    Re Vendor and Order Processing

    1. How does the vendor get notified of an item to despatch?
    2. Can the vendor see a list of his/her items to despatch when logged in to WP / WC admin?
    3. Can the vendor update delivery info ie the delivery date and be able to flag an item as complete? Will teh order then be marked as complete in the WC order admin?
    4. Can a vendor bulk update an delivery / order status for a large number of orders

    All of these questions are not relevant to this plugin because this plugin only splits an order into multiple order as per vendor or group of vendors. All of your questions are demanding control over splitted order after split, these features aren’t relevant here.

    Thank you

    Thanks Fahad
    Who creates the vendors then? Is that managed within the plugin? Are vendors registered users? If so when a user logs in and is a vendor what do they see? Can you recommend any plugins to complete this process?

    Lets take a look on it step by step:

    1. A normal WooCommerce based store with default registration and login
    2. Some other plugin or arrangement made for more user roles or maybe specifically for a vendor so they can start their shop online
    3. Every product has an owner and post_author field decided the ownership, user role can be any
    4. Here this plugin jumps in and provide you a dropdown for user role selection to mark as a vendor, so you will select a user role to tell this plugin, this user role is a vendor
    5. Now, each product edit page will appear with a metabox in which vendors dropdown will list vendors, if Admin want to change the ownership of any product
    6. That’s it, now this plugin know that who is vendor and on order placement, which user role should be considered as a product owner (vendor) and orders need to splitted according to the rules defined

    Your last question is interesting,

    Can you recommend any plugins to complete this process?
    I think there should be a plugin to fill the gap which i tried to explain in early points. But i have nothing in my mind except Product Vendors.
