Im a little stuck.. cant decide if i want to do this but what would be a reason not to let my vendors use paypal and force them to use stripe.. Ive never heard of stripe until i started building on wordpress, i feel like im going to have a difficult time persuading my users to sign up for a service theyve never heard of to receive funds… If im correct they are required to open a stripe account to receive instant payouts if i have that checked in my wc vendors settings?
I swear every third topic here is created by you.
You are concerned your vendors will be scared to have Stripe pay them? Is this really serious? What happens if you told the customers to take your check drawn from Wells Fargo bank? Would they say “OMG WHO IS THIS BANK AND WHAT IS THIS TREE PAPER YOU ARE PAYING ME WITH??”
It’s a payment gateway dude. They are obviously safe and secure. Who cares if you havent heard of it. Who cares if your vendors havent either. They are freaking huge and you are creating drama for zero reason about this.
How you convince your vendors not to be scared wussies and to get paid for free by Stripe is up to you. This entire topic is not WC Vendors material.
If you read the documentation for the Stripe gateway all of the actual answers will be pretty obvious too. 🙂
Please, think, read, think some more. We’re here to help, but come on man.
savage answer.. i like it.. if you had chat i wouldnt have to waste my time making wasteful posts.. id make wasteful chat conversations.
here ill make it about wcvendors……… what code can i add to the “prevent listing if no stripe account is connected” code in order to require both paypal and stripe… yes i saw it in another post, but it was tailored to that users site..
Ryan,
You’d like to require BOTH paypal and Stripe?
Or just Stripe?
If Both…. This is for BOTH paypal and Stripe- it will prevent the vendor from being able to list a product if both the PayPal token and Stripe key are not found. They must enter both.
This requires a modification to the product-edit.php template.
You’d move that file to your theme/child theme following these instructions:
https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/changing-vendor-templates/Then make these modifications. Code needs to be added to the beginning and then end of that template page:
Here’s the gist by itself:
https://gist.github.com/fervous/fd4fac31eaea482679b83665c28c3a4bIf I’ve misunderstood your question or you need help, let me know.
I offer only Stripe on my own marketplace. My marketplace is fledgling, presently, but so far, I have only had a few concerns about Stripe from Vendors. Questions, mainly. They ask about PayPal- and I am glad to explain some of the reasons why we have made the choice to only offer Stripe instead of Paypal. Most of them find Stripe to be so easy they wonder if they made an error somewhere in signing up. It is a breath of fresh air after dealing with PayPal.
I understand your concern, being as PayPal is ubiquitous- but that is about all PayPal has going for it. Stripe actually is becoming more and more known. It’s biggest limitation is that vendors have to bank or reside in one of the Stripe supported countries; but you can accept payments form almost any currency or location: https://stripe.com/global
I honestly do not think it will affect your marketplace signups much if you were to only offer Stripe or require Stripe. Just sell it to your vendors- let them know how awesome it is. 😉
I think the general concensus on PayPal is that they are just terrible for customer service, very buyer friendly, anti seller, arbitrary in their rules, etc. If you google “paypal sucks” there’s a couple million articles or so
oh i see.. so basically i can use code to require stripe before listing, or use the code you provided to require paypal and stripe.. is there code to require at least 1 or the other ( let me rephrase, to prevent listing unless atleast 1 payment option is listed in vendor account, not force one or another)? I guess im a little confused.. maybe this is a bad example and im relying on ben to tell me everything wrong with this post.. but say i require stripe, and paypal is only another option for vendors.. and a customer comes through and wants to pay will their paypal account, not a credit card.. but that vendor hasnt added a paypal email.. the customer will still see the paypal checkout option? or is that only generated when the vendor enters a valid paypal email in their shop dash..
Ryan..
I do not know how, right off the top of my head, how I can make this code to require one or the other.. but I will check. there is likely to be a way, I will just have to look into it. Or you can. 😀If you have a vendor that has only entered Stripe, for example, and the customer pays via paypal for an order that contains products from that vendor, then funds for the products sold from that vendor will all go to the admin’s paypal account. You’d then have to work out a way to transfer/send the due commissions from those products to your vendor. (due commissions shown here: wp admin > woocommerce > commission). If there are other vendors’ products in that order who do have paypal entered, the funds will be correctly allocated to them at checkout.
If a vendor only had paypal entered, but a customer buys a product from them and checks out via Stripe, then funds would all go to the admin’s Stripe account. Same as above- other vendors with products in that order who DO have Stripe would receive their funds at checkout. You would then, again need to work out a way to transfer or send the due commission to your vendor who does not have Stripe. Likely in this case you’d transfer via PayPal.
i think in a situation where i dont have the team to monitor commissions and discuss transferring funds to each vendor it would be best to require both.. although itd be nice to have the code to require one or another… let me know what you find thanks
