Presentation
The fees in HikaMarket allow you to configure the price fee (or commission) for your vendors.
We called "fee" the price that your store will keep in the vendor transaction.
So with a 10% configured fee, the vendor price will be 90% of the order product prices.
Please note that HikaMarket have also a notion of "fee / commission" for the payments.
We called "fee mode" when your store will be paid directly and you will have to pay them back.
We called "commission mode" when your vendors are paid directly and they have to pay you back (your commission).
The fees inheritance
The fees configuration can be override per vendor and per product. The system have an inheritance structure.
General configuration > Vendor configuration > Product configuration
HikaMarket will start to look at the fee configuration in the product itself, then in the vendor and finally in the global configuration.
So if you configure some fees for a product, you will be sure that only this fee configuration will be use when the product will be bought. You can use it if you have a very special deal for a product.
You can override the fees for a specific vendor or simply add a new rule. If any vendor rule match with the order, the fees in the global configuration will be use.
The fees configuration
The fee configuration interface is quite the same in the different parts (configuration / vendor / product) but some fields are not present in the product page because it does not have implication.
| Currency (filter) | The fees depends on the currency of the order. Please be careful to set at least one fee configuration per used currency in your store. |
| Minimum quantity (filter) |
By default the minimum quantity is 1. Thanks to this option you can have a different fee configuration if the customer buy several items of the product. Depending the option "global fee", this filter will be applied on the product quantity or on the order quantity (quantity of products in the order) itself. |
| Minimum price (filter) |
By default the minimum price is 0. Thanks to this option you can have a different fee configuration if the product price is higher than the filled value. Depending the option "global fee", this filter will be applied on the product price or on the order price. |
| Flat fee | A flat fee is a fee applied per product, so it depends on the product quantity in the order. |
| Fixed fee | A fixed fee does not depend on the product quantity, it will be applied just once. |
| Percent fee | A percent fee depends on the product price, taking a percentage of this value. |
| Global fee | This option indicate if the rule should be used for the global order or per product. It changes the way than the filters are applied during the processing. |
| Group (filter) | The fee rule can be associate to a specific vendor group. This option is not display when you configure the fee for one single vendor. |
