Hi Darrel, Loved this video. But this is the exactly same as previous video. I recommend you to do local multi-vendor website including taking care of shipping / how will vendors or admins can work shipping, like connecting local shipping, choosing the right logistics etc / thanks

Hi, it is one of the best tutorial I ever see, I have one request! could you do some tutorial how to select Pickup or shipping option for the Vendor?

Thank you, Darrel, I really enjoyed this tutorial! I know how big efforts you've made to make it happen. Thank you again

[@henrydillon2115]

Hello Darrellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll....sorry for that, I'm just over excited after watching this video. I wanted to ask if there was a way to automatically transfer money to vendors when they request for a withdrawal instead of having to go to pay pal and then do it manually as you showed in the video. Also, I'm in Ghana, a country west of Africa. Here, instead of credit cards or paypal etc, most people prefer to use MOMO. This is actually much more easier to use since you just have to use your mobile number to register a 'bank account' with your service provider and then you have your money on your phone. In my case the buyers and sellers will prefer this option to pay pal for instance. i don't know if there's a plugin like that that i could add.

[@darrelwilson]

it doesnt work automatically. You may need to send the withdrawals manually

[@thefranklin1213]

@Henry Dillion I want to have a discussion with you…. Can I have your number please

[@everybooking2691]

Great tutorial, thanks. Question: My store vendors are categorised. How do I list the stores within the vendor category and THEN once the user selects the specific store it should list the products ?

[@halleluyaholuwapelumi1687]

Hello. I am glad you asked this question. I have been on a project that is using Dokan for multivendor and it needs this for about a week now. I have looked stack overflow, WordPress community etc. No one could help. I don't want my vendor store to show the products directly. I want it to show categories (Of the products) and when a category is clicked, it shows the products therein. Apparently, this is not a function in the plugin yet. Please, kindly give me pointers when you get the solution. I will be immensely grateful. Thank you again. I know this is a public space but let me know if it is okay to put my email here so you can email me incase this gets lost amidst the comments. Thank you.

[@embroidery-world]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I have played with Dokan and WMFC before and can't quite get what I want - need a main store and then also allow vendors to sell their products? any suggestions?? ty

[@HassanGhazawi]

Hi Darrel, I'd like to ask you if there is any way to give vendors different levels of options if I'm in a paid plan?

[@julietgitau9475]

Thanks for the great tutorial Darrel. Is there a way to have the store name as an optional rather than mandatory field when the vendor is registering?

[@alexh3199]

Thank you for the help. I thought I saw it in the video earlier but I cant seem to find it so apologies. How to I make sure that customers can shop from multiple vendors at the same time? Thank you.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To ensure customers can shop from multiple vendors simultaneously, configure your Dokan settings to enable multi-vendor shopping. This feature allows customers to add products from different vendors to their cart and check out in a single transaction. Check the Dokan documentation or settings under Dokan > Settings > General to make sure this option is enabled. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

How do you force users to process payments on your website instead of in person? Some local users may decide to pay when they see the merchandise in person, therefore bypassing the store commission system.

[@bbpai8243]

Hi Darrel, I watched probably hundreds of hrs of many of yours video. Step by step... using a lot of the same theme. I'm working on a multi ecommerce myself with some creative twist, and learning as I go. Then I recently I like your 2024 ecommerce, you using Blocksy, but I keep astra and free elementor version, Dokan. the problem, I can't seem to figure out for weeks is why my basket sliding animation that are comes from the right side swing all the way to the left fast and back to the right to show 40%. Any suggestion why the basket / cart when click on would swings out from right to left and settle back at right?

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! The cart animation issue might be due to a CSS or JavaScript conflict. Temporarily switch to a default theme and disable all plugins except Elementor and Dokan, then re-enable them one by one to find the conflict. Ensure everything is updated and check the browser console for errors when clicking the cart. This should help resolve the problem.

[@juggla4evr1]

Good in depth video. How much would a site like this cost if I paid someone to make it for Me? Also what plugin is needed for automatic product pricing displaying products price in real time?

[@raindrops7044]

Can I use this for a multi-vendor food ordering website? No delivery portal necessary.

[@tony.francis]

Darrel, I noticed that we need to have a PayPal account in order to approve or send the amount to the vendor manually, is that true? Because I live in a country not covered by PayPal or Stripe. In addition, do I need a stripe account to also send the money to the vendor if they selected the bank transfer option only? Thanks for clarifying! 🙏 (By the way, you are SO SKILLED in teaching and making a presentation smooth and easy to grasp man! What a talent).

[@darrelwilson]

No, the vendor doesn't need to have WordPress for you to connect the API for live booking availability. As long as the API is accessible, you can integrate it with your WordPress site to fetch live availability data from the vendor's system.

Hello! Great tutorial! Just a quick question. Is the dokan comission in US$ or can it be set to another currency?

[@bridgestoafrica3809]

Also, how do we incorporate printing shipping labels for the vendors? Thanks again.

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! To incorporate printing shipping labels for vendors in Dokan, you can use a third-party plugin like "WooCommerce Shipping" or "Dokan Shipping" for the integration. You can also use plugins like "ShipStation" or "WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips" to automate and generate shipping labels for vendors. These plugins allow vendors to print their own shipping labels directly from their dashboard. Make sure to set up the shipping options for vendors within Dokan's settings. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

I really appreciate this video! Is there a way to make it so I would take 10% commission and then vendors would get the rest without me having to pay them out? Not sure if that is possible but it would make it much easier to not have to manage payouts. EDIT: Would this be me turning on the reverse withdraw and disabling the regular withdraw?

[@darrelwilson]

Hey! Yes, you can automate the commission process by turning on "Reverse Withdrawal" in the Dokan plugin settings and disabling the regular withdrawal option. This way, the vendors automatically receive their earnings minus your 10% commission without you having to manage payouts manually. It streamlines the process and makes it much easier to manage your marketplace. Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below.

Concerning the Dokan Multi-vendor plugin, is there a way to enable a vendor who maintains their own website to collaborate with us on an eCommerce page for product listings? In this scenario, if a customer makes a purchase on either our Multi-Vendor platform or the vendor's site, would the purchased items be reflected in the vendor's inventory on the Multi-Vendor dashboard? Additionally, is it possible to integrate the products listed on the vendor's website with the same checkout process, allowing customers to complete their purchase without leaving the vendor's website?

There is a vacation mode. But are you talking about buyers not buying online during a brick & mortar store's closed hours? If that is the case I would say let them keep buying...that's the beauty of the internet. Maybe I'm missing something in your question though.

@@lydialutz thanks Lydia. I actually found a way to specify store opening & closing times and the system automatically shuts off the store after hours. In my case, its purely a local delivery concept so we can't have any overnight or beyond purchases. It has to be same day order & delivery/pickup.
