we are in the process of building a multivendor system locally in my country. we are comparing different solutions such as magento cscart yokart etc
and am reviewing this now to go premium if all requirements are met, so i want to see if i can do certain things.
1) can i add the seller on the product before i click on it? I know that by default, The product with lowest price is shown but this is not convenient for us. We want all the products to be displayed with the seller tad as per image example where the seller is Shark. our goal is to show all products with the seller tag before clicking on it
so the user will be aware about which sellers have the product they are looking for such as the picture i have sent
can we do that with this system or not? using add-ons or something.
2) We want the global system currency to be Euros e.g. i can see from the commission page it shows % or USD. As this is locally we don't care about other currencies.
i think is under Shop Settings in Global Configuration-> Shop Currency
3) We will sign up sellers and we will provide them the option to either use their own shipping or our shipping. Not sure how we can set this through sellacious?
4) How the commission is being managed ? Optimally we want to charge per category e.g. electronics will have 10% clothes 7% etc. Can we do that or is not possible?
5) The % of our margins are automatically send to our PayPal account or how this works? Is there a fee from PayPal we need to take into consideration?
6) I saw that most systems use PayPal Adaptive Payments is this the same as your standard one?
7) Where i can set up seller PayPal details ?
8) Can a user cancel the order? How the seller/admin is notified or can view the requests?
9) How refunds are implemented into the system?
10) How is the tax being calculated by admin or the seller needs to include this on the price when they upload their products?
11) Can we choose any of the templates once we go premium e.g. jcart?
12) Can a seller add their own policies e.g return, shipping, cancelation policies? How is this managed from the system?
13) How can i use the addons you advertise on your page e.g.
30 Addons
Through Sellacious addons you can easily create a custom Product & Category page
Category Title
Category Image

Apologise for all of the questions and am not expecting a quick response so please take your time.
We have provided an option to turn off guest checkouts within Sellacious. About the payment plugin we can offer you PayPal Pro plugin which integrates a smooth payment flow with PayPal using Rest API. I suggest you give it a try.
We understand that the adaptive payments is the most suitable thing for you and we are currently working on it. It should be available in around 2-3 weeks time.
This is a great offer to be consider but as tested and used optimally we don't want anyone who is not registered as a customer to be able to buy something.
With paypal express anyone can place an order which is not suitable for us.
We are testing the adaptive payments solution which is the best for a marketplace as its automatically send the commission to us and the rest amount to the actual seller. This leaves us will a lot less trouble to deal with this.
That's nice regarding the shipping rules. Is this going to be included any time soon?
Now there some issues with Paypal:
1) As this is a multi-vendor shop do we have to manually transfer funds from our paypal to every vendor or is there an automated process for this?
Seller will place withdrawal and then we will approve and then we need to login to paypal and send the money manually ?
2) When the % fee and flat fee is set to 0 under the paypal plugin the transaction is as follows:
If the user don't press the Return to Merchant the order neve goes through the system or Paypal. Not sure if this is correct. A user may close the browser or the tap and the order will not be completed.
Because in your case user has only permission to create rules but unless he/she doesn't have the edit permission, won't be able to create/edit new rules.
And you've mentioned in the previous post
When a seller tries to create a new rule(his own rule) still got the error
But as of now, there is no option to create Own rule for a seller.
When we will add this feature, you'll see in permission says:
Create Own Shipping Rules
Delete Own Shipping Rule
Edit Own Shipping Rule
You can set the permission for every user group from your super user account.
For that login from your super user account Goto -> Settings -> Permission -> Select Seller from dropdown, Changes any permission you want.
I just re-installed 1.5.1 from scratch and i have
View Shipping Rules = Allowed
Create Shipping Rules Allowed
Delete Shipping Rule Inherited
Edit Shipping Rule Inherited
Activate/Deactivate Shipping Rule Inherited
When a seller tries to create a new rule(his own rule) still got the error
Warning Access to the selected resource was denied. You might not have the required privilege in the current context.
Is your site online? Where can i check...
If it is online please send me credentials over direct message. and if not then can i check that over teamviewer
If your sellacious version is 1.4x then you to update twice it. When you check for an update it will first update to 1.5.0 and then recheck for update it will show you the latest one 1.5.1. And all the bugs you've pointed has been fixed in it.
Please check for the update now, your find update notifications.
Thank you for your response.
The pricing is now working fine as the permissions did the trick.
other issue the shipping rules. It should have the option to Edit own Shipping rules like other permissions as you provide the option to choose who will be responsible to ship items. Seller can see all shipping rules based on the current Sellacious setup and when the setup is as per image below
seller cannot create a shipping rule as he gets ' Warning Access to the selected resource was denied. You might not have the required privilege in the current context.' This is also happening on your demo.
1. The price options and almost everything is controlled via permission settings. You can manage the permissions from Settings > Permissions in the sellacious backend. Set the permission – "Edit Own Price" for "Sellers" to "Allow", this should fix the issue.
2. Thank you for reporting this to us. This is an issue with the Helix Framework since Joomla 3.8. We are talking with the team and we will provide you the patch in two days time.
Please, do let us know if you still find any issues.
