say i wanted to buy product 1 and 2 from the cheapest company A/B or C

 

how would i go about doing this ?

 

any guidance would be helpful  cheers matt

Hi Matt,

 

You could easily select the products with SQL, but what happens after that is a little unknown. Are you trying to direct customers to other peoples sites ? Allow them to buy it on your site?

Are you factoring in the shipping cost? If product 1 from Company A is more then Company B, but Product 2 is cheaper at Company A who has cheaper shipping rates, then it "may" make more since to buy both products at company A.
