Hello Shivv,

Thank you so much for your fast response!
The pleasure is all mine, I’m very happy to see this level of implication in your product. It shows that you trust your product and services.

Yes, you got that right. Synchronizing vendor location and product location would be a great add.

Step 1: A vendor already add his store location from the dashboard
Step 2: The vendor creates a product from his dashboard
Step 3: If any of the suported geolocation plugins are installed, he now has the option to set an address for that product
Step 4: He finds the address field already auto filled with the location he has set in his store setting initially
Step 5 (optional): Yes, now it’s up to him to change and set a different address. If the location doesn’t correspond with what he wants, he can change it manually.

Or you could set this feature as a button in your plugin settings panel (if the vendor needs it, he can go to settings and tick a checkbox “Synchronize product and vendor location” and enable it. If the vendor doesn’t need this feature, he can leave the syncronization off and use the product location normally just as now.

The advantage for this feature is that Vendor sets his location one time and all new submited products will have the same location, so, they can be used in a product locator for example. Used in conjuction with Post locator function of GeoMyWorpress (http://docs.geomywp.com/post-types-add-on-setup/) one can make a product filter form in frontend and show only products from within a city or region. You can see this integration in action in this theme: http://rehub.wpsoul.com/extended-locator-2/

From a local business perspective (think of a local store) this makes sense because many times the vendor products are linked with his business physical location (from where he operates shipping). Basically, this functionality can transform the marketplace into a store locator for products (not vendors).

It’s a common request from users, from what I’ve seen on some other forums.

Thank you,
Daniel
