In a "single-store" setup, whether operating as single-vendor or multi-vendor, all shipping methods are controlled by the top-level admin. The same applies to payment gateways. All payments will go through the top-level admin's payment processor.Renato Frota wrote:Hi.
What if a customer add 2 items from different vendors in the cart?
How is shipping calculated? Who will receive the payment?

In a multi-store setup, each store has its own shipping methods and payment gateways. Since these can be configured on a store-by-store basis, the payment will go through the store owner's payment processor.
Wrong. Think "bricks and mortar" -- multiple vendors operating under the same roof. I'll give you an example.Renato Frota wrote:In a single-store with multi vendors (do you mean a store marketplace like ebay, right?)

Is there any alternative or option to apply the multi-shipping rates for multi-vendor where the vendors themself will do the shipping for the store owner direct to the store customer?Each department within that store is operated by a different vendor (or franchisee), all in the same physical store, under the same roof. All payments, shipping, etc. are handled by the owner of that physical store (ie. "Hardly Normal"), not by the individual franchisee within the store. This is how a "single-store/multi-vendor" setup works in the "real" world.
OpenCart is designed to be used as either "single vendor/single store" or "single vendor/multi-store". In both cases, all shipping, payments, order totals, product feeds, modules, etc. are only configurable by that single vendor and apply to all stores. So, the answer to your question is: no, not in a single store setup.grivates wrote:Is there any alternative or option to apply the multi-shipping rates for multi-vendor where the vendors themself will do the shipping for the store owner direct to the store customer?

That's right. You can't create an individual shipping rate for multi-vendors in a single store setup. And in a standard OpenCart, you can't do it for multi-store either.grivates wrote:So, there is no such a way to create a individual shipping rate according to vendor for multi-vendor store?
With this mod, if you are using multi-store, you can configure ANY setting individually for each store. So, with the extension you mentioned, it would have to configured for each store.I found in OC extension there is an individual shipping cost but it according to the products not vendor, if we install it to the OC, can it be apply to all of our sub-store if we are using multi-store regardless of single or multi-vendor?

Cool. But... I got this point since the beginning! I'm ASKING/SUGGESTING something to make your module BETTER.fido-x wrote:OpenCart is designed to be used as either "single vendor/single store" or "single vendor/multi-store". In both cases, all shipping, payments, order totals, product feeds, modules, etc. are only configurable by that single vendor and apply to all stores. So, the answer to your question is: no, not in a single store setup.
What this mod does, is add "multi-vendor/single store", "multi-vendor/multi-store" and improved "single vendor/multi-store".
If I want multi stores and a high level of customization, I would simply setup multiple OpenCart stores or use the built-in multi-store function...With the "multi-vendor/single store" setup, restrictions are applied to vendors with regard to products, categories, information pages, downloads, attributes, etc., but they can NOT configure modules, payments, shipping, order totals, product feeds, etc.
With "multi-store", regardless of whether you are running "multi-vendor" or "single vendor", each store can be configured INDEPENDENTLY.
Sure, you can use multiple installations if you don't want to buy this. Mind you, you'll have to pay your hosting service a fee for hosting each of these sites. You'll also have multiple databases to maintain.Renato Frota wrote:If I want multi stores and a high level of customization, I would simply setup multiple OpenCart stores or use the built-in multi-store function...
In a standard OpenCart, admin user profiles only contain username, first name, last name, email, user group, password, password confirmation and status. No postcode. Shipping costs are NOT based on vendor location, they are based on product location.Renato Frota wrote:For a new operation mode ("single-store/multi-vendor") where products are shipped by the vendors (a marketplace), the shipping cost SHOULD be calculated based in the vendor location. You can't avoid it...
That's exactly how OpenCart works. The store owner (not the vendor) is responsible for shipping. This is because OpenCart has been designed for use by a SINGLE vendor. Even in a "multi-store" environment, ALL stores are owned by that single vendor.Renato Frota wrote:... if it works this way than people interested in a "single-store/multi-vendors" system where the store owner is responsible for shipping the products ...
Actually, that's not how "consignment" works. In a "consignment" situation, you are not selling the product yourself, someone else is selling it for you.Renato Frota wrote:(a very low percentage of stores have payments conditions like "pay vendor after the product is sold" - we have word for this business model in my country: consignação - translated by Google as "consignment" - I dunno if it's right)

Should be. However, customers will not be able to make cross-store purchases, as cookies are domain-based.zaja wrote:Sorry if you already answered these questions, but please brief answers to the following:
--------------
1. Is it possible that each store work on a separate domain?
Yes.2. Can each store have their own extensions enabled or disabled, including payment gateways and shipping methods?
Yes.3. Can each store have their own template for the front end?
No. Not necessary, since each store is independently configurable. All extensions are available (with the exception of the Store Manager module).4. Is it possible that global admin define a list of available extensions for each shop separately, independently of the other?
Configuration is on a store-by-store basis. Larry may have more than one store to manage. Only those stores that are "owned" (or managed) by Larry will be listed.5. When I'm logged in as Larry, why I have option to select other stores under Store front link? Also, selecting extensions > payment, why I need to select my store here?
Yes. When a user (or store) is created through the store manager, a category is created on the main store for that user (or store). Any categories created by the user will be sub-categories of that category on the main store. The first level of sub-categories will be the "top" level of categories on the user's store when linked to that store.6. As shop owner, do I have complete control over the structure of categories? I'm not sure I understand how categories work, how to edit/change root categories?
Yes.7. In short, is it possible that your module can transform OpenCart into a platform for opening completely separate web stores?

The only "real" difference between what you're saying and a "shopping mall" is in the way you set up your domains. In a "shopping mall" model, all stores would be sub-domains of the main site, eg:zaja wrote:... opening a completely separate web stores for each client, I'm not interested in shopping mall model.
Do you think that this is possible out of the box?
All built-in modules and extensions are supported. Support can be included for 3rd party modules by request.zaja wrote:I have some custom Payment modules for latest OpenCart, will this work with your mod?
Any and all modifications to core files are done with vQmods.zaja wrote:Does your module change the extensions or core files?
No. They are all stored in the regular directories. You can create sub-directories under these to keep things separate, if you wish.zaja wrote:Are the images, download files and theme stored physically separately for each shop (separate directories)?
There is an application form on the front-end of the main store. Follow the "Vendors" link in the "Extras" column in the footer of the demo.zaja wrote:Does the module comes with some sort of sign up form that the new store owner need to fill?
