Hi Ben,
I’m not very good at PHP coding yet and it sounds like something you know how to do very easily and I would rather it be done right. Is this something you would be interested for custom coding? Would it take only an hour? Let me know and I will send you more info/details to your email like before.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Ben,

I’m trying work through this and wanted to see if you see something obviously wrong with either of the two different methods I tried.
Background…
First my global commission settings is “Percentage” with 90 (ie 90%) goes to the vendor. This split is working correctly and displayed via paypal express checkout. Im testing in the paypal sandbox
Next, Im trying to change this commission setting based on the vendor’s PMPro membership level.

First thing I tested was using the code example(to play with this filter like you suggested) above just to see if it changed….tried the fixed dollar amount plus commission code. No split shows up in paypal express checkout, but then removed this code and changed the global commission settings to “percentage +fee” and this worked. Assuming the sample code is not needed anymore to accomplished the same thing in the current version of WC Vendors Pro. Is that correct?

Next, I set my global commission settings back to “Percentage” with 90 (ie 90%) goes to the vendor and added the following code to try to get the commission rate to change based on Pmpro membership level, but the splits don’t show up anymore (ie, no commission is going to the vendor) for either of these two methods. Any ideas????

* Changing the commission rate to vendor based on the vendors membership level */
add_filter( ‘wcv_commission_rate’, ‘my_wcv_commission_rate’, 10, 6 );
function my_wcv_commission_rate( $commission, $product_id, $product_price, $order, $level_id, $user_id ) {
if($level_id == 1)
{
return;
}
elseif($level_id == 2)
{
// Want membership level 2 to match the global commission settings
$commission = 90;
return $commission;
}
elseif($level_id == 3)
{
// Want membership level 3 to have commission of 95 percent going to vendors
$commission = 95;
return $commission;
}
}

The other way I tried was…..

add_filter( ‘wcv_commission_rate’, ‘my_wcv_commission_rate’, 10, 6 );
function my_wcv_commission_rate( $commission_rate, $product_id, $product_price, $order, $level_id, $user_id ) {
if($level_id == 1)
{

return;
}
elseif($level_id == 2)
{
// Want membership level 2 to match the global commission settings
$commission_rate = 90;
return $commission_rate;
}
elseif($level_id == 3)
{
// Want membership level 3 to have commission of 95 percent going to vendors
$commission_rate = 95;
return $commission_rate;
}
}

Note: was also using this code for ideas, https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/paid-membership-solution/

Thanks.

This might be another dumb idea, but since we can manually change a users “commission rate (%)” in that user’s “profile” and this will override the global settings, is it possible to assign value to commission rate like below?

Just like I can change the user role from subscriber to vendor or vice versa in this code, could I add a line like: $wp_user_object->set_commission_rate(’50’);
to change the percentage rate for that user to 50% and override the global default commission rate?

function my_pmpro_after_change_membership_level($level_id, $user_id)
{
//get user object
$wp_user_object = new WP_User($user_id);

//ignore admins
if(in_array(“administrator”, $wp_user_object->roles))
return;

if($level_id == 1)
{
//New member of level #1. Give them Vendor role.
$wp_user_object->set_role(‘vendor’);
}
elseif($level_id == 2)
{
//New member of level #2. Give them Vendor role.
$wp_user_object->set_role(‘vendor’);
}
elseif($level_id == 0)
{
//Cancelling. Give them Subscriber role.
$wp_user_object->set_role(‘subscriber’);
}
}
add_action(“pmpro_after_change_membership_level”, “my_pmpro_after_change_membership_level”, 10, 2);

Did I add the update_user_meta line correctly in modifying the code I posted above? Should this work? When I try it, the user role gets changed correctly, but the “Commision Rate (%)” field on the user profile is still blank (instead of showing 50).

elseif($level_id == 2)
{
//New member of level #2. Give them Vendor role.
$wp_user_object->set_role(‘vendor’);
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_wcv_commission_amount’, ’50’ );
}

Ok, I have played around with this a little and I can only get 2 of the 3 to work.

These lines work and show the updates appropriately in the user profile under the “Pro Commission” section. Note, the $user_id variable did not need quotes.
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_wcv_commission_type’, ‘percent_fee’ );
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_wcv_commission_fee’, ‘6’ );

This line I could never get to update. Can you confirm the ‘_wcv_commission_amount’ is correct?
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_wcv_commission_amount’, ’65’ );

spoke too soon….

the meta data was updated in the profile, however when I purchased a product from this user, the global default commission settings were applied and not the commission settings that show up in that vendor’s user profile.

for test example,
my global settings are set for “percentage” only 90/10 split
the individual settings for this vendor is “percent_fee with a 65/35 split and $6 fee

any suggestions?

I got this to work…this problem is solved. Thanks
