I think matrin is talking about prevent a client can add to cart products from different vendors, this is a problem because products must be shipped from different locations, and therefore should have different shipping costs.

How can you do to wc vendor prevent that clients add to cart products from different vendors? Please help, I’m not smart guy ??

Thanks in advance.

Hi FerTar,

This will be an option in WC Vendors Pro when it is released in the next few months. You can do this now, of course, by customizing the code in the tutorial above to simply check the author (vendor) of the products in the cart, if they don’t all match the same author (vendor) then return an error with a note telling the customer to only add one vendors products at a time, or whatever message you like of course.

Sorry, I have the same problem of FerTar but I don’t understand the solution above, I’m waiting for the pro version and I would not try another plugin so please, explain me step by step the solution.

Thanks

Hi Achillem,

The solution above is more or less a temporary hack that allows only one product at a time to be purchased at checkout. It has no vendor based options, but you could customize that code instead of checking for only one product, to check if the product authors (vendors are really just authors of products) for all products in the cart are the same, and if they are, then allow checkout, if they are not, then show an error.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21363268/need-woocommerce-to-only-allow-1-product-in-the-cart-if-a-product-is-already-in might also help as additional samples of code you can customize.

While this is not a step by step (custom coding is up to you!) this should point you in the right direction.
