Magento 2.1 to MedusaJS + Mercur Migration

Developer Needed to Migrate Magento 2.1 to MedusaJS + Mercur Multivendor Marketplace

**Description:**
We’re migrating our multivendor marketplace from Magento 2.1 to a modern, headless stack built with MedusaJS (v2) and possibly MercurJS. This is a re-platforming project where we want to preserve and improve current functionality, while benefiting from a cleaner, faster, and more flexible architecture.

* Vendor / Seller accounts
* Customer accounts
* Order history
* Implement multivendor functionality:

* Vendor onboarding
* Order splitting
* PayPal Direct-to-Seller (each vendor has their own PayPal account; buyers pay vendors directly — no intermediary payment processing)
* Light frontend polish using Next.js (optional)
