Commission based on customer payment method

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- HikaMarket version -- : 1.6.7
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8

I have been asked to build a multi-vendor site with the following requirements:

• The customer can pay using any method set up ( PayPal, Stripe, Cheque, BACS etc)
• The main vendor receives the payment
• Main-vendor then pays sub-vendors after deducing commission and fees from payment provider (ie PayPal)

If there was a method of basing the commission on the payment method that the customer used I think this would could be achieved. For example if the customer paid by PayPal who charged 3.5% and the vendors commission was 10% then deducting 13.5% from the sub-vendors payment would work. If the customer paid by BACS then just 10% would be deducted.
To do this I guess would require a filter in the commission area that selects the commission rate based on the method of payment used.

Would this work?
Can it be done?

Thanks

Hi,

There is no such built-in option in HikaMarket to do so, specially because commission rules can be set on products.
But it is possible to implement it using a small custom plugin.
With the two trigger "onBeforeMarketCalculateVendorPrice" "onAfterMarketCalculateVendorPrice", you can change dynamically the content or completely override how the commission is processed.

Depending your current commission rules ; you can simply use the "onAfterMarketCalculateVendorPrice" trigger and subtract the 3.5% payment charge of the $ret variable (which contains the final vendor price).

Regards,

Thanks Jerome, that looks promising.

As the commission adjustment will vary according to the method of payment that the customer used is there a way of retrieving the payment method within the trigger functions?

Hi,

In the trigger, you have access to the Vendor order object, which contains the order payment method (and order payment id).

Regards,

Thanks again Jerome.

Time to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty!

I managed to get it working and have attached a copy if anyone wants to use it.
