Important Note: The Vendor Name must be unique and determines the name used throughout the L’viv Realty store. If the name is taken, an error will be returned after submitting the form. Your vendor name will be displayed in the header of your products page (along side with your logo) & in your product page address (LvivRealty.com/vendor/VendorName/). Once a vendor has submitted the form, L’viv Realt staff gets an email notification that a vendor has applied and a user account is created for the vendor. A status/role of Pending Vendor is assigned until staff approves registration and applies a different role. There are two possible roles:Vendors can configure settings in the dashboard as they wish, by going to the Store Settings.
Vendors Settings fields, from the Vendor Admin dashboard:
The Store Owner can also edit Vendors settings by going to Products > Vendors.
Vendors Settings fields, which the Store Owner can edit:
Adding products in Lviv Realty Vendors is similar to adding products in WooCommerce, and all users who have manage access to the vendor can add/edit products. More info at: Adding and Managing Products.
In Product Vendors, the only difference is vendors must have their products approved by the Store Owner. The process is:
In your dashboard you can find your store live report & statistics.
Commissions at a product, vendor or site-wide level are set by the Store Owner.
If he/she has enabled Instant Payment or Scheduled Payments (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly), Vendors need a PayPal account to receive payment for commission.
Product Vendors adds a few user roles. Those roles relate to order, products and settings limited to the product vendor their account is associated with under Products > Vendors. For example, they will only be able to edit their own products.
A vendor can have one of two different roles:
A single user with one user account can be set up to manage multiple vendors if needed, switching between vendors to which they have access.
Vendor are responsible for fulfilling and shipping/sending orders after a customer has bought their product(s).
There are two possible shipping types:
Vendors need to set up their own shipping costs per product, if the Store Owner has enabled Per Product Shipping.
This is set in Product Data under Shipping > Shipping Rules. More information at: Defining Shipping Costs for Products.
The Store Owner sets up and places vendors in the correct tax class with relevant rates, according to location.
Several emails are set up in Product Vendors for Vendors and the Store Owner.
To accept bookings, you need to create a bookable product.
Fields will change to reflect bookable products.
This determines how long a booking lasts. The duration can be admin defined (fixed block) or customer defined (they need to input on the front-end). Duration units can be Hours, Minutes, Days or Months.
Fixed blocks have a set duration that you define. The customer can only choose one block which will last the defined amount of time. For example hair dresser appointment lasts one hour and you can only book one at a time.
Customer-defined blocks have a set duration, but the customer can choose how many blocks they want. For example, the co-working space is rented out in hourly intervals, and the customer can define how many 1-hour blocks they would like to rent.
If you set your Booking duration to be customer defined:
Select Calendar always visible or Display calendar on click. By default the calendar is set to always show.
If the Booking duration is set to be Customer defined with a unit of Days, then another option will be shown to enable the calendar range picker. Enabling this allows customers to select a start date and an end date for their booking within the calendar itself.
If the booking needs to be reviewed by an Admin before confirmation, tick the Requires confirmation? checkbox. Rather than take payment at checkout, the user inputs details and submits them for approval.
To learn more, see Manage Bookings.
If the Requires Confirmation checkbox is ticked, only the Check Availability option is shown when checking out. Once the booking is approved, the customer receives another email to then submit payment.
This setting allows multiple bookings at the same time. With a fixed booking of 1 day and maximum bookings per block set to 2, then each day you can accept two bookings.
If today is March 1 and you set minimum block bookable to 1 month into the future, then the first date a customer could book would be April 1. The same applies to the maximum date bookable.
Based on the unit of time set for the booking (minutes, hours or days), you can specify a period of time after a bookable slot that is unavailable for anyone else to book. For example, if you sell appointments in 1-hour blocks and wish to have a break of 1 hour between them, you can specify a buffer period.
If you prefer to add a buffer before and after your appointments, tick the Adjacent Buffering checkbox. This option adds the specified block both before and after each booking. Defining a buffer period of one hour between booking with adjacent buffering will result into 2 hours between bookings.
Buffer periods are always defined in the same time measurement (minutes, hours or days) chosen for blocks. If you want to have a 30-minute buffer between your 1-hour appointments, be sure to use 60-minute blocks instead of 1-hour blocks.
Depending on how you want to set up availability, this option allows you to set available by default or not available by default. Available by default means all blocks are available and you can specifically turn some off with rules, where not available by default means all blocks are not available and must be turned on through availability rules.
You have two options:
Say you have a weekly rental, but you only allow customers to start their rental on Fridays.
You can set up specific availability rules, such as availability for:
To add a rule, select Add Range:
A new row is created, where you can choose a range type, from/to, whether it’s bookable or not (yes or no) and a priority number.
The from/to values differ based on the range type:
Note that the time ranges are not opening hours, but booking hours. If you offer 1-hour time blocks and your shop is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, your last booking is at 5:00 pm, not 6:00 pm.
By default, Global availability rules take priority over product level availability rules and product availability rules take priority over resource priority rules. The order can be changed using the priority numbers. A lower priority, irrespective of context, overrides any other context with higher priority number. For example, a 9 will always override 10, even if 10 is on the Global level.
Rows can be removed by clicking the X on the far right, or dragged and dropped to sort using the handle on the far left.
Also be aware that availability options can be set up globally if all bookable products share some dates. To read more about Global availability, see Booking Settings.
Costs for specific slots are controlled from the Costs tab.
The two main costs you can add are Base cost and Block cost.
Display cost does not affect the actual cost of the product. In the example above, the product page displays 300 on the frontend. The cost is displayed to the user on the frontend. Leave blank to have it calculated for you. If a booking has varying costs, the lowest available cost is shown and is prefixed with the word “From:”
Beneath the display cost, you have an area where you can define extra costs. This works similar to availability. Click Add Range to begin:
A row appears where you can input the range type, from/to and cost:
The from/to values differ based on the range type:
Base cost and Block cost can be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided by the amount you enter. With version 1.10.9 (pending release), you can also directly set the costs applied for the rule.
Rows can be removed by clicking the X on the far right, or dragged and dropped to sort using the handle on the far left.
If the booking can be made for multiple persons at once, tick the Has persons checkbox. Once selected, a new tab appears:
You can set a min and maximum for persons. Similar to duration, the customer can input a value on the frontend booking form, if enabled.
Persons also impacts the following cost options:
The Persons tab also allows you to define different prices depending on the person type. You might want to offer a different price for children or for teachers on a museum tour for example. To set up different person types, tick the Enable Persons Type checkbox in your Persons Tab:
Once you tick this checkbox, you have the option to add multiple types.
Give your Person type a name and define the cost for the type. Adding a description is optional.
You can define a minimum and a maximum number for each person type. For example, you could require at least one adult for each booking while making children optional (minimum 0). If you leave Max blank, there are no other restrictions than those of the bookable product itself.
Clicking the Unlink button will remove the person type from the product. The person type will still exist, but be hidden, this is so previously created bookings are not broken.
For added flexibility, WooCommerce Bookings supports Bookable Resources that can be booked independently within a bookable product. Tick the Has resources checkbox to enable a new tab:
There are two types of bookable resources:
An example use case for a customer selected resource would be a room type, such as single and twin rooms.
An example use case for an automatically assigned resource would be a hair salon where the resources are staff and someone is assigned a booking. More at: Hair Salon – Bookings Use Case.
After enabling resources, choose your type. If you have chosen Customer selected be sure to give your resource a label. This is what is shown on the frontend booking form.
Resources can be used globally across multiple products. For more information, see: Using Resources.
