Hi,
I was wondering if I can sell products to vendors only ?
Vendors can still sell their products via their shop, but also buy some specific product from me.
My products would only be visible to logged-in vendors ? I could add a tab to the Pro Dashboad of the vendor that would redirect the vendors to my shop ?Any idea ?
Thank you
Marc
Marc,
To do this .. one option may be to use Groups + WooCommerce Groups…
Assign a “group” to your vendors..
Only allow members of that “group” to purchase your product.Anna, @fervous
thank you.
What would be the url of my shop ? http://www.mywebsite.com/shop/ ?cheers,
@marc.bovet
If you add products as admin, then your products will not have a special url like the vendors. You will not have a store, so to speak. Your products will just show up in the marketplace…
If you make yourself a vendor account, you call your store whatever you want and you will have a store like the other vendors. You will want to list using the back-end though- or go back and modify your product listings later as admin in the wp admin product screen (or I guess you could use the WC Vendors free dashbaord also) – so you can use whatever tool to limit the purchasing capability of that product. The fields for the woocommerce groups will not show up in the WC Vendors Pro product add/edit form.Another idea: if you do not want to make a vendor store for your products, but you do not want them to get lost within the marketplace without a way for the vendors to easily find your products, you could use a special category just for your own products — then restrict it so the regular vendors cannot add products in that category.
You can omit the category for the vendors by going to: wp admin > woocommerce > wc vendors > product form…. HIDE CATEGORIES and enter the numeric ID of the category.To find the numeric code for the category… go to: wp admin > products > categories and click EDIT on the category. Look at the URL now… you will see something like this: product_cat&tag_ID=188
that ID=188 … the category numeric ID is: 188
