custom coding to make separate checkouts for each vendor

Hi,

Thank you for trying our plugin.

Q. I want to make separate checkouts for each vendor. what’s the custom coding?
-> I am not sure what you mean, but there seems to be quite a few logical minefields. Do you want different checkout fields of different vendors or do you want different payment gateways? In any of these scenarios if a customer orders products from different vendors, then which checkout fields or payment gateway will be used?

Q. I want separate shipping setting for each vendor
WooCommerce 2.4 has been unstable snce its launch and it is inly recently they seems to have fixed all bugs. So, we could not work towards providing this setting(separate shipping setting for each vendor) till now. Now that WooCommerce 2.4+ is stable, we will provide this setting for WC 2.4+ too. The ETA for this is 15th Sept.

Just in case you need it, this feature is working with older versions of woocommerce.

Q. checkbox to approve vendor to publish products directly does not work
-> Many thanks for pointing it out. We will give an update on 5th, in this update this bug will be fixed.

Hope this helped.

Thanks
Shan

here’s my site links, do I need to upgrade to 2.4.0 version
https://www.artcraft.club using WooCommerce 2.3.11
https://www.dresscustomstudio.com using WooCommerce 2.3.9

1. yes, I want different payment gateways for each vendor as each vendor is from different countries. I think they should have their own customer checkout for their products. I don’t want my vendor’s product sale come to merchant Paypal account/ my Paypal account. What is the solution?

2. shipping setting is as similar to my question number 1. Now in wc-marketplace, only merchant has full control over the shipping setting. My solution is I added shipping class for my vendor.

3. please please fix the bug.

thank you

another important issue

4. why we share the same media file, vendor can browse my media file

1&2) So, you basically want a site where each vendor will have a different check out process/payment gateway and the customer will buy products from any one vendor in a given transaction. Also, the vendors will get the payment directly from the customer; these vendors will pay the siteowner a fixed recurring listing fees.

So, would this also mean that a customer won’t be able to buy products from multiple vendors in a single transactions?

Either way, I am afraid WCMp (and WooCommerce) cannot help you with different carts for different vendors.

If you really want different cart/check out process/payment gateway for different vendors, you may try taking the multi-site approach where each vendor’s store will be in separate/unique subdomains. However, even this approach will require medium to heavy custom development.

If you think your business model may be tweaked to allow…..
1)one standard shopping cart/payment gateway
2)Site-owner getting paid from the customer, who in turn disburses the amount to the vendor

……then the WCMp plugin(and the planned paid add-ons) will let you set a recurring charge for vendors, and real time/on the fly disbursement of the commission earned, customized shipping mode etc.

Btw, the “checkbox to approve vendor to publish products directly does not work” and ” why we share the same media file, vendor can browse my media file” – these two bugs have been fixed in the latest release(2.0.1).

Hope this helped. I am marking this issue as resolved. If not, please feel free to open a new thread.
