Or can I make that override in the “custom thank-you page” setting under the Admin Membership settings >> General ?

Would I use a certain shortcode that would display the “thank-you page” that looks like the thank-you page generated by the “vendor registration” template

I see. thanks for pointing that out. I see those short codes now on two pages.

Is that welcome page determined by what page is selected in the Admin Membership settings >> General >> “Custom Plan Page”

ohhhh I love that! This would be amazing! Thanks for the reference.

Great suggestion! Hopefully this can be in the an added premium plugin/or integration!

I agree this feature is a valuable marketplace feature and leverages the core advantages of a marketplace in the first place.

Hi Sushobhan,

I was using that wild card also but I can assure you I have tried many renditions and testing in trying to verify the issue.

Having the update code as you suggested will be awesome. Thanks so much for doing that!

One question – when you say next update. Which plugin are you referring to (just so I can keep an eye out for it)?

[Craig]

Can you please test your system to verify if it works so that the cart will see “V9R 4G3” and “V9R4G3” as the same.
Are you able to get your system to accept the customers postal code regardless of the space with in the postal code in the vendor settings?

I have been running many many many tests to confirm this “space” issue and I’m convinced it is some coding that need to happen within your plugin.

Maybe this will help:

In a previous marketplace plugin I used and had similar issue they needed to do this:

“In the file admin/class-wcvendors-shipping.php lines 824 – 878 is a function called ‘check_postcode’
Replace that function with this one:

https://gist.github.com/digitalchild/ff81b9702b303ea1c13138c740b0f72a

and then some additional code was also required because the above still was not clearing out the space in the postal code:

“WooCommerce puts that space in there on the front end forms. In that same code block replace the first two lines to this

// clean both codes before doing anything to them
$customer_postcode = strtolower( str_replace( ‘ ‘, ”, $customer_postcode ) );
$rate_postcode = strtolower( str_replace( ‘ ‘, ”, $rate_postcode ) );

[Craig]

I have checked and that is not the issue.

See attached screenshots.

Can the system be made so that the cart will see “V9R 4G3” and “V9R4G3” as the same?

100% vote for this as an add on Premium WCFM plugin. You got my sale!

Samiur Rahman do you have any examples of existing plugin as examples? To further flush out the functionality of what this plugin would provide.

Hi Sarmistha Chakraborty,

Thanks for getting back to me. I wonder if this is it.

Here is a screenshot of what the membership redirect page looked like earlier in 2019 (I had this screenshot on file from a different inquiry).
In the attached screenshot below the page url was …../vendor-membership/
(https://www.thrivinglocally.com/vendor-membership/ in my case)

BUT the screenshot I started this thread with the URL is https://www.thrivinglocally.com/?store-setup=yes

Where do the instructions originate for that process to get to the http://www.thrivinglocally.com/?store-setup=yes come from?

I hope I’m making sense.

Ok.
Did any of the recent plugin updates change this?
I ask because the styling changed sometime in the last while.
Or maybe it was a change to my theme account pages?

Thanks for your feedback

[Craig]

these settings might be where that happens?

You might have something configured wrong for this part
“if the very same vendor goes directly (without cancelling subscription first) to my custom membership plan table and buys new membership then he gets it right a way without making any purchase” I have not tested that.

There might be a setting where a “store vendor” account can’t see the membership page which would prevent them from buying a second one before they cancel their current one? When they cancel their account status changes and then they could see the membership page again?

But the changing of membership you describe currently that is my understanding as well (hopefully it will improve as the WC Lovers are always improving their plugin).
Currently the vendor needs to “cancel” their membership and sign up a new one in order to change to a different plan.

Incidentally – cancelling a membership does not cancel the Paypal recurring subscription. See my thread on that here.
https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/membership-plan-not-cancelling-in-paypal-accounts/

I really hope WC lovers are able to improve the “membership changing” and add integrated “paypal subscription payment cancelling” in the near future as this is an important aspect to a membership site.

[Craig]

This is great news. Do you have an instructions page for this?
Or do we simply install the plugin on the marketplace and then tell vendors to install some kind of app (which app?)
on to mobile device like an Ipad
or their computer(using a browser or local installed software?)?
Which then connects to their online shop using their marketplace URL?

[Craig]

Hi thanks for getting back to me.

The “set postal code restrict at vendor setting” is not working correctly and has been logged and is being worked on through support ticket
“Shipping zones not working with CANADA – #48647”
ALSO has been identified and discussed through this thread for that and screenshots
https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/wild-cards-for-postal-codes-shipping-zones/

The issue there is Basically The postal code limiting option does not seem to work for the Vendor. I can set postal code limits at the ADMIN level and the shipping zones work but the zones don’t work when the VENDOR enters the postal code limiting from their vendor dashboard shipping settings.

BUT setting the postal code liits at the ADMIN level means those limits apply to every vendor and that is not correct. For a marketplace with many stores Each vendor should be able to set their own postal code limits.

Please see the attached email conversation with WC Lover support that has yet to be resolved.

BUT To answer your question currently the postal code matching is dependent on if there is or is not a “space” between the code and it should not be dependnat because there is no standard in Canada and everyone does it with or without space so it is causing many incorrect shopping carts.
-Vendor listed Postal Code with the space
-Customer entered postal code without a space

Can the system be made so that the cart will see “V9R 4G3” and “V9R4G3” as the same?

Matti,

Do you know that vendors can change their membership through their dashboard page?

Are you trying to change the membership automatically based on a purchase they made?

[Craig]

I see. That should help the WC Lovers developers know better what you need (I’m not one of them – I’m just a user of their plugins).

I don’t see those widgets on my site (I have a custom built theme) so your question might be theme oriented rather than plugin?

But the WC Lovers will be able to chime in here and confirm.

[Craig]

Do you have a screen shot of what you mean?

[Craig]

that was it!

My “sold by” was unchecked. Once Check then the Store Name and Store slug options were visible to the vendor.

Thanks for your help on this.

[Craig]

Dominique do you have examples of what your intended tab structure would look like?

[Craig]

Hi Sarmistha Chakraborty,

After testing I’m still getting the same issue (no store name or slug) area for vendor to edit.

I deactivated most plugins AND switched over to StoreFront theme

See attached screenshot of the vendor dashboard settings showing no area to edit Store Name or Store Slug

Have you confirmed that you can still see this in the vendor dashboard or did a recent update remove it?

Thanks

Hi Sarmistha Chakraborty – thanks for your attention to this.

The only code snippets I have installed are ones advised by WC lovers for commission settings and changing name of “shipping” to reflect the vendor in the shopping cart in the threads below.

I will do the test you suggest later this evening and report back.

Would those be causing this?

https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/commission-settings-not-working-correctly-please-help-2/

[Craig]

I have confirmed that PayPal recurring billing is NOT being stopped when a membership plan is cancelled or changed.

See screenshot of transaction that just happened today from the membership that was cancelled in the post above.

Is there a plan to fix this?

With a marketplace with 100’s and 1000’s of memberships this would be a very disastrous missing function.

I know that when using the WooCommerce “subscriptions” plugin that the recurring payments created buy a subscription are cancelled in Paypal (so it is possible).

Please advise ASAP as this is am important issue for a membership marketplace.

Hi there,

I wanted to follow up on this as I see this is still not working.

Are you able to advise?
Thanks

[Craig]

Actually further investigation I’m finding some of the notifications are being sent out but don’t seem to be consistent with the account creation process.
-NEW REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION is being sent to admin (it was an issue with SendGrid bounce list)
-“Vendor Welcome” email was sent out a new account was created and applied for a vendor immediately. (I need to verify if this is the same for an existing customer who signed up a while ago and then applies as a vendor because my previous test did not trigger this – it triggered the “membership change” message)

I need to do some further testing so please disregard me message above.

[Craig]

I am experiencing a similar issue. Very few of the notifications are sent out.
(I have my memberships automatically approved)
After testing the only one of the many notifications are being issued (and it seems to be the wrong trigger):

1. The “VENDOR NOTIFICATION” is sent for a membership change BUT this is sent on a NEW vendor signing up (not a changing of membership) so it seems to be the incorrect trigger?

2. None of the “Vendor Welcome” emails are being sent out when a customer signs up as a vendor.

3. NEW REGISTRATION NOTIFICATION is not being sent to admin.

WC Lovers are you able to confirm all of these emails are taking place?

[Craig]

Hi aemr45,

Thanks for taking the time to add your suggestion. I’m definitely going to check out Storeprp! as an enhancement to shipping.
Adding all the regions sound like a rather monumental task…but hey if that is what I need to do…
I love the option to real time shipping costs.

I have a couple of questions:

1. For the multi-vendor features they indicate a prerequisite that “Dokan Multi vendor plugin is already installed on your WooCommerce Store” – is this true or are you using only the WC lovers plugins? (I don’t use that plugin currently).

2. How may vendors do you plan on accommodating? My marketplace is designed to accommodate 1000’s of vendors (local small businesses similar to ETSY). The task you described “I will ask my vendors to tell me their shipping needs, for example, local shipping flat rate, local pick up available or not, and especial flat rates for cities near by. Then I will add them to specific rules.” sounds like the set up for each vendor will take some time and attention – When you are adding those shipping needs for each vendor has it been onerous?

3. The Storeprp plans are based on the number of ordered full fulled. Do you know if orders of Virtual products not shipped (or pick up in store) attribute to that plan threshold?

Again thanks for your advice (although I really hope WC lovers can update their shipping integration as well)
