eCommerce idea - what you think?
« on: September 04, 2021, 05:32:58 PM »
Hello everyone,
There is idea for osclass pay to slightly redesign how ecommerce works.
Currently, it is possible to create order that consists from products from different sellers.
This is quite fancy, but brings a lot of problems i.e. if we want to add delivery options, delivery prices or make after sale work much easier for admins and sellers.

Idea is to limit cart to be able to process order only with products from same seller.
Having this, we could have easy way to create shipping & carriers section or module.

Wouldn't it be better to offer both options with just a simple setting: Enable/Disable Single Order from Multiple Sellers ?
I mean there are some people that would prefer to keep everything as it is right now as they've adjusted their workflow to it, and others that would go for the newer method.

That is not such simple and do not see benefit of that.

That is a good idea... from one seller...one order, one invoice, one shipping fee, one payout for seller...bla bla bla

My ideas...
- vendor(seller) payouts section. Admin will manage min. amount for vendor payout request. Vendor payout bank details form. Table for vendor requests + status (payed, processing, canceled).
- billing form
- shipping form
- shipping fee
- sellers terms and conditions
- pay on delivery option with commission charge for admin (% or fixed value). Seller will need to pay all commissions every week/month or if amount is more when ex. 50€. Seller will pay by card (similar way as user is buying credits.) If commision charge is not payed by seller, all sellers items will be deactivated.

It is enough for now, I thing. :-D :-D

Have a nice day. ;-)

Indeed, after giving it some more thought, this would be the better and easier solution and also it would also fix the absent shipping/delivery methods/cost.
So yeah, go for it.

Thanks!

No, in current state it does not make sense and is basically work of admin to organize sellers.
That is, in tangible products, problem. For intangible, you probably do not care.

@Frosticek
As a quick note for future development, if you're adding a delivery/shipping fee setting for physical goods, please note that at least 2 options are needed for the shipping cost:
- Standard shipping: X price
- Express shipping: Y price

The ideal way would be to have the ability to create unlimited shipping fee custom fields, that the Admin can enable/disable/rearrange and label as he wishes (you can recycle some code from the Attributes Plugin that does just that ;D).
For example if you have multiple shipping carriers (FedEx - faster but expensive, DHL - cheaper but slower etc.), the customer could see these options and select what suits him best.

Also, the shipping fee option should be a per product setting, so we can separate the digital products from the physical ones, like in the attached screenshot.

Now in my opinion, only 4 things remain to make this plugin absolutely perfect:
  • Limit cart to be able to process orders only with products from same seller
  • Add shipping options
  • eCommerce orders search, using the Order ID, Customer Email and Customer Name
  • Products Management - Search, using the item ID, Item Title, On sale, Quantity, Shipping fee and Status (this search will help if a store has lots of products and you need to quickly find one and make modifications)

This will help us a lot in creating a hybrid system - classifieds and eCommerce (selling our products) and also will bring eCommerce to Osclass (you can even create themes just for eCommerce! :o).

Thanks!

Waiting for the amazing Osclass eCommerce Bundle:
eCommerce Theme + Osclass Pay + Voucher & Discount + Invoice + Virtual Products :P

PS: It shouldn't take that long. At your awesome skill level, the Pay Plugin adjustments shouldn't take more than a few hours. The rest of the plugins are ready.
The theme though, will be harder.

Have a great day!

Well theme is not planned, it does not make sense to do business oriented themes
