looking for more shortcode options to display custom vendor information for the WooCommerce Product Vendors plugin. So far it is just the basics vendors list with name and logo as available options. Notes from support on my issue. " I understand you want to know if there is a shortcode you could use to display the Vendor's profile and logo.

To display a list of all vendors, you can use the shortcode [wcpvvendorlist]. Available attributes are “showname” and “showlogo”. So for example, [wcpvvendorlist show_name=true] would display the vendor list with names.

There is no shortcode for displaying information about a single vendor - but you could use the Vendor Widget to display information about a single vendor in the following ways:"

1. Vendor Software Suggestion:
   Please add a custom fee option available to charge vendors.
   If any site is going to use the vendor software, it may seem a basic need to have a function for the site owner to charge vendors a fee.
   When we look at other site examples that have vendors, they almost all show the fees they charge to vendors for selling on their sites.
   It just seems like a common feature that would come with this software.
   Amazon in one way or another makes money (fees) by letting you sell your products on Amazon, well that same function would be nice to have in this vendor software that does the same activity.

2. WooCommerce & Vendor Software Suggestion:
   Basic printing of shipping name and address , invoices, I thought was a basic function with Jetpack or the WooCommerce platforms.
   Instead it sounds like we may need to get additional software to just print information or invoices. We are suggesting add an easy feature to at least print name and address.
   And it would be equally nice to be able to print the order information to add to each order for our store or the vendors with us.
   This too seems like a common feature everyone would want.

Hi WooCommerce!

I would like to request that Product Vendors plugin allows a single variation within a "Variable product" to have the option to assign a Vendor..

I am not sure if I am using the plugin the wrong way, but it would make things very easy to assign a single variation to a Vendor within a "Variable product".

Right now you have to assign the whole product to the Vendor, even if not all variations pertain to that Vendor in the "Variable product".

For example..

Variation #1 - Single eBook for Sale

Variation #2 - Single eBook for Sale + Vendor's Bonus [BUNDLE]

In this case, the store admin has to assign the whole "Variable product" to Vendor, but Variation #1 does not pertain to Vendor.

My quick fix solution right now is to manually VOID Orders for "Single eBook for Sale" (Variation #1), but requires a monthly check-up before payouts. (Would be nice if set up automatically!)

If this is a good idea.. then if a single variation is assigned to a Vendor within a "Variable product", then it should be clearly stated on the selection of a single variation by either a different color, checkmark, or something like "Vendor - Vendor Name"..

Thanks for your time..

TLDR: Vendors appear in Vendor list before being approved, this should probably change to only show approved Vendors

Details:
When a user registers a new vendor application from '[wcpv_registration] ' registration form then user listed as 'Pending Vendor' in users.php page.

When Admin approve that user "Vendor Admin or Vendor Manager" then that user listed in Vendor Admin or Vendor Manager list. https://i.imgur.com/QC6ILo8.jpg

BUT if admin didn't approve that user or user is waiting for getting approval then at that duration that unapproved user appearing as a Vendor list in add new product page https://i.imgur.com/6tn7pYN.jpg. And if admin assign any product to that user then that Unapproved vendor's product and vendor's store appears on product archive page. https://i.imgur.com/Toq9hvZ.jpg

Logically user is not approved as vendor admin or vendor manager then that user should not appear in Vendor Listing drop down in add new product as shown in above screenshot.

Clients should be charged one rate per vendor instead of one rate per product.

The current Per Product Shipping method works as so :
- Each vendor sets a shipping fee for each of its products
- In the cart, the shipping fee for each of the products adds up and is paid by the client
- But if the client buys several products from the same vendor, chances are the later will send everything in the same box, so he will pay less shipping than what the client paid for, which can be inconvenient and expensive for the customers

Instead, I propose that for each vendor, the cart takes the highest shipping fee of the vendor's products present in the cart, and only charge these rates instead of all rates. Let me explain through an example.

Example :
A client buys 5 products (A,B,C,D,E) from 2 vendors (Vendor 1 sells A,B,C and Vendor 2 sells D,E). A shipping fee is $3, B shipping fee is $7, C shipping fee is $5, D shipping fee is $6, E shipping fee is $4.
The client pays 3+5+7+6+4 = $25 as shipping fee, Vendor 1 gets 3+5+7 = $15 and Vendor 2 gets 6+4 = $10.
The issue is most vendors will group their products into the same box, and it will cost less than what the customer paid for. So the client pays a large shipping fee, that does not correspond to the actual shipping price since each vendor will group its products into the same box.

What I propose instead (with the same example) :
- The highest rate of Vendor 1's products is for product B (7$) and the highest rate of Vendor 2's products is for product D ($6).
- Instead of adding up shipping fees, the cart just takes the highest shipping fee of each vendor's products present in the cart, and just charges these highest rates
- So the client only pays 7+6 = $13 instead of $25 of shipping, Vendor 1 gets $7, Vendor 2 gets $6, and both vendors will group the ordered products into the single box. The client pays much less but the vendors still have enough money to cover (most of) the shipping cost.

I think it is smarter to charge Per Vendor shipping (taking the highest rate of the cart for each) than Per Product shipping since most products can be grouped into the same packages.
