Override with metadata

    Hi is there a way with metadata to overwrite a different vendor for a product?

    I (admin) am currently the vendor on a product that exists solely to charge customers the difference of upgrading a package (Pkg A to Pkg B of any single product). I don’t want to create a new product for every single product we have (hundreds with at least a hundred vendors). That would require a different product for each program.

    Is there a way with product metadata to overwrite the vendor field, depending on whose product is being upgraded. So when I upgrade Sally Smith’s product, I go to product metadata and type in her name as the vendor. When I upgrade one of Bill Black’s product, I insert him as the vendor. Then the correct vendor will get the email notification of the order, and the order would show in his/her portal.

    If so what is the metafield name so I can add it and put in new vendor name?

    If not, do you have any other suggestions to use one product with multiple vendors?

    Thank you.

    Hi @eftcolumbus,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    At the moment, you can assign a product to one vendor only as seen in the image below.

    I have raised this as a feature request with our development team to let the admin assign a product to multiple vendors. I’m not able to give an ETA if and when it can be implemented. We’ll keep you in the loop for updates.

    In the meantime, I’d recommend duplicating the product in bulk via CSV and assigning it to each vendor in the “Vendor ID” field. Please check this documentation for more details: https://woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/.

    Thank you for your understanding. Feel free to contact us again if you have other questions.
