Hi there,

We use the "Product Vendors" plugin by WooCommerce to track/pay for our vendor's products from our website, for reference:

Product Vendors Plugin: https://woocommerce.com/products/product-vendors/

Right now you can only assign one (1) vendor to one (1) product which is somewhat limiting when you have a single product (in our world "online education") where there are multiple Subject Matter Experts (need the ability to add 2+ vendors to 1 product) who contributed and we need to track their commissions.

Does the "B2B King" allow for you to assign one (1) or ideally more than 2+ "vendors" to a single product? AND where they could have varying commission rates (ex. percentage or flat rate basis)... we need a solution to track specific products where commission/royalty payments are made from purchases to product vendors, etc. that are paid out monthly.

I hope that makes sense, but does your plugin have similar functionality?

Thanks!

Hi Evan,

Thank you for getting in touch,

B2BKing doesn't have any features for product vendors / commissions.

We do have another plugin, MarketKing ( https://1.envato.market/MXvNgY ), that is a multi-vendor marketplace plugin. MarketKing has a variety of marketplace features: flat and percentage commissions, earnings, payouts, multiple offers for the same product and a lot more..

However, MarketKing also works in the same way: 1 product can only be assigned to 1 vendor. It is possible for multiple vendors to sell the same product, but only in the sense that they're competitors (e.g. Vendor A is selling MacbookPro16 for $1499, and Vendor B is selling it for $1399).

I understand you'd need to offer a commission to multiple vendors when a single product is purchased.

I'm not aware of any way you could do this.

It also raises some questions like: How does a vendor add a product ? - how does it get connected to another vendor ? do both vendors need to confirm the relationship ? It seems very niche, I'm not aware of a specific solution,. I think you'd need to do some kind of workaround or custom coding.

Kind regards,

Stefan
