Configuring Order Type Settings in WooODT Extended for Dokan Multivendor


Introduction

The WooODT Extended for Dokan Multivendor plugin enhances vendor capabilities by allowing them to configure their store for Delivery Only, Pickup Only, or Both Delivery & Pickup options. This feature ensures that customers can choose an appropriate order type based on individual vendor settings.

However, it is important to note that the plugin relies on vendor settings when determining the available order type options at checkout. This guide explains how this functionality works and how vendors should properly configure their products to ensure accurate order type options.


How WooODT Extended Works with Dokan

  1. Vendor-Specific Order Type Settings
    • Each vendor can configure their store as:
      • Delivery Only: Customers can only choose delivery.
      • Pickup Only: Customers can only choose pickup.
      • Both Delivery & Pickup: Customers can select either option.
  2. Checkout Page Behavior
    • When a customer adds products to the cart, the plugin checks which vendor’s product is included.
    • Based on the respective vendor’s settings, the order type options are displayed at checkout:
      • Since the plugin only allows checkout with products from a single vendor, the settings of that vendor determine the order type options.
  3. Admin-Assigned Products & Order Type Settings
    • If an admin adds a product and assigns it to multiple vendors, the order type options are determined by the admin’s settings, not the individual vendor’s settings.
    • This means that for the correct order type options to populate, products must be added by the respective vendors themselves, rather than being assigned by the admin.

Best Practices for Vendors

To ensure that order type options function correctly:

  • Always add products under your own vendor account rather than relying on the admin to assign products to your store.
  • Check and configure your order type settings within the WooODT Extended settings to ensure customers see the correct options at checkout.
  • Test the checkout process after configuring your settings to verify that the correct delivery or pickup options appear.

Conclusion

The WooODT Extended for Dokan Multivendor plugin provides a seamless way for vendors to manage their order type preferences. However, proper product management and vendor-specific settings are essential to ensure accurate order type options display at checkout. Vendors should take care to add their own products and configure their settings correctly to avoid discrepancies.
