Hi gettingweduk

I only use stripe split pay on my marketplace. If I understand your question correctly, once you have stripe set up, you don’t have to have both split pay and regular stripe pay active in the WooCommerce payments settings for vendors to pay with stripe for their subscription or for customers to pay for products. Make sure that the same stripe keys are in both the membership payment settings (membership>cog in the top right>payments) and site payment options( settings>payments). If you look in WooCommerce>settings>payments you should have the split pay option enabled. If you are in a testing environment, make sure you enable test mode and that both the membership and site payment settings are both in test. Also, just in case, the membership payment settings doesn’t say split pay but it’s the same keys if you are using split pay and subscription payments will still deposit into your stripe platform account. Hope this helps.

@pisidia

So maybe I did misunderstand a little bit. From what I understand from your response, it sounds similar to adding a listing fee, which we have discussed in other posts. Essentially you’re asking for the ability to charge the “pay for product” cost at the time of product creation instead of having the Vendors pre-purchase their products space. Did I understand that correctly?

Hello

Just wondering, how do fellow marketplace’s pay your affiliates now? Do you just ask them for their PayPal email address and send them a payment?

[vanilladev89]

I found that this issue is worse in Variable Products. There is no space to enter the URL to apply the Cloud URL to the different variations. In the attached image, I added the google drive URL to the file area and clicked submit but the URL didn’t save. When you click upload it only pulls from media but these products should allow for URL direct download.

Additionally, this can be accomplished from back end in variable product. Just not in WCFM.

Thank You

This is also happening with the new Transactional fee

Sale of $10 with 10% coupon applied, consider vendor coupon not activated. Commission is set to 5% and transactional charge set to 2.9%+$.30
Total commission sent to Platform Account should be $1.08. Total amount of sale is $9

10x.05=$.50
Transactional fee takes fee after vendor commission so 9.5x.029+.30= $.57.5
Total Fee that should be transferred to platform account $1.08
Actual amount transferred to platform account $.08

Hello @MolayDas

I believe pisidia is asking for dynamic pay for product choices. pisidia most likely is looking for admin to set one cost per product and vendors can choose how many they want to buy instead of the current set price and set amount each time a vendor needs to pay for more product.

Current: Admin sets 1 product for $1, which is the same as 5 product for $5.

What I believe pisidia is asking: admin sets cost of product to $1 and vendors can type in the quantity and pay.

Apologies in advanced if I interrupted or misunderstood but I too would be interested in this implementation.

Cheers

Hello @tahitiboral

I believe the answer to your question is that the firebase chat is the integration.

Once you set up the firebase integration option, admin has view of all chats. There is option to save the chat and the chat can be sent to visitor’s email if they choose this option. However, this function not working on my website currently which the reason for this post.

You can find the details for integrating firebase to your wcfm marketplace here https://docs.wclovers.com/live-chat/

Hello

Would putting a low or no data limit fix help?

Hello

Bumping this post as it has been almost 2 weeks since last response.

Thank you

Hello

Bumping this post as it has been almost 2 weeks since my last response.

To reiterate, if I add the video url to the wcfm field, the url does not save. However, if I add the url to the back end it does work.
Is this because I am using the free version of Yith Video? Understandably, I do not want to pay for the premium if there is an error.

Thank You

Tested Vendor Coupons after the Admin coupons and the calculations appear to be off with this as well

Same commission 5% + $.25

Results:
No coupon $.75
10% coupon applied ( making sale of $9 ) Commission after consider vendor Coupon? checked $.70
10% coupon applied (making sale of $9 ) Commission after consider vendor Coupon? not checked $.25 ( should be $.75 )

Am I misunderstanding how this works?

Thanks

Hello

This document is out dated. Stripe has changed their dashboard some time ago and this document may mislead users.

Hello,

Posting this for any future users. I was testing affiliate and affiliate links and if you add an affiliate through the back end, wcfm URL generator did not work. I had to add them through the front end manager in order for the URL generator to function properly. Also, don’t forget the https://

Hello,

I wanted to show support for this feature as well. I am very excited for this to be added to this platform and thank you for taking the time to implement this feature! Increases my happiness with purchasing your plugins.

Hello,

Thank you for the code to integrate this with the WCFM plugin. Is this also supposed to work with the Free Version? I can manually put the URL in the back end woocommerce add product and it works but it does not work in wcfm when I select the featured video and URL.

Thank You

[vanilladev89]

Okay, I see your image but not sure I understand why you chose that image. I am using the multi-vendor plugin and the image you provided is the back end for a woocommerce product being created in the back end.

On my website, when adding a new product in WCFM, there is only one field and when you input a link, the field moves to another location. Otherwise it simply states File with a field and upload button and this is not clear to anyone that doesn’t just know that they can use cloud links.

Thanks

Hi @ak

Thank you for the compliments. I personally have not received any updates on this top and will try and keep this post active. Possibly, the wclovers team will consider creating this as an option.

Cheers

I too would enjoy this added file type. I also think it could be useful to add a delivery field that a vendor could provide a link to something stored on their google drive or dropbox for example

[vanilladev89]

Hello,

I agree with what @ak is saying and I also requested a listing fee some time ago. Let’s talk about the Pay For Product Model.

1. In it’s current state, vendors are limited to the number of products they can have open in any state (draft, published, etc..). The idea is if the vendor needs additional products, they pay the fee and instantly get additional product limit. However, the vendor could get around this fee by deleting a product, archiving the product, or editing a product to a different product. This works because deleting and archiving products return the product back to the vendors total product limit. Thus, the current product limit/pay for product acts more as an overall product space limit and not like a listing fee.

1A. The response to this request was “disable vendor delete and edit live product capabilities”. Well, that’s not a very good solution. We need the vendors to be able to correct their mistakes and change prices and site owners would likely rather users have the ability to delete products to save on media space and website speed than not. If we remove edit and delete capabilities, the site admin would be responsible for these functions and that’s not efficient. Additionally, it gives your website a bad look when you hinder your vendors.

1B. You could custom code to prevent the “deleted product” from returning to the vendors total product space. You will also need to do this for archived products as well because they also return to the product limit once archived. This still has an issue because vendors still can potentially edit the listing to a different product and list a new product in it’s place. Additionally, this concept forces vendors to make additional payments because there is only one option for increasing product limit.

My point is that the pay for product model that is currently in this plugin is consistently being changed by developers and custom coding from wclovers to accommodate queries for a listing fee. I believe that a listing fee could be implemented into the current Withdrawal system, but I will use this post to present an idea to modify the withdrawal system to a different system that may be better for many WCFM users.

Proposed development for Pay For Product/ Listing Fee/ Withdrawal system:

Withdrawal System – I suggest the withdrawal system change to a running balance system capable of having fees removed directly from their balance. When the Vendor requests a withdrawal, they can fill in a field that designates the amount of their earnings they wish to withdrawal instead of having to designate which payments they wish to withdrawal. Admins should also have option to add, subtract, and modify vendor withdrawal accounts. These options would give admins much more control over their marketplace and simplify the refund system. Additionally, this new system would allow for a listing fee and other fees a marketplace might add to their website. Vendors could choose to preload their balance to cover listing fees, admins could offer a “negative balance limit” which could be reverse withdrawn from a connected paypal account to pay their listing fees, and this also opens up options for coupons to promote vendors to list products, such as a listing fee sales or a voucher for $10 deposited into their withdrawal account.This is just a few examples of how a different withdrawal system could excite website owners/developers.

Listing Fee – The listing fee is an amount that is reduced from the vendors withdrawal balance each time a product is published and/or sold. The listing fee can be taken on relisting products as well. For example, if a vendor lists a product sold individually with an inventory of 10 quantity available, each time a product is sold, the website collects a listing fee. In the previous example, if the listing fee was $1 and all 10 items sold, the vendor would owe $10 for the listing fee in addition to other fees.

Pay For Product – Pay for product could remain unchanged because it would work well in addition to the listing fee. Admins would still have the ability to limit their Vendor’s overall store size by product limits, but admins would no longer need to worry about removing delete or edit capabilities to use pay for product as a listing fee model. This thread’s expiration modification would still be viable, but more than likely, it would not be necessary since a listing fee would also satisfy this threads query. I believe the expiration suggestion in this thread is another solution around an actual listing fee being implemented.

I understand that my solution may not be as simple of a solution as the Expiry Solution that is presented in this thread, however, I do think that this plugin would benefit from offering a listing fee and a withdrawal system that opens the current restrictive system to admins and creates a simplified experience for the admins and vendors.

Hello

I am not sure how to explain this. The articles that I am unable to leave comments on are older articles and I wonder if there is an expiration date or an error that occurred at some point. New articles from the proper users are working so this is fine. At this point I am going to consider it an anomaly. Appreciate you responding and apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks!

Hello vnatius

I read your post and have a suggestion. In your post you mention that you have the group add on. In the group add on, you can set up groups to have different capabilities. Have you set up a group and added that group to a membership? If so, it is possible that the vendor account you posted screenshots of might have joined a membership that has a group attached to it that has those capabilities turned on.

Hope This Helped

Hello @sdel_nevo

Yes, I noticed this recommendation somewhere else in the forum and I may install to make the proper changes before the website is live. I think for many this loco plugin will help with their websites, so, thank you for this recommendation. I also think that having a thread open that offers plugin users a place to to post any English spelling errors that I may have missed or that may be found in the future for the developers to see is a good idea. Spelling errors are generally very easy to remedy and I don’t think customers should have to run a plugin to fix another plugin.

Thank You

[vanilladev89]

Hey There

The funny part about this question is that I am still trying to figure out why we can’t have it on both. I mean why is there not an ask a question button on the store page and an inquiry button in the tab where you are asking for it? I don’t know but it’s been a hot topic around the forum for some time and eventually they streamlined it by making it only on the store page. I asked for the same thing you did and this is the code snippet they sent me.

add_filter( ‘wcfm_is_pref_enquiry_button’, ‘__return_false’ );

Hope this helped.

Cheers

[vanilladev89]

Hello

Is this a current capability, a feature being added in a future update, or is this custom coding?

Thank You

[vanilladev89]

Hello

With all due respect, the reason I do not create membership with higher product limit is because a vendor can switch from a higher membership with a higher limit to a lower membership with a lower limit and the wcfm system does not halt the products. In this scenario, any vendor can upgrade their membership and publish the amount of products equal to the increase, cancel membership, and continue to sell the extra product limit until an admin asks or manually removes product until the vendors product limit is not in negative limits anymore. TO understand this clearer, if a vendor has membership with 20 products and then switches to a membership with 10 membership, they can continue to sell 20 products until admin interferes. This topic is a separate post on this forum, so in the interim I was hoping there would be multiple options for vendors to purchase additional product limit increases. Hope this answered your question.

Thank You
