Marketplace Physicals / Vendor Digitals

    We are starting a marketplace where people can list their digital products for sales. However, we’d also like customers to have the ability to purchase a physical version which the marketplace would be able to create and send. The vendor would make the same exact amount as what they listed their digital at, we would just markup what the cost of the physical would be and sell.

    How could I automate all new products to become a “variable” product that would give the vendor the dollar amount they listed their digital for and add our mark up at?

    All while giving customers the option to select between digital or physical options when purhcasing?

    Hi @gbwick

    To answer your question, using the Dokan Lite plugin, you can create a digital product marketplace, but there is no option to add a product markup price. However, using the Dokan Lite plugin, vendors can sell both digital and physical products on the same marketplace.

    On the other hand, adding a variable product is a premium feature of the Dokan plugin. According to the forum guidelines,?commercial products are not supported in these forums”.

    I hope the information will help.

    Thanks!

    Hello Tanvir,

    Thanks for the update. I notice that vendors don’t have the ability to add a digital product for sale in my store when first adding the product. Only when attempting to edit can they add it as a digital download plus other woocommerce features that aren’t shown in the initial listing page.

    Hi @gbwick

    Dokan has kept minimal options on the “Add New Product” page for a streamlined user experience. Vendors can find more options, including those for digital products, on the “Edit Product” page. This is the expected and default behavior of the Dokan plugin.

    I hope the information will help.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply @tanvirh is there a way to add more options in the add new product page? Can I make the add new product page options to what the edit product options available on the first add?

    Hi @gbwick

    Achieving such requirements requires massive customization from the Dokan codebase. As this is a custom work, according to our?support policy, we are unable to assist you further regarding this.

    In this case, we recommend hiring a professional WordPress developer to assist you in achieving such requirements.

    I hope this explains the scenario.

    Thanks!
