Thanks @joshguss Skyverge look good too, although seems to be only ‘pick up’ but maybe could be adapted. I’ll message them also.
Have you looked at Tyche? They are interesting as they have already integrated the booking module with Dokan. Their “Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce” looks really comprehensive…however, also too overwhelming for a Vendor. Would need to be stripped back or give marteplace Admin power to activate/deactivate features. You manually input all the slots which I think is one of the reasons it seems ‘busy’ (compared to eg Iconic plugin where you just set the length of the slots, start & end time).
They have a proper demo though which is really useful; https://www.tychesoftwares.com/store/premium-plugins/order-delivery-date-for-woocommerce-pro-21/).
@joshguss @phirefly I have also been messaging shipping time and date slot plugins about Dokan integrations. Here are the links/info..
Delivery Date & Time for WooCommerce By CodeRockz
– say they have something in the works (but have given no detail or timesale) https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integration-with-dokan-multivendor-marketplace-2/Order date, Order pickup, Order date time, Pickup Location, delivery date for WooCommerce By PI Websolution
– say their plugin has been used with Dokan, but have given no more information https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integration-with-dokan-multivendor-marketplace/WooCommerce Delivery Slots by Iconic
– I really like the look of the UI/UX on this one. I could not see @phirefly topic so I created one of my own feature requests but I think maybe they are not approved? https://iconicwp.com/feature-requests/?search=dokanIf people are interested, message the developers or post in their forum links above / feature requests because if there is enough demand maybe they will adapt their plugin or prioritise existing plans.
I use Dokan ‘Zone Based Shipping’ and am looking for solution that accomodates as much of this wish list as possible;
- – multivendor checkout (customer can checkout multiple vendors at same time)
- – ideally ties into existing Woocommerce methods because these work with Dokan.
- – can differentiate between methods eg ‘pick up’ and ‘shipping/delivery’ and allow different slot settings for each (eg. 30min slots for pick up, 3 hours slots for delivery)
Vendor can…
- – set slots (eg 15mins, 30mins, 3hrs etc)
- – set maximum orders per slot/day.
- – set break times (when slots not available)
- – set lead time (eg must have 30mins after order before slot can be selected)
- – set holidays
- – set days of operation
- – set hours of operation (between which time-slots are calculated)
- – restrict how far in advance a slot can be booked
- – can turn off for methods eg maybe time slots only wanted for ‘pick up’, not delivery / shipping.
Plugin
- – has logic to determin next available slot (eg if closed on Sunday & person orders on Saturday)
- – inputs information to Woocommerce emails and invoices
- – provides a management list for the Vendor (eg an list of orders in logical time-order)
- – allow multiple pick up locations would be a bonus but are low on my list.
- – allow customer to change time slot within vendor-set parameters (low on list but would be good for future).
- – send customer reminder emails would be a bonus.
Excellent UI/UX – it must be easy for Vendor to configure and clear for customer to use.
🙂
Do you have any integration information or code snippets? There are some people actively searching for a Dokan solution (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-there-any-pick-up-delivery-slots-plugins-that-integrate-with-dokan/) and so far no plugin has been found/recommended.
That’s good news! Do you have ballpark timescale? People are asking for this in the Dokan formu https://wordpress.org/support/topic/are-there-any-pick-up-delivery-slots-plugins-that-integrate-with-dokan/ and so far, there is no solution – I can add your information.
Also, do you plan to make it work when multivendor purchase is activated (ie so customer can buy from more than one vendor at same time)?
I am looking also for a shipping plugin that can do this for pick up. Iconic looks the best to me however I do not see the vote so I submitted my own request. I will also report back here if I find anything.
