Oh, and also, from what I understand, I need to be running the free version of the plugin before I update/install PRO correct? If so, I suppose I can work on adding and assigning vendors to their appropriate products so that I can just add/change the [table] rates once I go pro. “Correctamundo?”

Sounds like we have a deal. When I return home I believe thou shalt hear “cha-ching!” ?? Thanks for the quick support!

I will definitely need to use the table rate shipping. I am gong to be [using] a lot of vendors so each vendor will have to be assigned to their product(s) and I will have to setup the rates for each product to each state correct? I dont know if I will have to get more specific than that such as to zipcode [ranges] but if I dont, then what I previously mentioned is what I will have to do correct? Setting the rate for each product specifically will be the solution to not having a weight calculation I guess but that is a looot of initial calculation. Please let me know asap as I need to get this plugin ASAP.

Thanks!

Thanks. I went looking and found that video which was helpful. I will have to play around some more with it tommorrow. Does it calculate each individual product’s shipping charge in the cart? E.g. Customer ships to NY but ItemA comes from TX, ItemB comes from CA, Item 3 comes from OH. This kind of would solve the weight calculation problem but I would just have to look up and calculate the rates of all products to all places/zones and just enter them in the products. Sorry for all the questions but I can play with this part on the dev site.

Thanks!

I will go play again :). The product shipping is very different if I order a fridge from a vendor down the street as opposed to a vendor warehouse 5 states away. I will go play with it some more and see if I can figure it out. ??

Ok. Well, what I need to be able to handle is in each order, to be able to enter in the shipping rate for EACH product coming from different locations to the customer. I suppose I can add in the weight shipping charges somehow which are based upon UPS/FedEx rates which I have stored in my db. Is this possible with this plugin? Each vendor will have those specific products from THEIR store location so I think it should be possible yes? I couldnt figure it out or find in the documentation.

thanks.

So I am excited for this plugin’s release since it seems as if my dreams are coming true but I am not quite sure how to make it handle shipping rates based on 1)weight and 2)vendor/warehouse location PER PRODUCT IN AN ORDER relative to customer location. The shipping rates that the vendor inputs does not calculate weight or zipcode location from what it seems. I will go through the documentation and the video again in case I missed something. Please let me know how to do this asap. I am very eager to go PRO. Thanks!

Tsk tsk tsk… There were TWO semicolons at end of line 123456. No error produced but I found it, removed it AND the space [char] before it. You’re welcome & I think it’s good to release now, yes? ??

How was life this weekend guys? I’m just buggin ya to check in on the v1.1.10 release and to see if ya need me to look for null pointers or semicolons. ?? Fill me in when ya can.

Thanks!

I built lots of external [php/mysql] code to [try and] work with current plugins I am using [in development] and I believe this will finalize what I need. [I will stop use of the others.]

I need the cart total to be calculated per product based on location of EACH INDIVIDUAL product’s location (vendor/warehouse) relative to the customer. (Yes?) I am going to implement UPS values plus some additional charges needed for each product. Glad to hear this finally got worked out & is what I’ve/we’ve been working on. Super high five for v1.1.10 as the world waits for its release. Haha! ??

Hey Ben,

I plan on purchaing this plugin because I am looking to handle multiple vendors to handle different shipping rates from vendor to EACH customer PER PRODUCT in an order. I understand that this is multi vendor but I will be each vendor so to speak to handle each product. One admin as multiple vendors. Will that work? Thanks!

I was looking for the same thing and the closest thing I have found is this plugin.

HOWEVER!!!!!! It has not been updated in a while and is is stated to only work with WP 3.8.6 which was a long time ago. I have used a few tricks to KIND OF make it work as I develop and test it on my localhost.
Keep in mind that I’m not sure if it is because I was/am using with WP 4.1.1 but it seems to delete all attributes that arent specified in the bulk edit now, as opposed to just adding on.

My Process:

01. BACKUP YOUR FILES & Database FIRST!! <– MUST DO!!!!!!
02. Create product attributes you want/have to bulk add.
03. make a [temporary] product category for the [current] attribute(s) you wish to BULK modify e.g. product category named “BULK EDIT WIDTH”
04. Add ALL products you want to [currently] bulk attribute edit to that category.
05. Go to Products->Bulk Attribute Manager.
06. Select the product category you made in step 3.
07. select the Attribute(s) you want to add to all those products
08. Bulk edit.
09. DELETE the temp category made
10. Repeat for each attribute

REMEMBER to keep in mind that this might mess up the attributes a product has before it gets bulk edited if you are not using the compatible WP & WooCommerce it states on the plugin page.

Enjoy testing and tweaking. It gets tricky but this is what I have done.

I upgraded to WooCommerce 2.3.7, WP 4.1.1 and it destroyed all attributes except for the current bulk edit. Maybe it works better with the new WooCommerce 2.3.8. I haven’t tested it yet.

Hey annekee,
Yea I was using WAMP while doing all of the stuff I mentioned and because of the php.ini ‘rules’ like execution time, file size allowed, etc., I had to do the whole waiting to refresh thing cuz of timeouts. Took FOREVERRRR! So I adjusted the time allowed to like 10 minutes haha, clicked import ONCE and voila! haha I would ONLY do this locally and then upload the db to the actual server because of how long it takes aka “whole day & night” haha and I dont have to worry so much about errors.

Great plugin but yea, fixes should be fixed immediately, just like posts. Glad you got it working.

Hey Annekee!

First backup you db/site before doing ANYTHING, ALWAYS but to rid yourself of the duplicate category issue, open the .php file and comment out line 89, like this (if you dont code, you’re just adding two forward slashes BEFORE it):

//add_woocommerce_term_meta($term[‘term_id’], ‘order’,$category[‘sort_order’]);

upload/save the file and refresh your page/site to load your edited version. Done! Import categories with a smile. This was solved in another thread unclearly but that did it for me.

As for the products, I had no problems with it except the time out issue so I just temp edited my php.ini file to allow for REAL long execution time so I didnt have to keep refreshing.

I was not importing pictures from previous site really so I did not even look into the issue involving that.

Hope I helped ya. That’s all it came down to after many hours of pain.

Credit to amitramani for his work but unclear explanation. See his post about the image issue if interested.

Update. Turns out the orders ARE imported but they do not show when by default ‘ALL’ is selected on top of orders page within Dashboard->Woocommerce->Orders. If you click Published the orders show up. However, just like the products and customers, ya gotta keep refreshing til they are all imported. I will open a new thread for the orders showing only under Published and mark this one resolved.
