HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)

Hello Javed,

Thank you for your feedback,

We are familiar with this - we have already implemented HPOS for our other plugins, but it is especially difficult to implement for MarketKing (because MarketKing has a lot of order-related features and code, split-orders, composite orders etc), so we need more time for it. We are aiming to implement this until the end of this year.

For now, we would advise to deactivate HPOS until this is ready.

We would be happy to hear any other suggestions you might have - it's helpful to us in knowing in which direction to take the plugin forward,

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hi there,

I checked and for some reason the pages here were not set:

I am not sure how this happened. I set them again to the vendors list and dashboard pages.

I believe this is now working and I can access the stores page as well as individual stores.

Are you still seeing any issue with any page? If so, please let me know which one.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Got it, thanks for clarifying,

It seems the issue was because of the index.php in the URL, which was conflicting with the dashboard's URL processing. I changed that in Permalinks settings:

It seems to be working now for me:

Thank you, that worked.

I believe the issue is resolved now - it had to do with a specific setting - I have modified that and will include a change in the next update so that this does not happen again,

Let us know if you see any further issues,

Kind regards,

Stefan

The Store Tabs and Store Tabs Content widgets can only be used on the vendor's store page, such as:

https://sellappa.com/letsbuy/

Store Tabs contains the link here:

And Store Tabs Content contains the tabs inside such as:

Regarding badges, I am able to see those:

If you would like, it's possible to make the Related Products area on the product page only show products of the same vendor. That can be done by adding this snippet to the site:

add_filter('marketking_related_products_same_vendor','__return_true');

Other than that, I think the only options would be to add various product widgets.

I looked at that error and I believe I've found the issue.

To solve it, please try to update to the attached version of the MarketKing Core plugin. 

To update, first deactivate your existing version of MarketKing Core

Then upload and activate the attached version.

Hi Javed,

The methods configured here in the backend are automatically / forced enabled for all vendors:

They do not show on the vendor dashboard - however, they will be automatically enabled for all vendor orders. Here you should only add methods if you want to force all vendors to accept them.

On the vendor dashboard, only the methods that the vendor configures themselves will show. The vendor can click on a zone, and then configure methods for it:

After clicking on a zone, the vendor can use the "add shipping method" button:

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hello Javed,

I looked into this now.

It seems an error occurs while the product is being saved. The error is from a conflict with the XStore Sales Booster "quantity discounts" feature - it tries to run a function while marketking is saving the product.

If that checkbox / feature is disabled, the issue is resolved - I have now disabled it and I can save the product. I am not sure if this is a feature you are using (sales booster quantity discounts). If you are, we can try to make a special integration there to allow both to work together, please let me know.

Regarding the bell icon there, I see that leads to a Notifications page.

I see this is a feature of the "WooCommerce Live Notifications" plugin. It may be possible to extend their plugins to add MarketKing elements there, but complex custom coding would be required. 

We can send you any technical info needed here for a customization from our side, but please note we do not do customizations or custom coding directly as we focus exclusively on developing our plugins,

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hi again,

Thank you for the details,

(1) Regarding the issue when clicking the + - buttons:

It seems there is a JS error there on the page when trying to click:

I believe it is most likely some kind of plugin conflict with another plugin that has scripts effects. I find online that it may be a jQuery version conflict.

I tried deactivating MarketKing Core and Pro to check, but the issue still occurs therefore I believe this is not related to our plugins,

I would suggest to try deactivating all other site plugins until you can identify the conflict.

(2) Regarding the contact form, the problem is that it is the same form in two different places:

Unfortunately the scripts were only built for the form to be once on the page.

I can remove the 'product inquiry' area if you'd prefer it, or make one area scroll to the other.

(3) I have made an integration to make it work with the Xstore quantity discounts feature.

Hello Javed,

Thank you for your suggestions,

(2) Regarding Private Store functionality, this is already possible through the integration between B2BKing and MarketKing: https://marketkingplugin.com/docs/wholesale-b2b-b2bking-integration/

Our B2BKing plugin is a dedicated B2B solution with probably the most advanced featureset on the market.

Regarding a notification feature and additional dashboard functionality: we will consider this for future updates. We are working on improving the plugin, it is just a matter of priorities and trying to do the most important aspects first. We appreciate your feedback,

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hello Javed,

I would like to mention that UPS has also been integrated, specifically through this plugin: https://woo.com/products/ups-shipping-method/

We will be looking into also adding FedEx and DHL, thank you for the feedback.

Hi again,

I have written the following PHP code snippet that you can add to your site: https://pastecode.io/s/tas3idx7

After adding that snippet, you can then use the following shortcodes:

[marketking_store_link] - outputs the URL of the vendor's store (e.g. https://site.com/stores-list/walmart)

[marketking_product_vendor] - outputs the name of the vendor's store (e.g. 'Walmart')

[marketking_vendor_rating] - outputs the rating of the vendor's store (e.g. 5 stars)

[marketking_followers] - outputs the number of followers of the vendor (e.g. 123)

[marketking_vendor_order_number] - outputs the number of orders of the vendor (e.g. 456)

These shortcodes work based on the current product OR current vendor store URL, so they can be added to a product page or a vendor store page.

Regarding these 2 you mentioned:

4. marketking()->get_vendor_products

5. marketking()->get_vendors_of_order

Here I am not quite sure about the usage:

- Normally get_vendor_products returns all products of the vendor. What should the shortcode display? Should it display products as on the archive / shop page, e.g.?

- And what should get_vendors_of_order display? This normally takes a multi-vendor order id (composite order with multiple vendors) and gets all vendors in that order. I am not sure where you would place this shortcode (on what page), and what it should display.

Hi Javed,

1. For the get vendor products i just wanna show other products of the listed products by the same vendor, in a slider or paginated manner.

For this, I cannot write a shortcode to be added on the main vendor page, because the shortcode would not be able to know which other products have been displayed on the page already.

It can be done only for the single product page.

But in that case, we already have the 'related products' shortcode: [related_products] . Again, this is only for the single product page.

If you'd like, you can make the related products shortcode / area only show products of the same vendor (And not other vendors as well). To do that, add this code snippet to your site:

add_filter('woocommerce_related_products', 'marketking_related_products_same_vendor', 99999, 3);
function marketking_related_products_same_vendor( $related_posts, $product_id, $args ){
    
    $vendor_id = marketking()->get_product_vendor($product_id);
    $vendor_products = wc_get_products( array( 
        'numberposts' => 10,
        'post_status'    => array( 'publish' ),
        'author'   => $vendor_id,
        'orderby' => 'rand',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'return' => 'ids',
    ));
    return $vendor_products;
}

It will modify all related products areas.
