Hi Tom,
If I am understanding you correctly you are trying to build an ecommerce service. The software architecture will be different than the single store. In broad strokes you will need
A Store Model with attributes: Name, Username, Password Hash, Payment Processor, any other relevant information about store. Store will also have many products, carts and orders
Update Product Model so that it belongs to Store by adding store_id attribute
Update Cart Model to belong to Store
Update Order Model to belong to Store
Add corresponding controllers and views for signing up and creating new stores.
Add admin controllers and admin views to allow store owners to CRUD products, orders etc.
Add mailers and other functionality helpful for store owners.
It will be an involved process, and you will discover and learn quite alot.
Another option would be to take the system you currently have and run its multiple instances for each store owner. You can add their payment processor and other unique information manually or write a script which will automate the process.
Good luck,
Ahsan
