Hi there,

With the introduction of the WooCommerce Bookings extension and accommodation add-on, it would be great to integrate with SiteMinder. SiteMinder is one of the worlds leading hotel channel managers http://www.siteminder.com.

SiteMinder currently integrates with Wordpress sites with it's Booking Button iframe widget, http://www.siteminder.com/the-booking-button/. It works fine but takes visitors away from the hotel website to complete the booking.

SiteMinder integrates with hotel reservation software offering live availability and automatically updates the reservation software with new bookings.

For hotels with multiple offers e.g. Accommodation, Activities and Merchandise available to book/purchase online, they may have to use several carts/booking engines. WooCommerce has the ability to handle all of this except the integration with booking channels and reservation software. An integration with SiteMinder would bring all of this together.

Cheers,

Cy

After purchasing and installing the woocommerce-pdf-watermark premium version (the pdf stamper plug-in) on my website I noticed with dismay that the downloaded version of the stamped pdf file misses all clickable links that were in the original pdf file :(, Why is that???
This woocommerce-pdf-watermark plug-in actually negatively inteferes with the "original value" of the pdf file, There are valuable links in the pdf files that the reader would have conveniently followed in a click like our social places links (to follow us on facebook, twitter, google+ etc.) and there are some additional resources links that we had placed on the file too...
Could you please make it (possibly in an updated version of the plug-in) such that the woocommerce-pdf-watermark does not remove clickable links from the downloaded stamped pdf file??? I.e. the clickable links in the original pdf file should remain clickable in the downloaded stamped pdf version.
Thanks

I was not 100% sure which category to post this under. It is I guess a Product Vendors request however development on Product Vendors alone would not really work here I imagine. Currently global availability is just that, its set at a global level by site admin. Ultimately the way the plugin is coded it may need to be refactored in the future to allow global availability work at a Vendor admin or Vendor level inside Product Vendors.

Obviously if a Vendor sets their global availability it should only work for their products they have created and right now if they set it, it would literally work across the entire website which of course is not scalable from a marketplace perspective. Right now the developers of Product Vendors have simply switched off the global availability setting to vendors which is of course all they could do for now but it really limits the marketplace working with Woocommerce Bookings. Vendors will want global availability settings and they will want to change them from time to time but of course only effect their own bookable products and not site wide.

Likewise with resources. I feel this is most certainly a time to refactor the woocommerce bookings plugin in order to make it more seamlessly integrate with other extensions like product vendors. I believe anyone creating a marketplace will discover this limitation early on and its really a dissappointing limitation as it definitely could be a big big plus to have this work better with Product Vendors. I hope others fine this useful and maybe others have seem this limitation also. Look forward to hearing any other thoughts on this or how best to make this work moving forward. thanks for your time as always.

When people use the layered navigation plugins that are available they dont want to know if you make a product in their size they want to know if you HAVE a product in that size! :) If it could only show items that are still in stock the world would be a better place!

I noticed that the layered nav widget uses the attributes values to function.
This works fine for most products. However, for variable products, shouldn't it use the variations values data instead to show what's available?
In a test I did, I edited a variable product, and removed all variations but 1. I left the attributes as is (most were selected). Instead of showing just 1 size as available, all sizes were displayed as being available, only because the attributes were present in that variable product.
A quick fix would be to remove attributes which aren't available from each product. However, it's not ideal either. When a product goes out of stock, it's still listed as being available by the layered nav widget even though it's not (and it will be until something is done manually).
