Hey mate,

Thank you for getting back to me. The code returned this error:

Don’t Panic
The code snippet you are trying to save produced a fatal error on line 0:

Exception thrown without a stack frame
The previous version of the snippet is unchanged, and the rest of this site should be functioning normally as before.

Please use the back button in your browser to return to the previous page and try to fix the code error. If you prefer, you can close this page and discard the changes you just made. No changes will be made to this site.

[tech2]

Please don’t take offence but I can’t see how that holds any value. You’re just allowing vendors to communicate away from the marketpalce. Giving them the opportunity to make deals / sales outside of the marketplace and only see that as a major concern.

There are Whatsapp and facebook messenger options but they’re the same, taking business away from the platform which is a MASSIVE NO!

Thank you very much! Is there any movement on the “featured vendor” short code to add to pages like a slider we spoke about around this time last year?

Thank you again for your time and help

[tech2]

Prioritizing this would be great. TalkJS just isn’t a solution for anyone really but this feature is still very important

[tech2]

Exactly right. It has to be simple, hassle free and just work.

I think a lot of Marketplace owners would LOVE this option

[tech2]

I’m sure your website always makes a fee per sale anyway?

The affiliate commission can be calculated from the site fee (that’s how I have it)

So let’s say your site fee is 10% and the vendor makes 90% per sale. You can pay affiliates from the 10% so there is no additional fee to the vendor. They may never know affiliates are driving traffic

[tech2]

Where is the admin option? Admin cannot make nothing when an affiliate is involved so how do we set it up so all three get paid.
– You have already set this when you had defined Vendor commission and set Affiliate commission on vendor commission.

– How do you suggest we define settings for the admin to also make commission?

Example

Vendor makes 90%
Admin makes 6%
Affiliate makes 4%

Please let me know

[tech2]

Thanks for this, as long as that personalised commission option is then global across all new affiliates then that’s great!

Still no options for affiliates to add their chosen payment details which should have been there on the first release! When will this come?

Also. You only have two options for commission:

1. Vendor
2. Affiliate

Where is the admin option? Admin cannot make nothing when an affiliate is involved so how do we set it up so all three get paid.

Example below.

Product value = $100
Vendor commission = $90
Admin commission = $7
Affiliate commission = $3

Thank you in advance

[tech2]

Where does the affiliate add their payment details in the affiliate dashboard? Currently no payment options available so hoe do affiliates get paid?

[tech2]

Do you mean once the affiliate link has been used once it resets? Meaning a new one has to be created??

[tech2]

Sounds good!

When will you be adding the vendor created affiliate programs? That would be valuable for users

[tech2]

Do you have an expected release date / update?

It’s almost pointless how it is because it’s not a finished product and currently can’t really be used unless it’s setup with a work around

[tech2]

Have you fixed where the commission is coming from yet?

Example. Admin created affiliate program

Affiliate commission is calculated from site sales commission and not over all sale price.

My site takes 10% sales commission so let’s say

Sale price = $100
Sales commission (10%) = $10
Vendor payout = $90
Admin takes = $10
Affiliate commission (50%) = $5
(Affiliate commission calculated from sales commission)

If there ever is a vendor created affiliate program the. The affiliate commission would be take from the vendor payout and admin commission would not be effected

[tech2]

WCFM forum. OmniWP are actually working on this but have faced some issues. Maybe work together on this one as most customers (store admin) would love this

[tech2]

@WCFMFourm currently this option may be valuable to 1% of your customers, maybe. Probably not. To have it there just to save time when someone has the same product available makes little sense.

How i would like it to work on my site and how it should work if you want it to add value to 100% of your customers is as follows: it should work like a drop shipping agreement.

This will only work if Vendor A agree’s to the drop shipping agreement with lets say for example, a 10% commission is paid to the Drop seller.

Step 1. I add Vendor A’s product. Vendor A’s product is now in my store.
Step 2. I (vendor b) sell Vendor A’s product and the order alert and information is sent to both myself (vendor B) and Vendor A.
Step 3. Vendor A is paid for the product and shipping and Vendor B takes his cut.
Step 4. Vendor A sends the product.

This will enable vendors who want to add to their product list or have absolutely zero products to create a store, fill it with products of their choice and sell. This will generate activity, traffic and more sales. It’s a win win for everyone!

[tech2]

Yes, I get that. You would have to have the same product in stock or at least available to you for that to even be a usable option. I get it may save someone a little time but it’s unlikely it will be used with the vast amount of products out there.

My suggestion on how it could / should work creates a huge amount of value for users. If the products available to add to store were from vendors that had opted into that particular program and it was set up like a drop shipping agreement where Mr Joe Public could create a store with absolutely no products or stock but could fill his store with a range of different products from a list of different vendors and earn a commission every time products are sold then that would be massively valuable to a lot of people who want to get into the market / marketplace.

This option has massive potential but it’s not ready / finished how it is so I have now turned it off as it will just cause confusion and waste peoples time.

[tech2]

@streambeginnings

It’s a percentage of the site fee. Which would be explained in the T’s&C’s.

You can’t expect to give the affiliate lets say 10% and the site admin makes 0. The business will never grow. It has to be structured correctly to guarantee longevity.

Affiliate sales continue for any sales taken via their link and continue with the customers who joined via their link. It’s not a one off commission for the first sale. It’s ever sale moving on from there either from that link or customers gained from that link. So giving the affiliate/s the commission and the site taking nothing is a sure fire way for failure.

This is the only way it can work

Site-wide Affiliate program.
Admin Commission 10%
Affiliate Commission 15% of admin / site fee.

Sale = $100
Seller receives $90
Admin receives $10
Admin pays affiliate 15% of admin sales fee = $1.50

It just doesn’t work any other way. If the site fee is 10% you couldn’t give an affiliate more than 10% anyway because there would be uproar from the vendors. The affiliate program released as a paid addon is not finished and they have not thought about the details of this.

For it to work both both admin and vendors it has to be how i described above.

[tech2]

Ok. SO MY POINT IS THIS.

Unless I stock Vendor A’s product that I have now cloned into my store, it is 100% pointless for me to have it in there because I cannot sell what I do not have!! Totally pointless addition!! And a half baked product.

Now if you wanted this to work. it should work like a drop shipping agreement. This will only work if Vendor A agree’s to the drop shipping agreement with lets say for example, a 10% commission is paid to the Drop seller.

Step 1. I add Vendor A’s product. Vendor A’s product is now in my store.
Step 2. I (vendor b) sell Vendor A’s product and the order alert and information is sent to both myself (vendor B) and Vendor A.
Step 3. Vendor A is paid for the product and shipping and Vendor B takes his cut.
Step 4. Vendor A sends the product.

Your single product multi-vendor option does not work unless the other vendor also has the products.

FYI. Your affiliate paid addon is also a half baked product. I’m happy to help you guys bring these up to speed because releasing paid addons that do not do what they should do is terrible business.

[tech2]

Okay. I dont think this is a complete product and I dont think you know how this actually works. Please address all questions.

HI,

Please explain the entire sales process for single product multi-vendors.

– Well, main concept of this module is, when a vendor start selling another vendor’s product it copied and created a totally new product for this vendor.

Now, new vendor may change anything for that product, as it’s his product.

If customer purchase this new vendor’s products then “vendor order” will be created for this new vendor.
Main product’s vendor has nothing to do here. Even he will have no information whether this product sold from another vendor’s store.

Ok. so how do I complete the order if this is not my product?

2: what happens if the original product owner doesn’t want me to sell their product?

– Well, there is no such restriction. But you may disable this for a vendor then he will not able to sell another vendor’s products.

This is not a complete product. Basically I can add a product from another vendor but I must then stock that product myself? Makes no sense. Completely pointless addition!

So the 4 questions I asked but you ignored.

1: I add someone else’s product. Do I have to add a higher cost to make a profit?

2: what happens if the original product owner doesn’t want me to sell their product?

3: When I sell someone else’s product, does the order go directly to the original vendor or do I have to contact them as the secondary vendor and arrange the sale.

4: what if the original vendor doesn’t ship the product or takes too long to ship and me as the secondary vendor gets bad feedback?

[tech2]

Ok. You’re still missing it. I’ll make this simple.

1: I add someone else’s product. Do I have to add a higher cost to make a profit?

2: what happens if the original product owner doesn’t want me to sell their product?

3: When I sell someone else’s product, does the order go directly to the original vendor or do I have to contact them as the secondary vendor and arrange the sale.

4: what if the original vendor doesn’t ship the product or takes too long to ship and me as the secondary vendor gets bad feedback?

Please explain the entire sales process for single product multi-vendors.

There really needs to be more information around how this works. So far I’ve added products but have no idea how it actually works
