Multi Vendor Multi Domain Teespring like website on Shopify

Hi

I am planning to build Teespring.com like website via Shopify Plus. (I know it is quite easy if I have to use WordPress+WooCommerce-Multisite)

The difficult part is Multi Vendor + Multi Domain for each vendor on Shopify. Each Creator has own limited assess. Only can add/delete product own products.

Lets say the main shop is Googleshop.com

The main shop is to provide a platform to let unlimited vendors(creators) to sell own designed product. Can not manage other creators’ products. Each creator shop can have own theme design.

googleshop.com/creator-a

googleshop.com/creator-b

googleshop.com/creator-c

What I want to to let each vendor has subdomain names.

creator-a.googleshop.com

creator-b.googleshop.com

creator-c.googleshop.com

It is a Teespring.com like website, each vendor can upload own designed products, can only manage own products.(add/delete own products.), the main shop can see all orders, and will do all the orders and logistics. Creators no need pay own shopify plan fee. All order money will go to one Paypal accout, and give creators income by month.

I made some research, says each collection can be each vendors’ shop link and set own domain.

How to do it on Shopify platform? I do not mind to use Shopify Plus.

One solution is use one Email address set up one main website, and unlimited other shopify shops to let creators be like staff accounts, but for unlimitied creators, there will be unlimited shopify shops, too much fee.

If your already familiar with wordpress you may want to just embed shopify into that platform with buy buttons, or use the storefront api.

That is if the main use of shopify is for the narrow ecom features products, payments, and orders and not also the online sales channel.

One problem of course will be resource names will have to be unique so there will only be 1 collection name or product name for all vendors.

And internationalization domains could be a problem to solve as well.

Really though shopify is not archtectured to behave like this from a single store, or to be white labeled so there will be a ton of work and workarounds ontop of the shopify Plus fees.
