    Hi there,

    I am currently designing a website that should end up with the following functionality:

    1) A kind of Marketplace / Fair where people can post eBooks and Events (for now). Vendors can sign up to publish their Events or eBooks, or I can set people up with an account and publish things for them.

    2) I would like the multivendor plugin to enable me to either a place set amount or a percentage depending for every event.

    Now I have done quite extensive research and have decided on a combination of OpenTickets and WC Vendors. As far as I can find out these two plugins treat the ‘add product’ pages of WooCommerce nearly identical and they’re both well supported as well 🙂 Also OpenTickets seems to be one of the few plugins with some other functionalities such as multi-day events and different spaces within a venue.

    When I was looking for an answer to these questions I found this page but it seemed to end inconclusively…

    I guess there is only one way to find out and that is to install both plugins and try it out. But before I spend hours/days trying to make something work that won’t, I thought I’d ask it here first.

    Do you see any reason why OpenTickets wouldn’t work with WC Vendors? The answer for number 1 I assume is going to be ‘try and find out’ ^_^ But number 2? Using WC Vendors, can you set specific prices for individual products? I couldn’t find that in the documentation.

    With regards,
    Bram

    Hi Bram,

    You’ll have to be the test case! I’ve never used that plugin suite, have never tested it. Would it work with WC Vendors? I don’t know. Does the “Open Tickets” work with WooCommerce? If it does, then WC Vendors would be able to process commissions for it. You’ll just have to do your own homework on this one. 🙂 Feel free to report back with what you found after tinkering with it as that helps anyone else searching for the same answers.

    Cheers

    Cheers for the fast reply! Opentickets is build on the WooCommerce platform so I assume they are compatible. I’ll install both and report how they work together.

    Whoops, I missed out one thing when I was reviewing Opentickets. It doesn’t support front-end submission. Which is a requirement. Might it be that I’ve read through the documentation of about 15 plugins in the last two days? ^_^

    I kept on searching and found GAM Event Manager instead. This does support frontend submissions out of the box and it should work perfectly for what I need.

    I have one question that remains unanswered: is it possible to add fees of different kinds to different products using WC Vendors? So lets say a static fee to one product and a commision to another?

    I’ll start testing soon.

    Sure, you can edit the product in wp-admin, and scroll down where you select the product type. You’ll see a “Commission” stub there, and can set that products commission rates any way you like! 🙂

    WC Vendors checks:

    – The Product — If a commission rate is set on the product, it uses that first. Priority #1.

    – The vendor — If a vendors user edit screen has been configured to give the vendor a commission rate, it uses that. Priority #2.

    – Your WC Vendors Commission settings – If #1, and #2 are not found, we use the global commission rate set on your WC Vendors settings tabs. Priority #3.

    Perfect, exactly what I wanted!
