    Hi,
    I am looking at using the WC Vendors Marketplace plugin for a Woocommerce ready theme that I am looking at purchasing. A few questions:

    1) I understand that the WC Vendors Marketplace plugin allows for commissions to be charged by the site for products sold by vendors (“Commission rates can be set globally, Per Vendor or Per product this is limited to percentage commissions only”). Does this commision fee go into the site Admins Paypal or bank account (or something similar)?

    2) I want the commission charged to be split between the site admin and another user registered to the site (of a certain User role). So say John is a vendor on the marketplace and he sells a phone for $100. The split would need to be as follows:
    – Site Admin gets 33%
    – Special user (of certain role) gets 33%
    – John gets 33%
    Is this possible with customisation?

    Thanks in advance

  • Hello,

    1. All commissions are logged to the commissions table as due. If you are a using a supported gateway then the payments can go into the marketplace PayPal, stripe or mangopay accounts.

    2. This would require customisation of the commission calculation system as it’s currently set to only split 2 ways, not three.

    cheers,

    Jamie.

    Ok thanks for that. Is the commision calculation system customisable? Is that done through a Child theme or is it a core customisation to the plugin?

    Hello,

    We have thousands of filters in our code to pretty much override anything without touching the core. This includes the commission calculation system, you can do this in your theme or a custom plugin.

    cheers,

    That is brilliant. Thanks, appreciate the responses. I am going to download and start.

    One last question, for a Marketplace I see you have Dokan and WC Marketplace. Whats the key difference between the two?

    Hello,

    Dokan and WC Marketplace are different to our products. We provide a lot more options for customisation in our free product and in our pro product. We include a lot more functionality into the base product without charging extra for things like the front end dashboard (the main reason to get pro), advanced shipping, advanced commission options, vendor vacation mode as these are all included in our main pro product.

    Both ours and dokan’s code is very robust and well written while most of the other products although they function are not well written in my opinion. They also do not include anywhere near the filters and actions that ours provide. Our product is more theme agnostic than any other product on the market. We don’t create yet another dashboard that your users will have to learn instead our free product uses the wp-admin and our pro product dashboard integrates seamlessly into any 100% compatible woocommerce theme.

    cheers,

    Jamie.

    Thanks Jamie, I have installed your free version on my site and am playing around with it to understand it better. Just to clarify, vendors can only add their own products in the paid version? ( I dont see an add product button).

    Also how do vendors register? I dont see a registration button either

    Hello,

    There should be an add product button on free dashboard that redirects to the WordPress admin dashboard. If this isn’t enabled then you might not have the ‘allow vendors to add products’ enabled in WC Vendors > Settings. In pro we have a fully functional front end dashboard so you dont need to give your vendors access to the WordPress admin area.

    Registration is handled on the WooCommerce my-account page. Assuming you have enabled registration on this page in WooCommerce settings and enabled allow vendors to register in our settings then you should be good to go.

    If existing users are on the page, if they load the my-account page they’ll have a become a vendor button or if they click on the vendor page they’ll also see the application checkbox.

    cheers,

    Jamie

    Thanks I see the add Product button now, I just had to restart the installs as I had a few conflicts. I am going to need the PRO paid version as I want vendors to add their own products. So couple of other questions:

    1) I need to add a few custom fields to the Add Product dropdown, for a vendor to select a particular Special User (another WP user) who is associated to the product. Is that possible? i see you have code to add custom fields to the Dashboard, which works but this is to the Add/Edit Products page

    2) My vendors will mostly be selling individual items, so say a used Cycle. So i want to be able to default the stock quantity to 1 and allow only 1 of the product to be sold. Of course, this could be overridden by the vendor

    3) If I need pther customisations, do you offer a paid customisation service? or have any associates that can customise this further

    Thanks a lot. I am pleased I found something that will fit my requirements after a lot of research

    Hello,

    I seemed to have missed the email alert for this, apologies!

    1. We have our own form helper to add custom fields onto the front end forms.
    2. Yes you can do this with the form helper and various filters we include in our form fields. Every single front end field has a filter associated with it.

    3. Currently we do not offer paid customisations at this time.

    cheers,

    Jamie.
