    Hello,

    I need to setup a online bookshop. I’m just wondering whether the following scenario would be possible with the help of woocommerce,.

    • Add author field to books
    • Authors can login to the site and setup their profile.
    • Authors can see a report of the sale of their books
    • Users can click on the author names to view their profile and other books

    Would these options be possible, and if so, how?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks.

  • Hey @raoof , this is completely possible. So with WooCommerce you would probably create the attribute Product Writer. Then you can assign that to the author from the product page. No need to programmatically create that. To display it though you will want to hook into the catalog of product page and add it. All attributes are prefixed with pa_. You could use the get_attribute() method or with wc_get_product_terms using the global $product.

    You could potentially modify the front end to show the author the sales. Sounds like a fun time.

    Hi @raoof. @copticexchange has got it spot on. This would like require a bit of customization.

    We do have the WooCommerce Product Vendors that allows different vendors to sell products on your site, so theoretically the authors could be set up as vendors, but it doesn’t sound like this is quite what you’re going for.

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any further questions!
