We’re proudly presenting an awaited feature for Multi-Vendor: Vendor plans.
By using the Vendor plans add-on, you offer vendors subscription plans with certain restrictions, such as maximum number of products and maximum revenue.
The Vendor plans add-on is a flexible tool that gives you carte blanche to create subscription plans for vendors and helps increase revenue.
We haven’t included the Vendor plans add-on in the Multi-Vendor 4.3.6 package because we’re counting on you to beta test it. We’ll add the finishing touches to the add-on according to your suggestions.
To test Vendor plans, visit a special Multi-Vendor demo site: your personal fully-featured Multi-Vendor store will be created for 24 hours.
To get Vendor plans for your own Multi-Vendor 4.3.6 installation, access your Help Desk account, and install manually.
The Vendor plans add-on is not compatible with the Vendor commission add-on. Disable it before installing the Vendor plans add-on.
On the Vendors → Vendor plans page, you’ll see a list of all vendor plans available in your store. On this page, you can add a new plan and edit and delete existing ones.
When you finish with the settings, click Save.
To display vendor subscription plans on your storefront, add the link to the Vendor plans page. When visitors choose one of the available plans on that page, they are automatically redirected to the vendor account registration page with a preselected plan.
We’re happy to hear what you think about Vendor plans. Please share your thoughts on how we can improve the add-on here in this topic.
We’ll consider all good ideas and will probably incorporate the suggested features.
Report issues to our bug tracker if you find any.
This is really a cool feature. Well done CS-Cart!
It's like Merchium is having babies. Hope the beta testing goes very well for you guys.
Just noticed something in the pricing for multi vendor.
Are the prices for individual stores within multi vendor.
-Listing fees possibility to be included in plan.
On another note, I have read that vendor commission add-on should be disabled, does this mean that we will not be able to set global vendor commission if we activate this add-on?
I am having issues when installing the vendor plans addon. The preview button leads to a 404 error page. Here is a link to the page that is displayed.
Yes, if you Activate Vendor Plans add-on you should set vendor commissions only using plans.
And btw there was no global commission for vendors - you should manually set commission rate for each vendor.
We have a products limit option - how many products can list the vendor in his store, I suppose this is the same?
You can use this link to access the store.
I can open the store too if you need? Thanks for taking a look.
Looks like you either did not install or enabled Vendor Plans.
Please see the "How to get it" section of the first message.
It is installed and configured. Every since I installed it the vendor plans page where vendors go to choose their plan on the front end does not show up.
Check and make sure that companies.vendor_plans is in the list.
01-set a difference options to select how vendor will pay(see table).
04 vendor must pay first befor can use store.
-i think its not good to let vendor move to another plan directly, but we can let him asked to join to another plan, and the Root administration Panels(owner) decide acceptance or not.
1 - a vendor can move to another plan (automatic ).
Note03 What happens at the end of the subscription ?
for example jack he have store '' Simtech «’’he sell computers,he payed a gold plan for 1 month (01/03/2016 to 31/03/2016) and now the subscription finished,what will happens ?
01-Ability to set status vendor Disabled automatic if time subscription end.
-vendor cannot accept orders, and "add to cart " botton will be invisible.
- vendor can manage his previous orders.
for example we want to creat a plan dos’nt accepte orders.
- Ability to change the plan to accepte orders in feutur.
What are the payment options for a transition to a different group? PayPal? PayU?
I apologies for the long silence. We finally back to this feature.
1. At the moment there are month/year/onetime options. These are most often cases and we do not plan to add any other.
2. Payment methods is the separate task, because right know Multi-Vendor does not have any built-in transactions between vendor and admin.
3. Yes, admin can do this now. As for the payment options see 2.
4. It sub to admin. he can enable the plan for vendor any time he want.
2. Do not thing we will add this feature. Probably there will be an option for admin to forbid vendors to change their current plan.
At the moment Vendor Plans do not have any track of changed plans, subscription date and other tracks of plan changes.
Probably in future we will add if there will be demand.
This is a custom feature. Do not thing we will consider add this.
This is one is custom modification also. We won't at this to the add-on.
