# Merchant-Store Management Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Wizamart platform implements a hierarchical multi-tenant architecture where **Merchants** are the primary business entities and **Stores** are storefronts/brands that operate under merchants.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Merchant (Business Entity)
|
||||
├── Owner (User)
|
||||
├── Contact Information
|
||||
├── Business Details
|
||||
└── Stores (Storefronts/Brands)
|
||||
├── Store 1
|
||||
├── Store 2
|
||||
└── Store N
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Merchant
|
||||
A **Merchant** represents a business entity on the platform. It contains:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Owner**: A user account that has full control over the merchant
|
||||
- **Contact Information**: Business email, phone, website
|
||||
- **Business Details**: Address, tax number
|
||||
- **Status**: Active/Inactive, Verified/Pending
|
||||
|
||||
### Store
|
||||
A **Store** (also called storefront or brand) represents a specific storefront operating under a merchant. A merchant can have multiple stores.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unique Identity**: Store code and subdomain
|
||||
- **Marketplace Integration**: CSV URLs for product feeds (FR, EN, DE)
|
||||
- **Status**: Active/Inactive, Verified/Pending
|
||||
- **Products**: Each store has its own product catalog
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Model
|
||||
|
||||
### Merchant Model
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class Merchant:
|
||||
id: int
|
||||
name: str
|
||||
description: str | None
|
||||
|
||||
# Owner (at merchant level)
|
||||
owner_user_id: int # FK to User
|
||||
|
||||
# Contact Information
|
||||
contact_email: str
|
||||
contact_phone: str | None
|
||||
website: str | None
|
||||
|
||||
# Business Details
|
||||
business_address: str | None
|
||||
tax_number: str | None
|
||||
|
||||
# Status
|
||||
is_active: bool
|
||||
is_verified: bool
|
||||
|
||||
# Timestamps
|
||||
created_at: datetime
|
||||
updated_at: datetime
|
||||
|
||||
# Relationships
|
||||
owner: User # Merchant owner
|
||||
stores: list[Store] # Storefronts under this merchant
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Store Model
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class Store:
|
||||
id: int
|
||||
merchant_id: int # FK to Merchant
|
||||
store_code: str # Unique identifier (e.g., "TECHSTORE")
|
||||
subdomain: str # URL subdomain (e.g., "tech-store")
|
||||
name: str
|
||||
description: str | None
|
||||
|
||||
# Marketplace URLs (brand-specific)
|
||||
letzshop_csv_url_fr: str | None
|
||||
letzshop_csv_url_en: str | None
|
||||
letzshop_csv_url_de: str | None
|
||||
|
||||
# Status
|
||||
is_active: bool
|
||||
is_verified: bool
|
||||
|
||||
# Timestamps
|
||||
created_at: datetime
|
||||
updated_at: datetime
|
||||
|
||||
# Relationships
|
||||
merchant: Merchant # Parent merchant (owner is accessed via merchant.owner)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Owner at Merchant Level Only
|
||||
Previously, each store had its own `owner_user_id`. This has been refactored:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before**: `Store.owner_user_id` - each store had a separate owner
|
||||
- **After**: `Merchant.owner_user_id` - ownership is at merchant level
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: A business entity (merchant) should have a single owner who can manage all storefronts. This simplifies:
|
||||
- User management
|
||||
- Permission handling
|
||||
- Ownership transfer operations
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Contact Information at Merchant Level
|
||||
Business contact information (email, phone, website, address, tax number) is now stored at the merchant level:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before**: Stores had contact fields
|
||||
- **After**: Contact info on Merchant model, stores reference parent merchant
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Business details are typically the same across all storefronts of a merchant.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Clean Architecture
|
||||
The `Store.owner_user_id` field has been completely removed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Ownership is determined solely via the merchant relationship
|
||||
- Use `store.merchant.owner_user_id` to get the owner
|
||||
- Use `store.merchant.owner` to get the owner User object
|
||||
|
||||

## Service Layer
|
||||
|
||||
### MerchantService (`app/services/merchant_service.py`)
|
||||
Primary service for merchant operations:
|
||||
|
||||
- `create_merchant_with_owner()` - Creates merchant and owner user account
|
||||
- `get_merchant_by_id()` - Get merchant with stores loaded
|
||||
- `get_merchants()` - Paginated list with filtering
|
||||
- `update_merchant()` - Update merchant fields
|
||||
- `toggle_verification()` - Verify/unverify merchant
|
||||
- `toggle_active()` - Activate/deactivate merchant
|
||||
- `transfer_ownership()` - Transfer to new owner
|
||||
- `delete_merchant()` - Delete merchant (requires no stores)
|
||||
|
||||
### AdminService (`app/services/admin_service.py`)
|
||||
Admin-specific store operations:
|
||||
|
||||
- `create_store()` - Create store under existing merchant
|
||||
- `get_all_stores()` - Paginated list with merchant relationship
|
||||
- `update_store()` - Update store fields
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### StoreService (`app/services/store_service.py`)
|
||||
Self-service store operations (for merchant owners):
|
||||
|
||||
- `create_store()` - Create store (requires merchant_id, validates ownership)
|
||||
- `get_stores()` - Get stores with access control
|
||||
- `get_store_by_code()` - Get single store
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a New Merchant with Stores
|
||||
|
||||
### Via Admin API
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# 1. Create merchant with owner
|
||||
POST /api/v1/admin/merchants
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Tech Solutions Ltd",
|
||||
"owner_email": "owner@techsolutions.com",
|
||||
"contact_email": "info@techsolutions.com",
|
||||
"contact_phone": "+352 123 456",
|
||||
"website": "https://techsolutions.com",
|
||||
"business_address": "123 Tech Street, Luxembourg",
|
||||
"tax_number": "LU12345678"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Response includes temporary password for owner
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Create store under merchant
|
||||
POST /api/v1/admin/stores
|
||||
{
|
||||
"merchant_id": 1,
|
||||
"store_code": "TECHSTORE",
|
||||
"subdomain": "tech-store",
|
||||
"name": "Tech Store",
|
||||
"description": "Consumer electronics storefront"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ownership Transfer
|
||||
|
||||
Ownership transfer is a critical operation available at the merchant level:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Admin initiates transfer** via `/api/v1/admin/merchants/{id}/transfer-ownership`
|
||||
2. **Merchant owner changes** - `Merchant.owner_user_id` updated
|
||||
3. **All stores affected** - Stores inherit new owner via merchant relationship
|
||||
4. **Audit trail** - Transfer reason logged
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
POST /api/v1/admin/merchants/1/transfer-ownership
|
||||
{
|
||||
"new_owner_user_id": 42,
|
||||
"confirm_transfer": true,
|
||||
"transfer_reason": "Business acquisition"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Admin UI Pages
|
||||
|
||||
### Merchant List Page (`/admin/merchants`)
|
||||
- Lists all merchants with owner, store count, and status
|
||||
- **Actions**: View, Edit, Delete (disabled if merchant has stores)
|
||||
- Stats cards showing total, verified, active merchants
|
||||
|
||||
### Merchant Detail Page (`/admin/merchants/{id}`)
|
||||
- **Quick Actions** - Edit Merchant, Delete Merchant
|
||||
- **Status Cards** - Verification, Active status, Store count, Created date
|
||||
- **Information Sections** - Basic info, Contact info, Business details, Owner info
|
||||
- **Stores Table** - Lists all stores under this merchant with links
|
||||
- **More Actions** - Create Store button
|
||||
|
||||
### Merchant Edit Page (`/admin/merchants/{id}/edit`)
|
||||
- **Quick Actions** - Verify/Unverify, Activate/Deactivate
|
||||
- **Edit Form** - Merchant details, contact info, business details
|
||||
- **Statistics** - Store counts (readonly)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Transfer Ownership Modal
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **User Search** - Autocomplete search by username or email
|
||||
- **Selected User Display** - Shows selected user with option to clear
|
||||
- **Transfer Reason** - Optional field for audit trail
|
||||
- **Confirmation Checkbox** - Required before transfer
|
||||
- **Validation** - Inline error messages for missing fields
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Stores
|
||||
Always use `merchant_id` when creating stores:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Correct
|
||||
store_data = StoreCreate(
|
||||
merchant_id=merchant.id,
|
||||
store_code="MYSTORE",
|
||||
subdomain="my-store",
|
||||
name="My Store"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Incorrect (old pattern - don't use)
|
||||
store_data = StoreCreate(
|
||||
owner_email="owner@example.com", # No longer supported
|
||||
...
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing Owner Information
|
||||
Use the merchant relationship:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Get owner User object
|
||||
owner = store.merchant.owner
|
||||
|
||||
# Get owner details
|
||||
owner_email = store.merchant.owner.email
|
||||
owner_id = store.merchant.owner_user_id
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Checking Permissions
|
||||
For store operations, check merchant ownership:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def can_manage_store(user, store):
|
||||
if user.role == "admin":
|
||||
return True
|
||||
return store.merchant.owner_user_id == user.id
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Notes
|
||||
|
||||
The `Store.owner_user_id` column has been removed. If you have an existing database:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the migration: `alembic upgrade head`
|
||||
2. This will drop the `owner_user_id` column from stores table
|
||||
3. Ownership is now determined via `store.merchant.owner_user_id`
|
||||
|
||||
If migrating from an older store-centric model:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create merchants for existing stores (group by owner)
|
||||
2. Assign stores to merchants via `merchant_id`
|
||||
3. Copy contact info from stores to merchants
|
||||
4. Run the migration to drop the old owner_user_id column
