Edit this Article (https://secure.helpscout.net/docs/558fe040e4b01a224b42f30a/article/5590c8eae4b027e1978eb962)

Manage Shipping Methods (Supplier Side)Suppliers can define their own shipping methods by clicking on 'Shipment Methods', under Settings, on theSupplier Panel.

When managing the shipping list, the supplier can modify an existing method, remove it or add a new one.

The suppliers can choose from Flat Rate, Table Rate or Free Shipping options.

Flat Rate and Table Rate require a handling fee.

https://secure.helpscout.net/docs/558fe040e4b01a224b42f30a/article/5590c8eae4b027e1978eb962



If suppliers choose the Table Rate option, they will have to upload the CSV file, like it is used in Magento table rates,so that shipping costs can be calculated automatically.

If no choice is made by the supplier, the shipping rate will be set as the default shipping rate.

Finally, remember to save your settings!

For more information on default rates and general configuration of shipping methods, please read the Multi-VendorMarketplace - Shipping Method Configuration (Admin Side) (http://creativeminds.helpscoutdocs.com/article/213-multi-vendor-manager-shipping-method-configuration) article.

Shipping Methods ConfigurationBefore you proceed, make sure that you have configured the Shipping Settings establishing the point of origin foryour store, and your preference for handling orders shipped to multiple addresses.

To do this navigate to System → Configuration, and then SALES → Shipping Settings.

The next step is to configure your Shipping Methods according to Rates, Checkout page and Carriers.

Checkout PageWhen the customer reaches the checkout page, under Shipping Method, he or she will see the shipping costsdefined by the admin in Supplier Marketplace and MultiShipping in the Shipping Methods section of theConfiguration settings.

The Supplier Marketplace method allows the customer to choose among rates options, and the information aboutsuppliers and their products kept hidden.

MultiShipping method allows the customer to choose from shipping costs defined by each supplier, as show in theimage below.

Shipping cost fornon-supplierproducts

{Numbervalue}

Customers can order products from different suppliers, or order productswhich weren’t created by the supplier but by the store admin. If any non-supplier products are ordered, this is the cost that will be added to the totalshipping price.

Default shippingcost if the supplierdoes not setshipping prices

{Numbervalue}

It's the supplier’s responsibility to set the shipping price for each order madeon their supplier account. However, if the supplier fails to set a shipping price, the default set for thisoption will be added to the shipping total for his products.

Minimum price forsupplier shippedsupplier products

{Numbervalue}

The minimum price of the total shipping costs.

MultiShippingThe MultiShipping method allows customers to have their order grouped by vendor, therefore having differentshipment information.

CarriersIf you have a commercial account with a supported carrier, you can offer your customers the convenience ofchoosing that carrier during checkout.

After configuring shipping settings to establish the point of origin for your store, complete the configuration for eachcarrier service that you want to offer. The rates are automatically downloaded, so you do not need to look up theinformation.

The configuration options vary for each carrier. However, all require that you first open a shipping account with thecarrier, and enter your account number or user ID, and the gateway URL to their system into the configuration of yourstore.

Remember that the carriers settings can be defined by the admin only and are not customizable by the supplier.Therefore, suppliers can only customize their shipping methods and rates, not the carrier.

Finally, remember to Save the Configuration!

Defining Shipping Methods by SupplierBesides the general configuration, the admin can also define specific shipping methods by supplier.

Navigate to Suppliers → Manage Suppliers and on the supplier's account information menu, select ShippingCosts.

On the next screen, as admin you'll be able to add a new method and/or enable and set the details according toeach type of rate:

Flat rate is a fixed, predefined charge that can be applied per item, or per shipment.

Table rate shipping method lets you set up a table to calculate shipping rates for a combination of conditions.It can be based on Weight v. Destination, Price v. Destination or # of Items v. Destination.

Free shipping

Using Store Table Rates for non-supplier productsIf the Store owner chooses they can add the option to offer Store table rates as a shipping method for non supplierproducts.

To do this, in the Admin Panel navigate to System → Configuration → Sales → Shipping Methods. In ShippingMethods go to the Supplier Marketplace section and in the "Shipping cost for non supplier products:" dropdown,choose "Based on Store Table Rates".

Remember you will need to upload the Store table rates CSV file. Do this from inside System Configuration, changethe scope of the configuration to "Main Website". Here, once again under Sales and Shipping methods, In TableRates Upload the file by clicking or dragging your Table Rates CSV to "Import".

On your Supplier Dashboard, navigate to Import → Products. On the 'Upload Products' page you can download theCSV schema you will need to use in order to upload products in bulk via CSV to the chosen Attribute. Be sure tofollow this schema.

This is an example of CSV schema(https://s3.amazonaws.com/helpscout.net/docs/assets/558f9e89e4b01a224b42f278/attachments/580f6d95c697915f88a37dbe/products_schema-example.csv) for accessories attribute:

Mistakes in the Products entered in the CSV will result in an error message as shown below. 1) 'Failed count'indicates the number of failed CSV imports, 2) 'Click here for full report' can be selected to display details on whythe product(s) failed to import. 3) In this case 'Value: steel', tells us that the material chosen is not a valid attribute.Attributes that are predefined such as material and category must be set by the administrator of the site.

Defining Categories by IDYou may choose to Predefine a list of categories that will be available for Vendors to use on your store. It can bebeneficial if you would like to have different categories with the same name, in which case you can assign themdifferent IDs. If you would rather define categories by ID rather than by Category Name Navigate to SUPPLIERFRONTEND PRODUCT UPLOADER → CSV IMPORT. Then Select 'Category Id(s) from 'Define Categories using:'

It's also possible toupload the various configurations for a configurable product. To do this start by uploading a Configurable product.This is done in the usual way as described above, however one of the products' ' type' must be set to "configurable".

Multi-Vendor Marketplace - Adding Supplier Nameto Product Page

Edit this Article (https://secure.helpscout.net/docs/558fe040e4b01a224b42f30a/article/5590cd62e4b027e1978eb96e)

Adding Supplier Name to Product PageOur customers experienced some difficulties with custom themes and displaying Sold By (supplier name) on product

pages. For that reason, we decided to move this feature to a separate block.

This separate block needs to be placed manually, following these steps:

1. Enable the Sold By feature in the Admin Panel

2. Edit your layout XML file (catalog.xml)

Keep in mind, If you don’t have a custom theme, and you use the Magento default template, this file is placed

at:

versions before 1.9: /app/design/frontend/base/default/layout

versions including and after 1.9: /app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout

3. Find the node called catalog_product_view and in reference called content, add the following line:

<block type=”marketplace/catalog_product_supplier_name” name=”marketplace.supplier.name” as=”sup

plier_name”/>

Your layout should now be ready!

"Sold by" can now be put anywhere in the template:

1. Go to your theme's template

2. Open catalog/product/view.phtml

3. Insert the following line where you would like the "Sold by" information to appear:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘supplier_name’);?>

Multi-Vendor Marketplace - One Product Multiple

Suppliers

Edit this Article (https://secure.helpscout.net/docs/558fe040e4b01a224b42f30a/article/58c67bcf2c7d3a576d35e443)

Making one Product available to Multiple Suppliers

CreativeMinds Marketplace is capable of making one item available to all existing and newly registering suppliers

and vendors for them to sell. This feature allows a level of standardisation that can make your shop neater as well as

helping to create competition on price within your Marketplace.

Configuration

To configure One Product to be available to Multiple Vendors Navigate to System → Configuration → SupplierFrontend Product Uploader

Choose "Yes" from the Multiple Vendors per Product Option. Then choose how Marketplace will decide which

vendor's product to display (Sort Level, Lower Price, Supplier Rating).

Settings for how Magento will choose which Vendor's product to Display on the front end of the site:

1) Sort Level - The manual option. You specify the which order the vendors should be favoured in manually

(more on this further down). Then vendors will be displayed in this order provided they have products in stock.

2) Lower Price - The vendor selling the item at the lowest price who has the item in stock will appear first, when

they run out the vendor with the next lowest price and product in stock will appear and so on.

3) Supplier Rating - The supplier with the highest customer rating and the item in stock will appear first, then

when they run out the vendor with the next highest rating and the item in stock will appear and so on.

Keep in mind, besides the settings for which supplier to show first the Admin can set one of the suppliers as "Main"

and this supplier will be shown on the front end of the store regardless of their Sort Level, Price they're selling at or

their Supplier Rating.

Ordering preference of Vendors for the same product by Sort

Level

To order the vendors manually you need to choose Sort Level from the configuration page shown above, in the Showthese Products depends on: dropdown, then Save Config.

https://secure.helpscout.net/docs/558fe040e4b01a224b42f30a/article/58c67bcf2c7d3a576d35e443

Next Navigate to the Supplier Products page, Catalog → Supplier Products. You can see the "Sort Level" column

here. To edit the Sort Level of a product, click on Edit on the far right of the Product's row.

Scroll down to the Sorting Level by Supplier Codes input and enter a number based on whether you want the

product the Supplier to have a higher or lower preference / chance of showing when a customer visit's the store. A

lower number means a higher chance of showing up for a customer, a higher number means less chance of being

seen.

It's important to note that if you leave an undefined supplier product then it is automatically granted a Sort Level of 0

and will appear first. When you have done, click save in the top right.

If no Sorting Level is applied and multiple vendors have subscribed to the same product, and the product is set to

show depending on sorting level, then the first supplier to upload the product will appear.

In the case below, supplier with ID 213 will appear on the front end of the site and will be able to sell the product.



Setting a product as 'Main Product'

It is possible for the Admin to override the Configuration for Product Supplier preference on Marketplace at any time

by setting a product as "Main". This is done inside Catalog → Supplier Products. If this is done this Supplier will

appear on the front end of the site as the seller until they are out of stock. And will appear above other suppliers

again if they get more products back in stock later.
