presale questions

Hi,

1. HikaMarket handle the two different modes.
You can configure HikaShop+HikaMarket to work normally, where your store will be paid directly ; but you can also configure some payment methods to let your vendors be paid directly.
It is also possible to use the plugin "paypal adaptive" in order to pay everybody in the same time thanks to the "adaptive" API.

2. Vendors can't set their own shipping methods for the moment but they can use the "shipping price per product" feature.
HikaMarket have several shipping options like "split shipping fee" (splitting the shipping price depending to their ratio in the order total) or "shipping per vendor" (creating virtual warehouses).

3-1. HikaMarket create what we call "sub sales" ; one sub sale is create for each vendor.
So they can't see the full order content and can't see the elements of the other vendors.

3-2. Yes, HikaMarket allow customer to review sellers using the HikaShop vote/comment system.

4. The HikaMarket languages files are available in the language page.
www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html
Like for HikaShop, you can translate the component in your language if not available and you can override the existing languages to feet to your requirements.

5. HikaMarket handle 4 different modes.

Hi,

The HikaShop demo website also have HikaMarket multi-vendor installed.
demo.hikashop.com/
Using the demo account, you can access to the front-end and back-end features.

HikaMarket does not have particular conflict with templates even if it could require some CSS adjustments some times.
For the stars in comparison ; I will require more details about the element you're talking about.

Hi,

The seller's shipping are shipping methods with a filter for the vendor. You can edit them in the HkaShop backend.
For the plugin "shipping price per product", you have to activate the corresponding option in a shipping method and give the right to your vendors ; then the section "shipping price per product" will be display when editing a product in the front-end.

To fix a price for new products, it use the "product template".
In the HikaMarket configuration, the last tab allow you to manage the product templates.
You can then assign a product template to a vendor (or to everybody).
By removing the ACL "product / edit / price", your vendors won't be able to set a price and the price from the product template will be used instead.

For the stars in the compare page ; you can move your move to the label in the first column of the table.
The "Products" section is in the HikaShop part of the compare page ; so I recommend you to see directly with the HikaShop support team for more details (if the tooltip for the label is not clear enough).

Hi,

Yes the vendor can (for the moment) only configure a shipping price for their products.
By using that feature, the setting "shipping per vendor" and a manual shipping method, your vendors can have their hand on the shipping price.

Our plan for HikaMarket 1.6.0 is to have an interface to let the vendors configure the shipping from the front-end.
So they will be able to put their credentials for Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc.

Hi,

For the moment, I do not have schedule for the 1.6 release.
We just released HikaMarket 1.5.1 and I'm still working on the improvement of the documentation ; we want to be sure that the characteristic edition is working fine before starting a new big feature.
But once the current version will be right for users, we will be able to launch the new developments and the shipping edition is in our top-list in the TODO list.

Hi,

Why too high ?
The store can have generic shipping rules for every vendors and the vendor is not force to use the "shipping price per product".
He can also put low shipping price for the products.
So I really don't understand your question.

Hi,

Seller set his shipping for product A-20, for product B-20, for product C-20. If a buyer buys product A,B and C, he will pay 30 for shpiing, is that right?

I don't understand how you can have a shipping price "30" with products set to "20".
So no, it is not right and I don't understand how you came to this result.

Now you are right you can set low shipping. But no seller knows how many pruducts together he will ship in one order, right? So if he sets too low shipping, he can undergo on shipping. If he sets shipping normal, that it will multiply according to products.

If you configure the shipping methods correctly in the backend, you do not need to add some extra fees for specific products.

I was basically asking how does HikaMarket works in this way and if there are some options to make rule, example: if a buyer buys till 10 products in one order, he will pay only the highest shipping of all buyed products.

HikaMarket does not handle that part of the shipping and there is no option or shippint method in HikaShop which allow to pay the shipping of the "bigger" product. It will require some development if you want such specific shipping processing.

About the templates, we list in the page all template specially made for HikaShop but you can use HikaShop with a lot of other templates.
The joostrap templates are compatible with HikaShop ; they are using bootstrap 2 and HikaShop have a "bootstrap 2" design.

Hi,

1/ The goal of "shipping price per product" is to put a specific shipping price on a product.
The price is for a product but can evolve depending the product quantity.

2. You can create different shipping methods and separate them using warehouses.
So you can have a warehouse for "standard shipping" and another for "standard shipping with COD".
The vendor could choose in which warehouse he put the product.
Using that, the vendor won't have the need to specify a shipping price for their products ; they will just set the shipping "rule" they want to use.

3. Yes, they are settings in HikaShop for that.

Hi,

As I explained in my previous messages : the vendor can't configure the shipping methods for the moment.
He can set one single warehouse for a product or configure shipping prices for a product ; nothing more.

If you want special rules for your shipping, it requires the development of a custom shipping plugin.
