 * Hi all,
 * Can somebody offer me one solution to a problem which maybe is not a wordpress
   nature but I have to do it in wp?
 * So I have products custom post types, and stores.
    Every product may be in several
   stores (like amazon, buy.com), but having different price in each of them. Something
   like [this table](http://www.google.com/products/catalog?cid=11714930381862281310&holiday=hp10pp1#).
 * Also, found a plugin “posts-to-posts” which relate post types many-to-many. It’s
   great because I can select stores when creating a product post, but I would need
   broader data.
    Every store has infos for products like, price, amount, buy url…
   So, I guess I need description (meta) of that relationship.
 * If more info is required just say.
    How to implement things like this in wp (
   if can be) ??

 * custom fields?
 * key = store
    value = price

 * It is not just the price, but more stuff like, quantity, shipping , url, etc 
   etc
    So, if custom fields, then would have for one store n fields. Product is
   in several stores, so (number of fields) = (number of stores) x (n) Too much 
   I guess, and hassle for end-user management..

 * Something like,
 * product1 – price1,qunatity1,url1,shipping1 – store1
    product1 – price2,qunatity2,
   url2,shipping2 – store2 product2 – price3,qunatity3,url3,shipping3 – store1 product2–
   price4,qunatity4,url4,shipping4 – store2 …

 * yeah, for an end user it would be hard. I do think custom fields would provide
   the functionality you need….but the data entry would be a pain
 * I do recall some tutorials aroung the google, for designing a menu system that
   runs on the edit post screen which allows for a clean, menu driven interface.
   But still uses the data as custom fields…. that may be useful if you can find
   it….

 * I guess will have to make custom table in database for this, maybe extending 
   posts-to-posts plugin, or read using $wpdb completely customized
