Woo Product Vendors 2.0 Just Released

Product Vendors 2.0 makes managing vendors simpler

Looks like Woo themselves have starting updating their own plugin after a long period of stagnation.

Will BuddyBoss also be tracking this extension, with support in OneSocial + Marketplace plugin?

Hey Jonny,

Thanks for asking.
What features in Product Vendors 2.0, were you interested in, that you couldn’t find on WC Vendors ?

[Karen Thomas]

I’m pretty sure you won’t find a better solution than WCVendors 🙂

Ben and Jamie are incredible, really responsive, helpful and passionate. It’s already the best Vendors solution out there and they have HUGE plans for the future – I’m super excited to see what happens next! 🙂

I am happy with WCVendors in every regard, except one.

They do not play well with Shipping Plugins that integrate with Australia Post/UPS/FedEx APIs to auto calculate shipping on checkout.

Yes, there is complexity with shipping fees with any multi vendor marketplace, but the above plugin can calc shipping fees via external Apis per product.

I haven’t found any vendors that are happy with table rate shipping. They all want to auto charge their buyers the appropriate postage fees, which can easily range from $5 to $50, dependent on distance parcel will travel, volume, height, width, weight.

Simply saying all shipping from all vendors to anywhere on the planet will be $10 is not good enough.

I have raised the issue with WCVendors too.

I just want to know is this theme ‘locked’ into WCVendors, or is the Woo plugin also supportable in a limited fashion.

Cheers,

Johnny
