Hi

When a Hika Market Vendor sets up a new Product, can he choose which Shipping Methods is actual for this Product?

I mean, some products might be "Pick-up at Vendor address only" and cannot or will not be shipped. Others will be shipped with one shipping company doing small packages at one cost, and other products is only possible to ship with a 2rd shipping company due to heavy weight, etc.

Can Vendor select shipping methods for particular product he is setting up?

Hi Jerome
That sounds nice! I will give it a look.

I guess, that if a Vendor then set a shipping price per a product it will override my normal calculated shipping price per weight I have set up to use the only one shipping method I have in my shop?

Hi Jerome

I will continue in this threat and hope it's OK. In an email to me regarding a bug in shipping calculation you mentioned the Warehouse term. I'm trying to get my head around this and think that you just gave me a solution to this threat.

Here is what I figured out, correct me if I'm wrong.

Warehouse is like a virtual container, so I do this:

1. Create 3 Warehouses:
   Pickup only
   Shipping only
   Pickup and Shipping
2. Create 4 or more shipping methods based on "HikaShop manual shipping plugin" and restrict them to the Warehouse of same name:
   Warehouse Pickup only: Pickup only (shipping method)
   Warehouse Shipping only: Shipping only (shipping method)
   Warehouse Pickup and Shipping: Pickup and Shipping (shipping method)
   For this last Warehouse/Shipping method I create some 3-4 more shipping methods with restrictions on weight, 0-5000g, 5001-10000g, etc. to get calculated shipping price based on weight.
3. When a Vendor then creates a new product he has to decide what "Wharehouse" this product should belong to. Should customer only be able to pickup product? Or can customer get this product shipped?

I have done some test on this and if I look at checkout Cart/Shipping it seems to work they way I would expect Yeeha!

Question: Is there a way to set default Wharehouse to "Pickup only" when my vendor creates a new product?

Hello Henrik,

When a Vendor then creates a new product he has to decide what "Wharehouse" this product should belong to. Should customer only be able to pickup product? Or can customer get this product shipped?

If you only have shipping methods restricted to defined warehouses then yes, your vendors will have to choose to which warehouse their products will belong to.

Regarding your customers it will actually depend on what you want to do and how you configured your shipping methods, Hikashop will just handle the shipping price definition regarding the order and also the payment of that shipping price.

Question: Is there a way to set default Wharehouse to "Pickup only" when my vendor creates a new product?

There is actually no option to do that so it will probably require some code customization.

Hi Mohamed

There is actually no option to do that so it will probably require some code customization.

I can live with this for now, that the default Warehose for new products is "none" and then my vender needs to pick one. Later I would like it so that default is "Pickup" so that customers at least can pick up prodcts at vendor. And only if vendor selct "Pickup and Shippeng", the customer can expect the product is shipped.

I think this will work for me, with this setup of Warehose I got.

Thank you!

Regards,
Henrik

Correction:
Product default template will solve this:
In the HikaMarket configuration, first tab, you have a setting named "default product template".
I made a product template that has Warehase set to "Pickup"

It's working!
