My app is an online marketplace where sellers can login and sell products through my platform. Users (buyers) can add products to their cart from different sellers but when they checkout and an order is created (one order containing all of the various products they bought), I then need to send multiple orders to the multiple sellers which would contain the products and quantities (line items) they need to produce as well as a date in which they need to be produced by.
I cannot work figure out how to send multiple (unfulfilled orders) out to the various sellers of the products that the buyer has in their basket.
Thank you for your help, any bit of help is welcomed.

How far along are you? Last we spoke I covered a few things about transactional database structure - if you have all of your product as individual data points (or individual āthingsā), all pointing back to an āorderā, I think it should be relatively easy for you to split and then re-merge the order. What part of it do you need help with?
I have SKUs for each of my products such as āUK 9 Air Jordansā & āUK 7 Air Jordansā and those SKUs are under the product: Nike Air Jordans as part of a List of SKUs. When an item (SKU) gets added to a buyerās shopping cart (which is created for them when they signup) , a line item is created and that Line Item is made up of the selected SKU and quantity. When the buyer checks out, I create an order which contains a list of line items and price etc. My challenge is to then create a āsub-orderā which contains the Line Items and Line Items sub-total for that specific vendor and then adding that sub-order to a list of āunfulfilled ordersā for that specific vendor/seller.
