Marketplace - buy from another site?

Not sure if this is an option, but we are sponsored by a computer company, is there any way to add their products to our Marketplace but the sales goes through them? Or would it be best just to create a page, with details and links to the other store?

Digital products or physical products?

If Digital = Yes.  They can list items in IP.Downloads and receive payment.  You can charge a commission if you want.  It will work just like the Marketplace here on Invision Community.  They will need to request a pay-out once a week for you to send them earnings.  

If Physical = No.  IP.Commerce does not allow third-parties to list their physical products or subscriptions for sale.  If you require the sell of physical products by your sponsor, then you will need to investigate third-party options like Sales Portal Pro by @newbie LAC or Classifieds by @InvisionHQ

It’s not a function of the Commerce app at this point. I mean you can add the products and put them “out of stock” so they can’t be bought on your site and then add a link to the external store, but that’s not really a nice solution.

Nice way would be to just link it in the description and use a custom.css code to hide the purchase form etc, but that will depend if he has his own items in stock too
