2.3.0 Business Stable? and Hika Market & Warehouse

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2.2

Hi Team,

We would like to know the expected schedule for considering 3.2.0 as a stable release, as we are going to deliver our project about end of this month. We would like to know...

1) Is the current 3.2.0 works flawlessly with Joomla 3.2.2? Any major issues being reported or fixing in progress?
2) Do we need to upgrade or patch the HikaMarket (latest version) if we upgrade to HikaShop Biz 3.2.0?
3) We would like to know if the latest Warehouse management may fulfill our needs, please advise.
- We will have multiple vendor from different country
- Some of our vendor only sell their goods locally (warehouse = customer delivery address)
Q: Can we setup a products (via one of our vendor/hikaMarket) which can be sold locally (available to customer only when Warehouse country = delivery country) ?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Team / Jerome,

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

Since the "Warehouse" function is new to me (or this release), I am still a bit puzzled on and and would like to clarify a bit more, as below.

Shipping concern
1) If Customer from HK, would like to order 2 items: (1) Item A from Warehouse HK , and (2) Item B from Warehouse Singapore. That may involved 2 shipping fees for the same order; Is the Hikashop have any control or "clever" enough to ask customer to provide 2 shipping method ? (HK>HK for item 1, SG>HK for item 2) If yes, I expect 2 different methods and charges for the order. Am I correct? If no, then how the Hikashop handle (or reject?) the customer?

Taxes concern
2) For Taiwan, there is a 5% GST tax charge apply for LOCAL sale to a LOCAL customer. (Taiwan seller & Taiwan buyer). Is Hikashop / market understand how to handle this scenario?:
- a Taiwan Customer order Item C from a HongKong Vendor (with warehouse in HK). (should have no tax apply)
- a Taiwan Customer order Item D from a HongKong Vendor (with warehouse in TW). (should also have no tax apply because that a HK vendor, but only have storage / warehouse in Taiwan)

Combine situation
3) What happen if above scenario (1) & (2) happen in a same order? Is Hikamarket also be able to handle correctly?

Final question:
4) How to limit an oversea customer buying from a vendor / or a product which DO NOT offer oversea shipping / selling?

Sorry for such complicated question but it's what we are going to configure for our shop. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Brilliant! Thanks for your prompt explaination and we will wait for your announcement of the stable version of 2.3.0.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Hika Team,

I am still waiting for the stable version for 2.3.0. Actually I need this to adjust the layout of the latest version and re-align everything with the warehouse new function. Is it a good timing to download to do so? I can update again when the stable version is out. (even it's still 2.3.0) Do you prefer me to do so?

Or it will be released very shortly?

Thanks and please advise.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks then I will then upgrade to 2.3.0 for the pre-configuration and setup; and wait for your stable version next week and to patch it again.

We wish you all have a smooth presentation and good sales for the coming JoomlaDay. Thanks~

Hi Guys,

Is 2.3.0 good to go or should I hold off until it's released ?

Thanks Jerome, I will hold off on updating until next week.

Hi i have question about warehouses is it possible release next feature: when vendor create some product he can choose few warehouses for 1 product
example:
vendor sell products in 3 cities and have only local delivery - in city1 and city2 product present = checked 2 cities in city3 no product - not checked
so if customer have address from city1-2 he see that product if he live in city3 he dont see that or see warning message about that this product not present in his city
