Multivendor compatibility

Hi,

I’m using dokan as well and I would absolutley love it if your plugin is full compatible to dokan!
Hope you guys can do something here ??
If necessary I’d pay for this feature, let me know how much this would be (Maybe @mharby and I would share these costs^^)

Best regards

Hi, Ok we will check this option, can you guys explain how you need it to work for vendors?

Hi,
yeah for sure!

So your plugin already integrates in some parts, e.g. there is already the option for vendors to mark orders as “ready for pick up” etc.
Dokan is based on Woocommerce and therefore some features already work.

In Dokan there is the possibility to enter an adress of your vendors store and you can also enable a function called “store opening hours”, so vendors can actually enter all necessary informations for the pick up already.

The major feature missing is the order/vendor based email for the pick up at store.
In dokan all vendors have the possibility to choose local pick up as an shipping option or not, so not everyone offers this option.
That might be a problem, because a cart can consist of two products of two different vendor, and the customer can choose shipping per vendor so maybe the product of vendor A is with pick up at store and the other product of Vendor B with DHL Express.
The email should only be triggered for the product/vendor A, like only with local pick up as shipping method.

For me, the email template you are already offer is almost enough (Adress & Pick Up time), it would be nice to display the order details for the specific vendor in the email as well (not for different vendors, if he orders from multiple vendors, just one vendor and the belonging order details).

If a customer buys two product of two different vendors there should be seperate emails to the customer, because one vendor might process the order faster than the other.
The email should be triggered when the vendor marks the order as ready for pick up only for his specific “sub-order”, like only his part of the order (he can already do this).
A map, a link to a google maps route or an iCal as a reminder in the email might be interesting but not really necessary.

As the possibility for entering the vendors adress and the vendors shop times are already given in dokan, this might be not that difficult?
This screenshot might help understanding which vendor data could be used: https://prnt.sc/uy9br2

I think the multivendor function would be really interesting for a lot of dokan admins.

Let me know if you need some further information!

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sabastien
Thank you, we are familiar with Dokan since we also try to add compatibility to the Advanced Shipment Tracking plugin.

we are working on a PRO version for Advanced Local Pickup (ALP) that will allow multiple locations and pickup by item and than the options you mentioned will be available.. We will check the Dokan Compatibility with the Pro version.

Hi,
that sounds great.
Can you tell how long it will take until this feature is available and how much the pro version will be?

The Pro is expected to be released at the end of the month, then we will be able to check the compatibility.

How much will it cost?
