Hia, checking in to see if WC Vendors has this feature or whether I need to buy this app to enable this: https://woocommerce.com/products/product-add-ons/
Create additional product personalization options
Allow your customers to customize your products by adding new options such as input boxes, dropdowns or checkboxes. With the Product Add-Ons extension, gift messages, donations, laser engraving and any other product that requires user input is now an option for your customers!
Hello,
No- the fields for the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons are not worked into the front-end forms of Pro.
That’s an integration that requires quite a bit of work- lots of different fields and types to work in- I had taken it on at one time, but I needed to set it aside for now because I was going to break my computer.It is perhaps one of the plugins we will be building an extension for in the future- but not on the list yet.
I did, however, work this code to add a field to the product page so my customers could add a message for the product (such as customization, extra notes, engraving instructions, initial. etc.)
You are free to use it in your theme/child theme functions.php and it will add a field tot he product page. If you want to customize it or change the way it looks on the page, that’s up to you- it will look different with each theme, as I have used very general/generic styling so it could be shared.
https://gist.github.com/fervous/76aebbe57dba94229d4be1b2f57fc3f3Hi,
My apologies for replying to this forum thread, I could not find a way to directly contact your team and didn’t feel that a new thread was appropriate. My name is James (Adam is my client). I’ve just built a plugin that integrates WC Vendors Pro and WooCommerce Product Addons. The plugin adds an ‘Addons’ tab to the product edit page within the pro dashboard, containing all the functionality that would be available on a per product basis in the back end (minus the ability to create global add-ons). I was planning on uploading this plugin to the WordPress repository, however, I have just found this forum thread and notice that you may be planning on building an extension in the future to do this. I was wondering, would you be interested in selling my plugin through your marketplace to save yourself some development time? Feel free to drop me an email at [email protected].
Thanks,
James.Hey James! Shoot me a demo copy of your plugin! [email protected] — I want to see how it works! If it looks good, we’re about to add a few other plugins to our paid plugin area, and yours would make a nice addon. We can chat there via email.
I hope the private posts aren’t asking what i’m asking but..
Does this automatically add a custom field to every product? or can vendors select whether or not this field appears on their individul products, i.e. an option on the add/edit product page.
Hello,
No– no options.
This adds a field on the product page that the customer can use to add a message of some kind for the vendor. There are no options for vendors to customize this at all. I wrote this so that the option was available if some admin would like the option on their site for extra info (customizing like initials, added info for the product.. special instructions) message box to be available so a customer can enter a message for the seller that will then appear on the checkout/cart and orders page for the vendor to see.
I actually have a better version of this code here: (this would go in your theme/child theme functions.php file)
https://gist.github.com/fervous/ffac7ed154a4287414ea2da675cbdc17Hi Anna
No, I get the purpose of the field. It’s just that not all mu vendors provide personalisation on their products, so it might be confusing for customers ordering non-personalised products to have this field appear. Hence, wondering if vendors could choose to add this field ti theiir product or not.
Ooh thanks! I haven’t used your original code yet, but i’ll get on with using this one and maybe I can figure out the code for what i’m trying to achieve.
@tandej
At this time, we do not have this built into the admin in Pro.. this is just an added code snip that I provided.. so there is not an option for vendors to include this or not include it.
One thing may be to change the placeholder to say something like: ” include a message to the seller…(optional)”
