TOPIC:

Using the Shipping by Rules plugin for Woocommerce, is it possible to define shipping costs on a per vendor basis?

i.e. Shipping fee is $5 per vendor. The customer buys multiple products from Vendor A and then multiple products from Vendor B. On checkout this will show a $10 shipping fee ($5 per vendor x 2 vendors).

So far I've only encountered per product shipping support, not per vendor. But if this is possible with your plugin that would be fantastic. Thank you!

Dear LeemoSupreemo,
Support for shipping costs per vendor is only limited in our plugin. However, if your shipping cost structure is really as simple as "5$ for each vendor in the cart", then it can be easily achieved:

PS: This requires the paid version of the plugin, as the free plugin does not contain the code to evaluate any mathematical expressions...

Hi Reinhold

I just bought the plugin, exactly for this specific case. Unfortunately, the following error message appeared:

Evaluation yields unknown value while evaluating rule part 'Vendors'.

My setup:
WordPress Version 4.8.1
WooCommerce Version 3.1.2
WooCommerce Advanced Shipping By Rules Version 2.0
WooCommerce Product Vendors Version 2.0.40

Thanks for your help!

Best, Philipp

Hello Reinhold,

Since we're launching next week, my issue is somewhat pressing.

We’re charging a fixed fee per vendor (40) and a fixed fee for every article (20) in the cart.

Here’s what I came up with:
Shipping=40*length(Vendors)+20*Articles

As I explained above, the following error message keeps appearing:
Evaluation yields unknown value while evaluating rule part 'Vendors

What do you think?

Best,
Philipp

Dear Philipp,
Unfortunately, WooCommerce does not have a proper developer program, so I don't always have access to the latest version of WC Product Vendors. The latest version that I was able to test was WC Product Vendors 1.2.3 (just tested a minute ago, and the shipping was properly including the length of the vendors list). Apparently WooThemes must have changed something in the plugin in an incompatible way, so our plugin broke. As I said, I don't have a copy of the latest version, so I can't debug or fix the problem...

Shall I refund your order? Alternatively, if you can provide me with a copy of WooCommerce Product Vendors, I can check whether I can quickly spot a fix...

Best regards,
Reinhold

Thank you for your help Reinhold.
Please find attached the latest version of WC Product Vendors (2.0.40).

Philipp

Dear Philipp,
Thank you for providing a copy of the plugin. WooThemes indeed changed the API of their plugin, so I had to update our plugin to be compatible with the product vendors plugin >=2.0, too.

Please update our plugin to the latest version 2.0.2, which should contain the fix and properly make the Vendors variable available.

Best regards,
Reinhold

PS: You might need to manually check for an update in the WordPress plugin page, as the automatic version check for updates runs only twice a day.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much Reinhold. Great support, you saved my a**! Herzlichen Dank :)
Best,
Philipp

Problem solved.
