On the Edit Product screen for a WooCommerce product, in the Product Data block, there is a Commission tab. It looks to me like it’s there so one can override the vendor’s commission for that particular product. It has never worked. Am I missing something?
But more to the point, for my purposes, would there be a way to globally set it so that downloadable products have a different commission rate than the shipped products?
Many thanks.
There’s 3 ways to set commissions:
1.) Globally (WC Vendors Settings)
2.) Per Vendor (User Settings)
3.) Per Product (Product Settings)
First we check for #3, if doesnt exist, #2, if doesnt exist, #1. Easy as that!
There’s no way to set a global rate different than other product types as its written now, unless you customized the plugin to check that and do that.
That makes sense, and I’m fine doing it per product. The problem is that it doesn’t work. Orders for products where that is set up are reporting commissions from the global value.
As for customizing the plugin, are there any hooks that would make that practical?
Many thanks!
That’s strange. I tested this on our development server:
1.) Added a product named “Test” and assigned it to a test vendor with a price of $1.00. Commission is normally 50/50 on our test server.
2.) When adding the product named “Test” I clicked “Commission” and set the commission % to “1” (make sure you just enter a number, not “1%”, but “1”.
3.) Purchased product, verified commission was given of $0.01.
Let me know if this helps…….
As for a global rate for downloads only, you could use the filter “wcv_commission_rate” to return any commission you like. As it’s a filter, you can be incredibly creative with this. Here’s an example of what that filter can do:
From:
https://www.wcvendors.com/knowledgebase/commissions-fixed-dollar-amount-fixed-plus-percentage/https://gist.github.com/bentasm1/502fdc7186219583ce8f
As you can see, the world is yours with the filter. You could run a check to look at the products type (aka _downloadable = yes) and then return a rate, else do something else.
The wcv_commission_rate looks perfect. Does it fire when the product is created or when the sale happens, or…? That part is not clear, but I will try it!
Not sure what more to say about the product-level commission not working. I’ve been doing it without the % signs. The hook looks promising, though, so I will leave it at that for now, though.
Many thanks for your help!
https://github.com/wcvendors/wcvendors/blob/master/classes/class-commission.php you can see the filter on that page of code. Nice thing about github, just search the filter name and you can see what they do when they fire. 🙂 Have fun with the filter.
Cheers
Hi Ben,
Sorry to open this up again, but I still can’t get this to work. I have tried working with the filter you suggested and came up with this:
add_filter( 'wcv_commission_rate', array($this, 'my_wcv_commission_rate'), 10, 4 );
function my_wcv_commission_rate( $commission, $product_id, $product_price, $order ) {
$product = get_product( $product_id );
//if it's downloadable
if ($product->is_downloadable) {
$commission = $product_price/2;
$commission = round( $commission, 2 );
}return $commission;
}It should be really simple: our products are available in either printed or downloadable form. If it’s the download version, the commission is 50%. The default commission is 40%, so I want to override that in this case. So far, neither setting it at the product level, nor this filter does the trick.
Thank you!
Michael
