or add value in some way, it’s dead in the water.

Some delivery people are unionized, you know? They make good money.

Try to use native clover if you can. Otherwise, you’re replacing high-maintenance, non-native with low-maintenance, non-native and possibly invasive.

I’d choose M, V, T.
