Can Vendors have their own Sagepay or VCS account

Hi Can i setup each vendor with their own payment gateway so the funds goes directly to their own Merchant account?
Then those vendors that don't have merchant accounts can i use our main SAGE Pay account to process their sales minus a commission to cover our costs?

Please let me know how if its possible to setup this process.

Regards Jacques

-- url of the page with the problem -- : mylowveld.com/
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5

Just to refine my post here is an example of what the flow should be like:
Shopper comes onto the site - Picks 3 products belonging to 3 different vendors -> checks out -> pays 2 of the vendors directly into their pre-setup payment gateway and pays the 3rd one with our sage pay account due to the vendor not having a merchant facility. The payments for vendor 1 & 2 goes directly to their respective banks/merchant accounts payment 3 goes into our account, we receive the funds and do an electronic funds transfer for the funds minus the commission we take to cover our costs ect...

Vendor 1 & 2 simply does business as normal and delivers the products to the clients upon notification from the Hika shop that payment was done.

Vendor 3 has to get a similar payment notification mail but we pay him manually once the funds reflect with us.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

You can create several Sagepay plugin configurations and you can assign the payment configuration for a specific vendor.
After that, with the options to "vendor limitation" and "Show only vendor payments" you will display only the vendor payment configuration during the checkout.
You can remove the option "Show only vendor payments" if you want to also display the payment methods of your "main vendor" (without vendor assignation).

PS: For your HikaMarket question, the best is to use the HikaMarket forum section, so I will be notified and have the message in the moderation system.

OK do you have a quick tutorial available for me so i can see how to do this?

Hi,

While editing a payment configuration in the HikaShop backend, you will see this:


You can select the vendor that you want to assign the payment method.
In the screenshot you can see a little warning message, telling that the vendor restriction won't work.
It is because there is no "vendor limitation" set in my configuration


So you have to put a vendor limitation (so only one vendor will be accepted in the cart).
You can also use the second option to only propose the payment method for the current vendor (in "current vendor" I mean the vendor of the products in the cart).
This option is useful only if all of your vendors have a payment method and you don't want to display the generic payment methods.

As you can see in the first screenshot, for each payment method you can select the "mode", if you are in "commission" or in "fee" mode.
It indicate who will receive the money (you or your vendor). And HikaMarket will understand and will process correctly the fees depending the options.

Ok so let me get his straight - you can load a vendor with its own payment method. Then if the payment method is SAGE Pay and we configure the shop so i take a commission on the payment because my vendor does not have his own SAGE pay account i will get the Full 100% of the transaction value and then need to pay the vendor via Electronic Funds transfer minus my % commission.

Then if the vendor has his own SAGE pay account and the funds go directly to the vendor i setup his SAGE Pay account and link it to the vendor then obviously i cant take commission on the transaction as the funds go directly to the vendor?

Please confirm if my logic's here are correct.

Hi,

1 - Your SagePay account yes you will receive the full amount in your account and you will have to pay back your vendor for his part. (it will result a "vendor payment").
2 - His SagePay account the vendor will receive the full amount in his account and he will have to pay back for your commission. (it will result a "vendor sale").

When using the "pay" feature in HikaMarket, it will sum the vendor orders, mixing the orders in "commission" and orders in "fee". Depending the final sum, it will create a "vendor payment" (you have to pay the vendor) or a "vendor sale" (the vendor has to pay you).
If it is a "vendor sale", it will create a more or less classical HikaShop order that the main vendor will see in his orders and will be able to pay. The products of the orders are the "vendor orders" that you selected so you and he will have the details of the "transaction".
