I think it is standard pricing practice for all wordpress plugins.
They are all purchased on a yearly basis.The nice thing is that after a year it will still keep working but you just don’t get updates.
I think it is a pretty fair funding model as this plugin is the core of my ecommerce site. Without it I would have non-functioning marketplace site.
What would really suck is if the plugin stopped working all together!
We need to support our developers so they stick around and continue to support us.
Other plugins you might get away with not updating but certain ones are going to put your site at more risk which is a business decision you need to make.
Same thing happens on my site but we have yet to uograde to the new WC Vendor and Pro versions as we are working on a major PHP upgrade as well.
@FERVOUS
Hi Anna,I see the upcoming WooCommerce 3.21 has added a “Built in product CSV Import/Export” any ideas if WC Vendors will integrate this so that individual vendors can do this for their shops?
Thanks
Craig@JPKAPINHA
thanks for pointing this out! I have the same issue on my site and have notified my developer hoping that your fix will do the same on my site.Thanks for posting this Joao!
I have not experienced this but have not yet updated to the new version.
What version of wordpress, woocommerce, and WC vendors and vendors Pro are you both using?
@FERVOUS We have not tried yet but fully intend to.
It looks like a pretty easy integration that is not inhibited by the “multi-vendor” aspects of our marketplaces so I have added it to our growing enhancement list but I wanted to check in to see if anyone else has had success with it or found the multi-vendor environment was a deal breaker.
Thanks for your feedback. Once we implement it I will report back.
@CLOTHPADSHOP
We have installed the plugin Wangguard and it allows you to “blacklist” email addresses as well as domain’shttps://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wangguard/
It seems to work pretty well but the developer sounds like they are contemplating whether they will continue to support/develop the plugin.
I have experienced the same issue with changing the date range selection but the CSV does not reflect the same changes.
What is exported with the CSV is only the orders that are first displayed when the “view orders” panel is opened up.
When I change the date range to include a larger range of dates the “view orders” page updates and reflects all the orders within the new date range but the CSV still only exports the orders that are originally displayed with the order screen and not the modified date range.I’m following this for the update.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi Anna,
Can you clarify in the shipping (I know you are just grtting into the testing).
In Pro v1.4.0, is there a setting in the “table rate” shipping to “set a max $ per order/vendor” no matter how many items are ordered from each vendor (for example the $10 you indicate above) in a table/zone identified through a zipcode range.
And this can be different for each vendor (they define those tables/zones through their dashboards?).
My objective is to allow for “local shipping” (in same city as vendor) where a flat fee of say $10 can be charged no matter how much is purchased at once because a local driver does not care how heavy the package is (within reason of course).
Yet a customer form out of town would be charged differently (because they would then use a commercial courier).
Ability to adjust the Shop Banner displayed placement
Does anyone know if there is a way that there can be adjustment function for the vendors to shift their banner around on their shop page like you can with a Facebook banner when you upload it?
I’m thinking this is a long shot because the shop banner is not uploaded by clicking on the banner on the shop page like you do on Facebook….it is uploaded in the shop settings as a file attachment.
I hope I have explained that clearly enough.
Thanks
@fervous
Hi Anna,As detailed by @beforeplastic above I also just discovered that the free shipping option selected for a coupon does not eliminate the shipping charges so I’m very much looking forward to the 1.4 release as well.
These forums are very helpful! Thanks for keeping them active.
@OUATT
I had a similar problem for over a year of searching for the issue and the solution.My solution was actually switching to this WC Vendors plugin! My old multi-vendor plugin was the issue. It was the old Matt Gates version of this plugin that was causing the issue.
On my hunt for the solution there are other variable to check and I would suggest a google search “woocommerce paypal order status changing from pending to cancelled” and see what you find.
I completed some exercises through PayPal as well (I just can nor remember what they were) but all my info I found through various forums.
Sorry not much help on the solution but I’m thinking it is a paypal/woocommerce communication thing.
Oh Anna this enhancement is sounding pretty awesome!
If each vendor can create their own tables based on zip/postal codes then that would be amazing! I’m anxiously waiting for the new release to see what it can do!
Great work to all of you on the WC Vendors team for your awesome work and continued improvements to your plugin. For many of us the “multi-vendor” plugin is vital to our marketplace operations and I hope we can all continue to support you so you can support us.
Thanks again!
@fervous
Anna,When you say that the country table rate would allow
-zip codes
-zip code wildcard
-zip code rangesDoes this mean that a vendor can put in a range of zip codes (like all zipcodes of their city) and then they can assign a separate shipping cost to it?
So any customers withing that zipcode range will then have the appropriate shipping charge applied?AND when you say zipcodes will this also mean postal codes (Canada’s version of Zip Codes)
@thenaturalkind
Cherie,I have no idea but I like that feature. I’m following this thread to see if there is a solution to this.
Elsa @bemvestir and Anna @fervous
I was able to allow my site so that vendors can edit the ‘title’, ‘caption’, ‘alt text’and ‘description’ of their images when they upload or reattach them to product listings.
I have PODS plugin on my site which I use to administer roles and responsibilities of my various account types.
https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/pods/. This plugin was installed by my original developer and I’m not completely sure what other aspects of me site this is overriding so it may not be the solution for yours BUT it might give you a place to start some research or experiments.See the attached screenshot showing the different rolls I administer and then the bottom is a shot inside the “vendor” roll and when I allow the “edit post” check box then the vendor is allowed to edit the ‘title’, ‘caption’, ‘alt text’and ‘description’ of their images.
NOW this being said this is a new change I have made and have not explored if this “edit posts” check box allows vendors to access content that is not their own but so far it has been working well.
@ben
Hi Ben,Thanks for getting c=back to me and sorry for the late response.
I can certainly understand your reasoning if the requests are low. In a round about way we can still offer “tickets” as a product listing…we just need to educate our vendors to “think outside the box”.
Something like this:
http://nanaimo.thrivinglocally.com/product/paint-nite-painting-event/@pbmang
Chris,
The solution you provided above looks very promising!!Question for you – does this allow each vendor to set up shipping charges based on “distance” using postal/zip codes?
For example:
Vendor can set up a “local delivery” (something delivered in the same city – identified through postal/zip codes) – lets say $6.00
and then one cost for the rest of the country? – lets say $20.00So if the customer’s shipping address is in the postal code range that the vendor defined as “local” then they get charged the $6.00 and when a customer is outside of that Local range then they are charged the $20.00
@saturnO15
@ebookgiantThanks for your help and contribution to this forum. Superstars!
I can do enough coding to make me dangerous..lol…but your fix was a very easy one.
Thanks again for fixing this Paypal issue.
@digitalchild Jamie,
Would this potentially mean that (non-US) customers could not split up cart payments between multiple vendors in the shame shopping cart.
So we would have to restrict it to one vendor per cart then?
@fervous Anna thanks for that feedback on the shop page setting. I will look into it further but when I change that setting to me homepage then my homepage lost its slider. So I put the setting back to empty and I’m back to normal. Perhaps it is something my custom theme developer coded around?@fervous thanks for that Anna. I noticed that too but everything seems to work fine. what should that be set to?
I just did a quick search of the knowledgebase but did not see anything about the shop base setting.
What @saturn015 Saturn015 posted worked for me on my development server! and the paypal payment works just as it did.
“I changed the paypal url in WCV to use a “?” in the following file (right at the bottom):
wc-vendors/classes/gateways/PayPal_AdvPayments/paypal_ap.php”Saturn015….question for you. did you change BOTH of the “&” to a “?”. see my attached screenshot. I did and paypal works BUT it paypal screen seems to do some kind of quick refresh upon the initial redirect before allowing me to make the payment (log in screen of paypal).
@ben I’m assuming if this is the fix that a patch will be released?
I get the same thing.
Logged into to paypal – payment works
Logged out of paypal – sends to paypal homepageThis appeared in the last couple of days. It thought it was a temporary glitch but it has continued to be a problem.
I’m going to try what @saturn015 has done to see if that works

https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/custom-fields-to-shop-settings-page/Hi Sarah,
I had the same problem for the “pending vendor” when the account is redirected to /dashboard/
BUT if I used /dashboard/?terms=1 then the footer is displayed below the “apply to be a vendor” button. Basically adding the “?terms=1” after “/dashboard/” did the trick for me.
I hope this helps.

Hi Chris,
Did you find a solution to the auto parent selection or the breadcrumb?
I am looking for a solution to the auto selection of the parent categories I would love to hear if you found one.
Thanks
CraigI have found an “almost” solution but it takes a couple of steps.
Step 1 – go to wp-admin panel
>>filter all the products of the vendor you want to hide
>>bulk edit the products
>>change the “status” to DRAFT and save changes to all their productsStep 2 – change the status of the vendor account to “customer”
Then to turn back on? perfrom the above in REVERSE order.
BUT ONE ISSUE – this might be on my site only but if I use the search function the listings will show up in the search results and they can still be purchased….so my solution is not yet 100%
I think you can disregard this post as once I pushed the updates to my LIVE server the error doesn’t show up. It is only showing up on my TESTING and DEVELOPMENT server some some reason.
Jamie @digitalchild
We are working out the custom code integration for the collections but I do have a question on the catagories and the parent – child relationship.
Using the WC Pro product editior when I select a catagory the parent catagories are not automativcally selected. Is there a way to make that happen?
So that when a child category is selected the parents of that selected category are also selected?
In the example of the attached screen shot.
If I select “bracelets” then the parent categories “Accessories” “Apparel & Accessories” and “Products” are also selected. The vendor can of course removed them, but I think that for the most part, our users want parent categories to be selected when child categories are.Any ideas on this? Have you run into this before?
Thanks a bunch
Thanks Jamie @digitalchild
Opps! I have been assuming that the “collections” was a base WooCommerce feature as it was there since the system was handed over to me. Are you indicating that this is probably a plugin/coding that was added to me site?
BUT if the “collections” taxonomies is a base WooCommerce feature that just has not made it to the WC Vendors panel are you able to point me into a direction where to find and example of the taxonomies integration code? If this is a common integration. If it is not no worries I can put this onto my new developer.
I have added a screen shot.
Thanks!
Diane,
@dkelmWe are successfully using the compatible plugin “WC Multiple Packages” to only apply the one charge per vendor in the cart no matter how much a customer purchased from that vendor – we discovered this plug-in in this thread https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/solution-shipping-per-vendor/#post-37052)
@gsh2000
Gary here are the screenshots from the WooCommerce Follow-ups plugin that I use which has a great feature for sending auto generated coupon codes triggered from a purchase of a specified product.BUT as stated in my earlier post these are “woocommerce” codes not WC Vendor codes that cause that paypal error.
Do you think the WooCommerce Extended Coupon has this kind of functionality?
I sent the developers of that plugin a message of the same question.@gsh2000
Garry this looks like a great solution! Thanks for adding your comments.I also see that the pro version of WooCommerce Extended Coupon allows for single use coupons which is an important aspect to my promotions.
Garry – Do you have a work-around for notifying the Vendor when a coupon is used so that they are not wondering why their payment does not match their shop order?
I’m looking to create a listing for a “gift certificate” that is site wide an can be applied to any shop that a customer can purchase and then the successful sale of the product triggers an email with the automated coupon code to them. This would be restricted to a 1 time use coupon for the amount of the Gift Certificate product that they purchased.
Hi @fervous
I’m excited to hear the 1.4 update is coming along very well and look forward to the possible enhancements.
This is what I’m hoping we can do on my site.
1. We offer a “local shipping” service if a purchase is made between a customer and a vendor that reside within the same zone.
2. If the customer is outside that zone then the “vendor shipping costs” detailed in their dashboard/listing details are applied.As far as I can tell woocommerce seems to use our main address as the “base” for the zone creation when we use the local shipping option. Which is soon to be phased out of WooCommerce with their new shipping tables. But these shipping tables seems to still use the zip code of our main site to determine the
We want to create different “zones” (or cities) so that if a purchase is made between a customer and a vendor that reside within the same zone then the “local shipping” charge kicks in but if they are in different zones then the vendor defined shipping charges kick in.
In zone 1 (City 1) we define a local shipping charge of $6 per vendor added to cart
In zone 2 (City 2) we define a local shipping charge of $6 per vendor added to cart
In zone 3 (City 3) we define a local shipping charge of $6 per vendor added to cartIf customer and vendor are both in zone 1 then the defined local shipping charge is added to cart.
If the customer is in a different zone than the vendor then the vendor defined shipping charge is added.And do you think the 1.4 version will allow for this to happen?
Hi @ben
I am recieving the same error detailed above by Karen @Conscious Crafties
Error ID: 580022. Invalid request parameter: amount must be greater than zero
Error ID: 580022. Invalid request parameter: payKey cannot be nullAnd then discovered this thread so this has been very helpful to find out that I can not use the “woocommerce” generated coupons.
I use the WC Vendor Pro plugin (love it) and also use the WooCommerce Follow-ups plugin to send automated follow emails abd then started to use the follow-ups plugin to generate automatic coupon codes but those codes generated must be “WooCommerce coupon codes” because they produce that error when trying to transact through PayPal.
I was using the follow-up plugin to auto-generate a coupon code when the customer purchased a listing we have as a “site wide gift certificate”. This was a very slick way to generate a one time unique code automatically for a specific discount ($20 gift certificate for example).
But as I discovered this only works for generating “woocommerce coupon codes” not “WC Vendor coupon codes”.
Questions:
1. Any thoughts on how we can auto-generate a coupon code “site wide” (that can be applied to all vendors – yes I realize this requires an additional admin process to reconcile that coupon code process).
2. Any thoughts on how we can auto-generate a coupon code “per vendor” so that a vendor can create a “gift certificate” type listing and then that would automatically generate a “WC Vendor coupon code”?.Thank
Craig@digitalchild Hi Jamie,
I’m loving your PRO pluging so far. Awesome work!
I just wanted to check in to see if you have any further news on the 1.4 release.My Main interest in this update is in the shipping options that you eluded to.
(Unless there is an extension that you know about that would allow for this kind of a set up that I will describe below).We have (will have) regional sites defined by city and/or postal codes. For example City1, City2, City3
(right now we are only 1 site definedWe want to offer “local shipping” in each regional site so that as long as the customer and the vendor are in the same site/zone then the local shipping charge would apply to the order.
for example: Customer is in City1 AND Vendor is in City1 then the local shipping charge is applied
AND then if that condition (customer and the vendor are in the same site/zone) is not met THEN the vendor shipping would apply.
for example: Customer is City1 and Vendor is in City2 then the vendor shipping rate is applied (as defined in the vendor dashboard)This is to allow for a “local” shipping rate (per order) and an “out of town” shipping rate (per product/per order as defined by the vendors shipping dashboard).
Does that make sense?
I did find this plug-in “WooCommerce Advanced Shipping” which gets down to conditional of the “City” but my suspicion is that its condition looks at only the customer city and not BOTH the vendor and the customer or if it is just the customer.
https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-advanced-shipping/8634573Just so you know for our local “per order/vendor” shipping charge to apply
– one vendor involved in the cart: local shipping will be $
– two vendors involved in the cart: local shipping will be $x2
– three vendors involved in the cart: local shipping will be $x3
… and so on …
we are successfully using the compatible plugin “WC Multiple Packages” to only apply the one charge per vendor in the cart no matter how much a customer purchased from that vendor – we discovered this plug-in in this thread https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/solution-shipping-per-vendor/#post-37052)
BUT this only works for one “region”.@Asportsman I’m looking to implement something similar but have not yet researched it much so I will be curious on the feedback you get back.
It would also be helpful if there was a “most used” filter as the majority of vendors are going to be setting up listings that are almost always in the same categories. I think this would be a useful feature as well.
@jjoly this thread may be of use as well. I was considering the “multi-site” route but feel this thread explains a better option.
@clothpadshop
I just upgraded to the Pro Version about a week ago to our existing site.I had yet to try out the coupon function and after reading this forum I experimented and all seemed to work ok with previously created listings (before WC Vendors was installed as well – I was using a different plugin before) as well as listings created after the upgrade.
All of these listings were created before the coupon was created.
I DID have to refresh my cart to see the coupon application results though.
I do not think I am getting the same coupon issue you explained?
@digitalchild this sound like great news!
Any idea on your timeline for the release of 1.4.0. Is it likely to be this year? or spring of 2017?
We just purchased the pro-version and are in the process of updating the free version and working in all the new templates that are offered in that version and taking your advice on the multi-site comments.
As we evolve our single site hopefully we can become a resource for the forums as well.
We are very happy with the WC Vendors plugin and the continued support and added functionality is exciting and reassuring as a “critical” plugin to our marketplace.
Hi Jamie (aka @digitalchild)
Any thoughts to my last question around the shipping?
Is there a way to group postal codes so that when a vendor and a customer are within a determined set of postal codes (representing a city) then a local shipping charge would apply.
And another set of postal codes (representing a second city) where a different customer and vendor within that set of postal codes then a local shipping charge would apply.
And another set of postal codes (representing a third city)
etc
Or will we need to build something custom for this?
I very much appreciate your advice on this multi-site issue. It is all extremely valuable.
I do have a question around shipping. As you know often the most complicated of these multi-vendor marketplaces.
Our site is all about “shopping local” and we provide a flat fee “local shipping” rate “per vendor” thst is involved in the cart (no matter how many unit from the vendor are ordered). This local shipping uses uses postal/zip codes to determine if the local shipping is going to be applied depending on the customer address.
for example:
– one vendor involved in the cart: shipping will be $6
– two vendors involved in the cart: shipping will be $12
– three vendors involved in the cart: shipping will be $18
… and so on …Using the WC Vendors free version we solved with the compatible plugin “WC Multiple Packages” we discovered in this thread https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/solution-shipping-per-vendor/#post-37052
Do you have any suggestion on how to do that in the setup you are proposing because the postal/zip codes entered are “per site”.
Thanks for all your feedback I’m delighted of this new path you have created for my site.
Brilliant advice @digitalchild!
I will review this with my developer as this seems like a much simpler way to go at this point. There are a few other aspects to our site I will have to consider I’m sure but at the outset this seems like a great path to pursue.
We do not take any commissions. We only charge a monthly/yearly fee.
I appreciate all of your advice Jamie and will e looking into this path and look forward to upgrading to the pro-version in September
Very useful advice. I will look over the taxonomy concept vs. the multisite. Anything that is less of a nightmare I’m all ears!
This is getting a bit off topic but in each regional site we have a “director” running it who gets paid by 50% of the shop subscription fee. Using the taxonomy concept is there a way that you see that we can determine the vendors (by region) that are paying their monthly/yearly subscription rate (they get the first two months free) (we use a subscription plugin for that) so that we can pay each regional director based on the number of paying vendors?
Perhaps there is a reporting function that will allow us to report the subscriptions based on the region of the vendor (as long as we ask that type of information at the subscription activation)?
Many thanks for your advice on this.
Thanks for your prompt @digitalchild
Just so I’m clear
We have our main site http://www.thrivinglocally.com and we will have subdomains such as:
http://www.nanaimo.thrivinglocally.com
http://www.victoria.thrivinglocally.com
http://www.comox.thrivinglocally.com
http://www.cowichan.thrivinglocally.com
etc.Would we require the site licence for each one of those or would the single licence for http://www.thrivinglocally.com cover them all?
Are you also saying that the WC Vendors plug-in does not work properly if we go to multi-site? Right now we have the free version (we moved over from the Matt Gates version to yours). Are you indicating that both the free version and the pro version will not work if we go to multi-site?
Thanks for all your feedback. I very much appreciate it.
Hi there,
I’m considering upgrading to the ProVersion but we are also going to mutisite.Do we need an individual $149 licence for each sub-domain site? If so do you have a pricing feature like I see on many plugins like this
One site = $149
Up to 5 sites = $200
up to 25 sites = $300
etcThanks,
@marco.marsala I’m installing the “multiple packages” plugin over the next 2 days and will update in this forum how it goes.
It sounds like the solution may are looking for to be able to implement a shipping “cost per vendor” in the shopping cart to allow multiple vendors involved in the same transaction for the shipping charges to accumulate based on the total number of vendors.
Thanks for posting this solution.
