Virtuemart Multi Vendor
We have Multi Vendor Site based on Virtuemart 1.0.15 with a lot of different hacks.
Due to the many hacks there are a lot of different bugs which have to be solved. If the customer wants to buy products of one single vendor, then it is no problem. Everything is correct, shipping costs, fees for different payments methods and the confirmation e-mail are calculated and sent correctly.
But we have problems when the customers orders articles from more then one vendor. The shipping costs were calculated wrong, they have to splitted up to each of the indivudual order and not sum up the shipping costs, if there is only one big order for all articles.
The main problem is that at the checkout the order is not splitted up. The orders were splitted up after the order has been placed and the e-mails were sent. We implemented a method so that the customer only got one big e-mail with all information about the different vendors and ordered goods and also the shipping costs of each indivudual order (doesnt work 100 % correctly, but prework is done)
so namely this are the main tasks of this project
- rework checkout process to a real multi vendor system with independent shipping rates to each individual order
- modifiy shipping methods and payment methods (cash on delivery, bank transfer and paypal/credit card) to fit the requirements of a correct multi vendor checkout
- review the big order e-mail which is sent to the customer (meets the requirements of multi vendor not up to 100 %)
- rework coupon system (com_couponsystem) so that it also works with the multi vendor system (it should be possible create coupons with advanced criteria for example items from 100 to 500 –> 10
