Fabulous, thanks!

Now I can use the Members masonry/list to display my vendors alongside other members:

Or via a menu just display vendors of a certain type:

And I can stop stressing about how to style the vendor list!

Cheers

Thanks, Anna! So this will work using the WC Vendors Pro ‘vendor’ classification, rather than custom member types? Rather than calling all of my vendors ‘Vendors’ I’m sub-classifying into types of vendor, which is why the colour highlight will be useful. Ultimately I’m looking to use this approach to replace the current ‘store list’ which is a bit clunky and needs a lot of re-styling, whereas using a list ‘BuddyPress’ style fits in better with the rest of the site.

I’ll give this a go and report back.

After a bit of testing, yes it does seem that if set at the vendor level through the dashboard, the flat rate works as it should. Multiple product variants, multiple different products … flat rate stays the same.

I’m still not completely sure which settings are required from that list, I just put the flat rate in all of them and tick any box that limits the shipping cost! But the fact it works is good.

At minimum I can now proceed with finalising launch and either instruct vendors or manually access their dashboard for them to set it up. Obviously the ideal would be for the admin function to work as it should …

Thanks for following up

Hi Anna

I may have misunderstood your last response, but I can’t see any way to change the Shipping settings to a flat rate setup (as below) from the admin side, only in the Vendor Dashboard. Am I missing something, or is this approach really only possible if each Vendor applies the settings themselves?

To re-clarify – I want to set this up as a rule across all vendors, all products, all states. I don’t want the vendors to have anything to do with shipping rates/approaches.

Can you help me to set this as default?

THanks

It appears that this plugin is undergoing something of a transformation. The features they list as being available in the FREE version are now suddenly only available in Pro, at a cost of $199 (promo discount of 50% so $99). It was nifty to add the dashboard to the buddypress profile but without the ability to add products (a PRO feature now), fairly useless.

Even if I was willing to pay the $99 I wouldn’t until it’s been tested and proven some more as everything seems to be in a bit of a mess.

So learning for others looking at this, don’t be fooled by the ‘FREE’ option. It’s a $99-$199 plugin that only adds a little ‘slickness’ to the process.

Actually as a follow up … can I set those default flat fee shipping rules from the admin side and disable shipping options for the vendor? Otherwise I’ll need to instruct every vendor to enter the details exactly as above.
