Invoices

@hugu – You can try WCMp PDF Invoice add-on for the invoice feature. I want to inform that this plugin may not provide the detailed information at this moment (as it’s just launched) but we will enhance this plugin with passing time based on our user’s feedback and requests.

is there a way I can test this invoice add-on before buying it ? How are the invoices handled when customers buy products form different vendors?

thanks for your help!

Now I can login, but I think the Invoice Add-On is not installed

@hugu – Please check now.

thank you for your effort! Unfortunately I discovered that the way you create orders and handle commissions is not applicable to marketplaces in Europe. I don’t know for other countries but this is how it should work in most cases.

Best practice is Amazon Marketplace:

Amazon is the Marketplace and sellers/shops are able to sell their products, in order to do that, they have to pay a fee (%) for each sold item plus additional 30-40 Euro per month. You called that “admin fee”.

As a marketplace owner I don’t want to be mentioned on the invoices to the customer, because I don’t sell the products to them and for legal issues.

So first Invoice would be: Vendor to Customer (no commission is shown to customer, obviously). If the order consists of multiple Vendors, there should be individual invoices for each vendor.

Most important
Second Invoice: Marketplace to vendors for charging the admin fee. It must be possible to set taxes for commissions/admin fees. So for example if the admin fee is 10%, I have to pay taxes (let’s say 20%) of that 10%. Currently this is not possible with WC-Marketplace.

If you put this in consideration, we will be able to use WC-MP and also willing to support.

Thanks @hugu for taking out time and describing the flow. WCMp is not any country or region specific as it runs on WooCommerce, it have to work according to WooCommerce’s accessibility.

Also, as you know we are a bit new in the marketplace, we will enhance and expand our wings in various fields but that may take time. The same concept is applied to WCMp PDF invoice too. You must have noticed that WCMp PDF invoice is recently launched, hence it would require enhancement.

Thanks again for the feedback, we will definitely work on this.
