Invoice for vendor and customer

Really thank you. I appreciate so much your grat support!

Hi Jerome,

first thank you so much for your great support. Sure this will be a very very good review on JED.

Now, let's do what you think is better. If you wanna let me test it before you officially release it, I'm available for testing it.

Thanks so much!

Hi Jerome,

Did you receive my last email about 2 weeks ago?

Any news?

Thanks so much.

Hi Jerome, thanks for answer.

I try to explain better.


This is the correct way the invoice system should work when I "send" money to vendor when I "pay" him (send him total money minus my fee, VAT and PayPal commission.)

My VAT is 21%. Paypal fee is 0,77€ in this example.

If the buyer buy something that cost 10€ + VAT + PayPal Fee, he spends 10€ + 2,10€ + 0,77€ = 12,87€

I earn 30% of 10€ and vendor earn 70% of 10€. Now, is the vendor that sell, so he will provide to buyer an invoice for 12,87€, but this doesn't matter to me. Vendor can generate manually his invoices.

Now, I must send to vendor 7€ + VAT (21% of 7€ = 1,47€) = 8,47€. This is the real amount of money I must send to him when I "pay" him.

Then I take 12,87€-8,47€=4,4€

This is divided into 3 parts and I must generate an invoice with this items for the vendor:

- my fee = 3€ (30% of 10€)
- paypal fee = 0,77€
- VAT = 0,63€ (21% of my fee: 3€)

Total = 4,4€


Thats the right way I should pay the vendor and also the right way I need to generate the invoice with those 3 items.

- Order full price (with tax) => 10€ + VAT + PayPal Fee: 10€ + 2,10€ + 0,77€ = 12,87€
- Products price (with tax)=> 10€ + VAT = 12,10€
- Products tax => VAT (21%) = 2,10€

- Shipping price (without tax) = 0€
- Shipping tax price => VAT (21%) = 0€

- Payment price (without tax) => I mean with this the amount that I have to "pay" (send money) to vendor = 7€
- Payment tax price = VAT (21% of 7€) = 1,47€

- Discount price (without tax) = 0€
- Discount tax price => VAT (21%) = 0€

- Vendor total = 7€ + VAT (21% of 7€ = 1,47€) = 8,47€

X = Product price without VAT
Y = Reverse of the fee that I take over the vendor without VAT. In my case I set a fee of 30% (ALFA = 0.3) on the Vendor so Y = 1-0.3 = 0.7
Z = Total amount I want to "pay" to Vendor with VAT
TAX = 21% = 0.21 according to Taxes rules (in my case is 21%)
ALFA = my fee over vendor = 30% = 0.3
BETA = PayPal fee = in my case is 0.77€ as setted in payments methods (this is automatically calculated by hikashop when I set paypal plugin)
GAMMA1 = Shipping price = 0€ in my case
GAMMA2 = Shipping tax price = 0€ in my case
TETA1 = Discount price = 0€ in my case
TETA2 = Discount tax price = 0€ in my case

Amount of money I "pay" to vendor is Z = (X + TAX*X)*Y + GAMMA1+GAMMA2-TETA1-TETA2 = (10 + 0.21*10)*0.7 + 0+0-0-0 = 8,47€


Invoice for vendor should report those items=>

ALFA (my fee) = X*ALFA = 10€*0.3 = 3€
PayPal fee = 0,77€
VAT = ALFA*TAX = 3€*0.21 = 0,63€ (21% of my fee: 3€)

SubTotal = ALFA + PayPal fee = 3€ + 0,77€
Total = ALFA + PayPal fee + VAT = 3€ + 0,77€ + 0,63€ = 4,40€



In this alghoritm I consider that Hikashop already calculates some variables as Shipping, Discount etc...
If something is missing, please tell me.

Jerome wrote: The VAT is not in my variable list, I could not know what it is, where it came from.

VAT = ALFA*TAX

TAX = according to Taxes rules specified in Hikashop Taxes (in my case is 21% it's called IVA in Italy)
ALFA = the fee I apply to vendor or products (can be a percentage or a fixed value)



Anyway I understand that this feature request is going into a "cul-de-sac"...

I cannot use Hikamarket at this point, but I'm not the only one who cannot use a software that work this way unless they want to use it NOT respecting laws or the correct way of payments, etc.., really sorry. Hikamarket could be a fantastic software, but really can't work at the moment.

I could just forget about the invoice feature, ok, I could manually generate every invoice when the vendor "pay" me, but the main problem is the amount of money I send him (or he pays me...): I cannot send 5,10€ to the vendor (as it do now with one example) when I must send him 8,47€ real!

Thanks so much anyway for trying to build a solution. Hope you'll find a solution in future.

Thanks so much, I'll try to look at it to let it work for my needs.

"order_full_price" already includes the PayPal cost? A moment it seems not including it. if not including it which is the variable for PayPal cost?

Got this error when I try to pay the vendor with the plugin:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/account/public_html/plugins/hikamarket/vendorpayinvoice/vendorpayinvoice.php on line 35
