Multisite

Since WooCommerce is not Multisite compatible, WC Vendors never has been either. You’ll find a number of issues if you try to activate WooCommerce on a network. A majority of WooCommerce plugins are not multisite ready, too. We’ve got it on our “todo” list, but granted, the priority of it is really, really, really low since all it would do is create more support headaches for us when OTHER authors plugins break because they arent MS compatible. We’d really like to see WooThemes do something about MS.

It may actually work for you, but we only include normal functions none of the MS functions such as options per site instead of just options.

If you’re PHP capable, feel free to work on WC Vendors and make it MS compatible by issuing a pull request after you’ve done testing for it.

Thank you for your speedy, very thoughtful response, Ben. This is the kind of treatment that make your users champion you and your product.

What you say makes a lot of sense, particularly the potential for conflicts and support issues. It is also sad how WC isn’t fully Multisite compatible given how less popular products (EDD and Marketpress) strive to be; but just like you’ve noted elsewhere how it’s almost amusing their Product Vendors pale in comparison to WCVendors yet they charge an arm and a leg for it, this may be something not high on their list either; and something more people should clamor for, considering how it would be great to have multisite installs not just provide sites/blogs and individual stores, but the power (like WCV) for each account to be able to operate their own marketplaces from within said hosted environment.

Will see about digging into this more as well, but am glad that however low, it’s in your radar. For now, thank you, Ben.
