Try Orderable

Get the free version of Orderable and set up online ordering in minutes.

Allow individual vendors to sell their delivery and pickup goods via your website with both Orderable and the most popular multi-vendor plugins, Dokan and WCFM.

With this Orderable multi-vendor compatibility update, you can assign locations to specific vendors and allow them to set up open hours, pickup/delivery services, lead time, holidays, and more.

Curious? Here’s what Orderable multi-vendor compatibility can do.

Take a closer look at Orderable multi-vendor compatibility

Compatibility with Dokan and WCFM

Doken and WCFM both allow you to create detailed multi-vendor marketplaces in one WooCommerce store. With either one of these plugins you can launch a marketplace, and give each store their own dashboard so they can upload products, set their own shipping, view reports, and more.

The best part? You can set a commission for each sale, making setting up your own online marketplace a breeze.

But what if you want to allow vendors to get more specific with:

  • Pickup/delivery time and date slots.
  • Lead time.
  • Holiday dates.
  • Maximum orders.
  • Opening hours.
  • ASAP delivery.
  • and more?

By using Orderable and one of these multi-vendor plugins together, you’ll be able to do exactly that. Vendors will be able to use Orderable‘s Locations feature straight from their dashboard. Giving them the freedom to create their own location and customize each one of these settings.

Assign Orderable locations to specific vendors

As the site admin, you’ll have the option to assign specific locations to vendors. This means you can get the ball rolling by creating vendor Locations yourself and assigning them directly to vendors for them to customize.

To do this, you’ll use the Edit User screen in WordPress and assign a location there.

Control what vendors can do

To give you more control as the site admin, you’ll be able to decide what your vendors can do with the locations feature.

You can decide:

  • If you want vendors to create locations for themselves. If not, you still have the freedom to create and assign them yourself.

  • Whether you want to prevent individual vendors from creating their own locations. For example, you could allow all vendors to create their own locations, but for an individual vendor, prevent them from doing so.

  • If you want vendors to edit Location settings for ones assigned to them only (this is the default setting), all Locations in the marketplace, or not allow this at all.
