THE FEATURES OF THE ORDER ADDON (EXPLAINED):
Easy Invoice Creation:
One of the major problem for Vendors selling on marketplace has been the creation of invoice. Product Addon for magento multi vendor tackles this problem, and, that too, very effectively. It enables vendors to create invoice for the orders placed for their products. The vendors can review the orders placed on their stores verify and generate invoice to begin the fulfillment process.
Credit Memo Functionality:
As refund remains the integral part of an excellent customer services, empowering vendors to perform the same is utmost priority for the admin operating the marketplace. With this addon, vendors can initiate the REFUND requests and add comments – reasons for the refund or other necessary information. Thereafter, initiate the request to which admin has to respond. Once Admin accepts the request, the amount against the order, can be debited.
Create Shipment:
As without shipment there is no completion of business cycle, vendors can assign tracking numbers and manage the delivery of the order being placed. However to use this functionality Multi Shipping Addon is a must. With Multi Shipping Addon vendors can choose the shipment company of their choice and initiate the fulfillment process.
E-Mail Notification:
To ensure seamless delivery uninterrupted communication channel is secondary to none. It provides all the necessary information about the orders being placed and cancelled to vendors. These e-mails are sent to vendors from admin to vendors so as to keep them in loop about the status of orders against their products.
Vendor Friendly Transactions:
Consider for example a customer places an order which consists some products from vendor A and others from Vendor B. In the Basic marketplace both the Vendors don’t get the money from the Admin until WHOLE order is completed. But for this addon, if vendor A has acknowledged his quota of order then admin can transfer the money into his account. Similarly for the refund process, in the basic marketplace the entire order has to be returned for the refund whereas in the product addon only a part of the order can be returned and admin can take back the money from the vendor ONLY for the part of order returned.
