charlieworks Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 I have a big problem here, and i dont know if it can be fixed. I currently will be have 4 to 5 dropshippers items on my site. If customers have a combined order of 5 items, 1 from each dropshipper, and i say that i combine shipping what do i do? And also, what is they buy 3 from one dropshipping and 1 from another and 1 from another. I will combine shipping on the 3 items, but them charge them full shipping prices on the other prices? How will i work this out?
wizardsandwars Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 That's something you'd have ot figure out for yourself. You have to figure out what your business needs are, how much to charge for shipping, etc, and then you mold OSCommerce to fit your needs. Having 5 different dropshippers in one store where customers can have 1 item delivered from each dropshipped probably isn't the best business model, and the shipping you will incur when this happens will be more than you're customers will want to pay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
charlieworks Posted March 2, 2004 Author Posted March 2, 2004 Thank you for your reply, but you did mention something about molding oscommerce to my needs. Its there a special contribution that i could use for this?
wizardsandwars Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 No, first you define your business rules, then you determine what you need to change in your cart, and *then* you go through the 100's of contributions here to see if any of them give you the functionality you need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

moonlitsun Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Here is the contribution under DEVELOPMENT you'll probably want to work with: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56535&st=0 Special Note: Our company and another osComm dev community member are still working on this code modification to Enhanced Vendors to accomodate multiple zip code origins. For our company, we are a dropship distributor, and our resellers desperately need osCommerce to have multiple zip code origins for their various vendors. We try to do what we can to advise them on helpful code. This is what we're trying to work on for them! Thx, -Codi Carpe Carp: Seize the Fish.
