Hi Anna,
Do you know if WCVPro will work with woocommerce product fees? It’s a lightweight plugin that allows you to input additional fees at checkout. I want my vendors to be able to put in additional fees if necessary and need them to be able to do it on the front end.Hello,
It may work, yes— BUT it would very likely not actually submit the additional fees to the vendor. It would send the fees to the admin (you!).The tricky thing about configuring many plugins with wc vendors, is that as far as woocommerce can tell, each order is a SINGLE order/cart. So, woocommerce doesn’t recognize the separation of VENDOR or a vendor product being a different order. Things are dealt with on a per product basis and as far as woocommerce is concerned, the ADMIN of the site is the owner and seller of every product on the site. A cart order is just that- the cart. The order.
This is also what has made the shipping configuration with vendors so difficult to program.Therefore, in your case– order for this fees plugin to work, something would need to be coded in to “tell” it to recognize the vendor and vendor’s products as needing special actions so that the fees will be sent to that vendor. Otherwise, the fess from this plugin will all go to the ADMIN.
How to do this? I am not sure. I will do some looking to see how this *might* be done. It will be a custom job- I’m not sure how extensive yet until I’ve looked around a bit to see how some work was done on other plugins to achieve something similar. 🙂
Anna,
Actually, that setup is perfect for my site. I act as the “escrow” if you will and want to keep the deposit(extra fee) secure until the transaction is complete between the vendor and their customer and all went well. If so, the deposit gets returned to the customer. If all does not go well, it gets sent to the vendor. The thing I am most concerned about is that I need the vendor to be able to set the deposit amount on the front end. Any thoughts on that working fine with WCVPro?If you need the funds to go directly to you, as you’ve explained.. then you would need to integrate the field or submission for the product fee(deposit) into the product add/edit template that the vendor will use to add the product.
This will require some custom code to bring into the front end forms.
You can download this free integration to look over and see how the auctions plugin was integrated into WC Vendors Pro.
I am not certain what all will be involved in integrating this plugin to work on the front end of wc vendors pro. If you find that you need help, we often recommend codeable.io for custom work.
