WCFM Marketplace support

Hi Dev,

Yes, WCFM is compatible with WPML. You will find links to documentation on our listing in the “Useful resources” section.

Thank you.

I couldn’t see the compatibility codes within WPMLs plugin. Is it native within WCFM or could you provide where the code is that controls compatibility? We want to check where its hooked into.

The integration is managed by WCML and is included as part of their plugin.

Is there a way to disable geolocate so only the switcher widget is to be used? Its not clear that the currency features are actually supported only translation ones. WCFM doesn’t have any documentation to support currency switcher is supported.

You can base your currencies on language instead of location. Note that you can make all currencies available in all languages. Here is the Multicurrency feature documentation; we also explain how to enable the Currency Switcher.

Hello,

Based of the analysis of the WCFM code and their documentation, it doesn’t actually support multi-currency and only the langage side of WPML.

This seems to have been mis-advised earlier and this page isn’t correct as it’s only partially compatible: https://wpml.org/plugin/wcfm-multivendor-marketplace-for-woocommerce/

We don’t want to use the multi-language WPML only multi-currency. The feature documentation doesn’t provide a way to do this but we’ve created some custom functions using the available hooks instead.

This still leaves the issue that WCFM doesn’t actually support the multi-currency features.

Hi Dev,

If the issue is related to geolocation, you can try using this filter:

add_filter( 'wcml_user_store_strategy', function ( $strategy, $key ) {
return 'cookie';
}, 10, 2 );

If that’s not the case and you suspect an issue with the WCFM integration, could you kindly reproduce the problem on this sandbox site? Please let me know once the issue is reproduced and explain me the steps to follow to see the issue so I can take a closer look.

Best regards,

Hello,

There is no issue on our site, we were looking to implement it however it’s not actually supported or integrated by either WCFM or WPML. Looks like a few years ago integration was advertised but it doesn’t extend to the multi-currency and therefore should not be used.

Can WPML liaise with WCFM to have the multi-currency features supported or the compatibility updated to state multi-currency isnt supported?

Hello,

Could you please reproduce the issue on the sandbox provided so I can escalate it?

Hello,

There isn’t an issue, it’s not designed to work with it and therefore isn’t compatible.

The main issue will be to how commissions are handled with multi-currency for vendor sales. Thats not something we can setup on sandbox.
