Hi Ben, another pre-sales question…
Can I use Stripe on this context?
– user designs t-shirt and publishes to marketplace
– client buys t-shirt on marketplace and gets charged
– commission is paid to user/designer
– commission is paid to supplier who manufactured t-shirtthanks
Hi Alexandre,
Commissions are paid to the vendor, yes, and then the admin keeps the rest. If you’re trying to pay 3 people total for commissions on one single product (you the admin, the vendor, and the supplier) then WC Vendors will not work for you, without some custom coding of commissions.
Cheers
After this summer is over we can look into doing things like that. We are still building core Pro features, many integrations, and working on rewriting WC Vendors Free for v2.0 with a pile of upgrades there, too. I like the idea of this feature, but it comes at a disadvantage since you’re one of 3 people who have ever asked for it, out of about 14,000 websites that use our software.
You COULD hire a PHP developer, and customize the stripe gateway to do things differently, though. That would probably be your best bet. It might not be cheap either, I’d bet you get quotes for $750-$1500 to do the work (USD). But once it’s done, it’s done, and your marketplace is ready to rock.
Cheers
I will start my MVP with only 2 commissions only, because pausing that amount is out of reach for me atm.
Would be great to have this setup on your plugin, as far as I know Stripe supports it…
best!
Is it possible to have certain categories be commission based while others are fixed price. Example someone selling products would be based off commissions, while someone who is listing a service or something that might be sold in a person to person transaction would just pay a flat listing fee. Looking to distinguish between the two. Said person could be selling products but also have a service they are trying to list that you would not be able to take a commission of as this transaction would be taking place in person.
Sure. You can use a commission filter, like this one:
https://gist.github.com/bentasm1/2c4ebbd74f65166fc78d
In that example, it will pay one rate for downloads, another rate for physical products, so you’d have to tweak the code there yourself to check the category and assign the right commissions as you see fit. When you use a commission filter like this, it has the highest priority, and it is the only commission setting that WC Vendors will use, all of your plugin settings for commissions are completely ignored as this is the king of the castle. 🙂
