also just some more info now i can see private reply option.

we are a retailer, looking to help a few select vendors to get going in biz. our site is https://VWPartsInternational.com

we shall be pushing vendor listings to ebay and amazon perhaps

reason for the invoice question, if none is present, customers will be asking why no invoice, we also want it so its clear the vendor is responsible for sales details, ie we shall keep records of their invoices also.

but and lastly, without the vendor having his own invoice generated, it shall go into our own woocommerce sales records etc. which would then be liable for vat.

as we are only in technical and legal terms being a 3rd party provider so no vat is liable on our part, only on commission, so it would be good if vendor invoices were completely separate along with orders, to the main store.

thanks

thanks for your reply Ben, sounds great 🙂

Pro here we come

so if we have to do it with ‘if author’ as you said above, and (cant be done via what i said is user),

could you give the exact code and which location to place, would be appreciated.

in other words we as the owner and retailer, do not want to be labled as vendor.

sorry this is getting long, but its just this issue to solve and we can go live.

only vendor should show everywhere is ok.

ie; we already have 2,000 products, which we hold in stock.

so any listings by admins,, should not be portrayed as vendor.

in coding terms, im not 100% sure on product loops (ie what that shows). but sounds right still. (i think you get the drift)

thats some code Ben, really appreciate the effort 🙂

iv added it to the child theme functions .php

it cant be far from wrong or iv put it in wrong place ? but somethings a miss as its showing for the admin products also. vendor is showing ok though. (only checking product pages, not anything else as yet)

maybe seeing it may help,

Vendor Product > https://vwpartsinternational.com/shop/test-test/

Admin (store owner Product) > https://vwpartsinternational.com/shop/vw-golf-corrado-vr6-red-10mm-ht-leads-ignition-leads-multi-core-uk-seller/

ok code implemented.

vendor products are fine, its still non vendor, theres only 2 admin user ids, 31 & 5247,

this product is by admin 5247 https://vwpartsinternational.com/shop/vw-audi-seat-skoda-5x-under-tray-clip-exhaust-heat-shield-splash-fixing-clip/

this product by admin 31 https://vwpartsinternational.com/shop/bmw-e46-powerflex-front-wishbone-rear-bush-pff5-4601/

as you can see, the 1st shows sold by vw parts international still and the 2nd still shows sold by.

same in cart etc

heres the code, incase iv missed anything, though i have had a break and recharged so hopefully i havent.

ok cool, il give that a try 🙂

also as for the attributes issue, thats fair enough i had seen a post you done similar, now it makes sense, is there a quick, css hack perhaps we can make until then ?

it wouldnt be the end of the world if not we can still go live, but it looks messy and may put some off.

we had already planned to fill them in ourselves during approval, also as they must be spot on if they get pushed to ebay. so only a very trusted vendor, in future, should have full access perhaps, some attributes are very sensitive.

its still showing sold by vw parts international

my thought was should we be adding vendor ids, but vendor products show the vendor with clickable links and 2 lots of sold by. (sold by: name of vendor, sold by: name of vendor)

admin listings only showing 1 sold by and not clickable, so we are nearly there but somethings still up with code.

heres the our whole child theme functions, not sure if something else is causing it, also theme is storefront.

hi Ben, i did reply on email, please check them many thanks

hi Ben, sorry to ask yet again, any eta on when you may be able to help, an email was sent around 5:30pm today which had yesterdays email attached with overview of what needs doing, should be a 10min job for you guys and we can move on to the next and more urgent project and get another license, obviously i want to get this sorted first though.

many thanks matt

send us a bill then, we already offered to pay for support, we cant just ‘toss’ some money, its business we need a invoice.

also thats a bit unfair, ‘right’ now, iv been patiently waiting and only bumping the issue, due to the fact, im sitting here seeing you reply to umpteen new topics daily, and there for assume like the rest of us, you also work wends, ok i get its sunday i wasnt expecting help there and then, though it would of been nice, i only asked you t ocheck emails, but now its monday.

some support and resolve to the issues, or a eta of when you can help, is all i asked, no need for the remarks.

we have paid for this after all. and from my questions and attempt to install and intergarte, we are stuck.

all we need is the support that was and has been promised. but further more have offered to pay for some help. not sure why this is becoming so difficult.

regards matt
