I want to create multiple online shops for selling merchandise products for companies. The products are basically identical but should be personalized in dependence of the company I am building the shop for. Because I do not want to build a new shop every time a new company joins the program I am looking for something like that:
www.myshop.com : One shop with the underlying product database and checkout system - not showing any products, just as a parent structure
www.company1.myshop.com : A slightly personalized shop where only a selection of the product catalogue is available
www.company2.myshop.com : A slightly personalized shop where a different selection of the product catalogue is available
Do you get it?
Does anybody know a tool for that?
Thanks in advance!
I already looked into WooCommerce, Shopify and even WiX. As far as I understood what I am looking for is not supported.
Since your example is based off of subdomains, you can choose to assign a Shopify store to each subdomain. Each store feeds from your inventory and accounting, giving your customers the illusion of a custom experience. Or you can just simplify your life, have one store, and assign your customers to view collections specific to them. That is the smart move. You may not like that, but it would work a peach for you. You just tag customers to see their specific collections, of products specific to those collections. Simple.
I can also think of a dozen other ways to pull this off with Shopify, but that is me, not you. For an opinion question like this, SO is not the right place to ask these kinds of questions, but I answered anyway. Your mileage may vary of course.

there's this great plugin that you can put selling points to all products on the store but the problem is that you can't specify categories or products to show it it just shows the same ones everywhere. I tried finding an alternative - even a paid version and i can't. Does anyone know of alternatives or can you tell me how to modify it to specify categories at least?

It's not working as I would like to, and as i have seen online many people have the same issue, you can't specify products or categories that you can post the information on
My client has two customer types (enterprises and individuals), he wants to propose different prices regarding the customer type. This customer type should be defined when the customer creates its account. I still haven't found a solution to do this automatically : after account creation depending on whether the customer said he is an enterprise or an individual, I want that the right price is automatically selected. Do you have any idea of how to do this without a manual user role given ?
Before registration, is it possible de display both prices so that the enterprise also knows what it will have to pay if it registered ?
That would be awesome if you have any idea of plugins doing this or how to code this.
Thanks a lot
Have a good day !
I believe you are looking for a what will be called a Wholesale User Plugin. There's a handful of them out there that you could look into. It will allow you to set up multiple user roles with different pricing structures.
I am wanting to know how to pull the woocommerce data from the backend to be displayed in a widget on the front-end. More specifically I am wanting to pull the data about total number of customers & the total amount of sales. This is to be used for a crowdfunding campaign page that I have built.
The total number of customers will be changed to backers & will update automatically when a sale has been processed.
The total number of customers will display the number of backers & will also update automatically when a sale has been processed.
The idea is that all you need to build a crowdfunding single campaign site is just woocommerce & a couple of free plugins, without the need for expensive plugins that you don't need in reality.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
You might already know, but there are themes specially built for crowdfunding. I dont know any free plugins that can do that. The only way to get this data is to either grab them from database which will require some pretty advance mysql joins, or a better way would be to inspect the code that woocommerce uses to display the reports. Here is a great post on how to do just that http://imdev.in/woocommerce-how-to-get-total-sales-of-all-products-number/
You can use the code and create a plugin, which can then help other developers as well.
I want to develop a website where teachers create exams and students pay money in order to pass these exams, so it's an e-commerce website where products are quiz.
The exams will be managed with a quiz plugin : i'll use Watu.
I still have no idea what e-commerce plugin I'll use.
What I want is to make exams as products so students can add them to cart, but I dont't see how can I do it : the e-commerce plugin manages its own products !!! Is there an easy way to do it ?
This is my idea: alter the quiz module so when an exam is created the script insert a row in the e-commerce table(s), so when I go to the e-commerce plugin I'll find a new product! But I think this is not a clean way !!
You might consider setting up woo-commerce setting a link as a software product that will be delivered on checkout.
You could build a quiz answer table in sql, deliver a generic quiz (via a link sold in the store)
the quiz table could have a field for quiz_id and you could have their answers recorded as a text field.
so the link would be delivered digitally thru the store, your answers 1-100 a-d might look like this:
userid: xxxxx
autodate
test: 1
Answer:abadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeababadddaeab
so one entry would contain all the answers on the test in question in one field.
once committed you could return a result based on a difference function from a pattern mask.
how many wrong answers in the simple query.
You then can store the answers and draw data based on what particular answers they got wrong.
they can also retake the same test at a later date and you can see each time how they did.
advantages of using a single text field means that you can use a single compare to pull the data and it's short to store.
with a membership plugin. Give roles afther payments. Diferent roles for diferent levels of exam. It´s easy than make conexion with database.
I'm creating a site to manage a sports league. At the beginning of each season, there's a draft during which captains choose their teams. Currently, I'm considering using Organic Groups and/or a user reference field on the Team type. (Which one? Both?)
I'd like to provide a clean interface for managing the draft where an admin would have a bucket of users and could drag them into buckets for each team. Or between tables or via a dropdown interface or whatever. I'm less concerned about the interface at the moment than I am that:
the admin can see and edit all the users
grouped by team
with an ungrouped group
easily move them between the groups
I imagine I might be able to use views bulk operations to whip something up, but before I do, is there anything like this out there?
It sounds like a good scenario for organic groups, as you suspected. You can make a private group per team, and only allow administrators or 'team captains' to add people to a given team. A views query can allow you to show a page of players who don't belong to any group. We do something similar for project teams.
Yup, perfect scenario for Organic Groups! That's exactly what that module was meant to do.
