Vendor invoice ??

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- HikaMarket version -- : 1.6.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.5.41

Hello,
I read several topics on the forum but could'nt figure out if it is possible or not to provide a customer with an invoice from an other vendor than the main one (displaying vendor logo, name, adress, VAT number) ?
Many thanks

Hello Jerome,

Thank you for your answer.
Currently, I set the number of vendors in the card to only one and the payments to offline (check) for testing purpose.
I found the invoice generation button in the vendor control panel and managed to create an invoice with the vendor information.

Any possibility to make this invoice directly avaliable to the customer in its control panel ?If there are several vendors products in the order, the different vendor invoices should be attached to the order and available for download by the customer.

In our case, products sold may have high individual price and be guaranteed by the vendor. If the vendor has to manually send his invoice each time a customer ask for it (and that would happen mostly every tyme), it would represent a big loss of time for vendors (compared to their own e-commerce process) and may be "deal-breaker".

I made some improvements in HikaMarket in order to override the "store_address" in the HikaShop invoice display in the front-end.
So when a customer will display his invoice in the front-end ; he will see the vendor address instead of the store address.
This override will only be made when the vendor limitation is activated in the cart and the order just have one single vendor.
(So even if you have "one extra vendor" and there is no product from the store, the override will be performed)

That would be something already very useful ! We may "live" I think with this card vendor limitation.
When you say you made these improvements, you mean that they are already available in the last release ? or in a test version ?

Hi Jerome,

Thank you for your last answer. Looking forward your next release then

About order and invoice management and making it easy to understand from the customer side, what would you think about this possible scheme :

- First, the customer would find in its user panel the list of all main orders he placed (and nothing else : no shipping order, no invoice at this stage as these main orders do not have legal value as they are only some kind of "containers").

- Then, by clicking on one of those, he would find the list of suborders contained by this main order.

- By clicking on one of these suborders, he would find the list of purchased products and would then access to the related vendor shipping order and invoice (the list of suborders and purchased products may be listed on the same page..).

By doing this, it may be less confusing for the customer about who sells what and who invoices who in the case of an order from several vendors ? Above the customer experience on the site, my concern is actually about legal responsibility and making clear that vendors are unique responsible for what they sell on the marketplace.
