    Installation Of Marketplace Module

    Installation of the marketplace module is super simple after downloading the marketplace module from this URL.

    http://store.webkul.com/Magento-Extensions/Magento-Marketplace.html

    After downloading the Marketplace zip file, you need to unzip it on your system. You will find two folders inside it namely- MagentoMarketplace and MagentoMarketplaceUltimoThemePatch. Inside the MagentoMarketplace  file folder you will find SRC folder, inside the src folder you will find app, media & skin folders. You have to upload these three folders- app, media & skin  into the Magento root folder on the server as shown below.

    Module Installation For Custom Theme

    After uploading the app, media & skin folders into the Magento root folder as shown above, if you are using a custom theme like Ultimo, for which we are already providing the Ultimo theme patch for Marketplace you need to navigate to MagentoMarketplaceUltimoThemePatch->src->app and upload the app folder into the Magento root folder as shown below.

    Module Installation For Custom Theme

    After moving both the folder flush the cache from Magento admin module. Under System > Cache management.

    Configuration For Multi-Lingual Support

    Inside folder  Magento Marketplace->src->app->locale-> we have two folders en_US and es_ES. If you want to change the language to Spanish, then just move your Webkul_Marketplace.csv which is inside the es_ES folder file inside the Magento root -> app/locale/[LANG CODE]. For an example, if you want to change the language in Spanish, then choose the locale Spanish and put the locale Spanish and put the Webkul_Marketplace.CSV file inside inside app/locale/ as shown below in the screenshot.

    Arabic Translation – Magento Marketplace Multi-Vendor Module

    Step 1:

    After Magento marketplace module installation, unzip the folder and click on the src folder, inside src folder you have an app folder. Click it to open the locale folder, inside the locale folder you shall have the language folder. e.g en_US. Inside this folder, you have Webkul_Marketplace.csv file, open and edit it according to the translation.

    The actual CSV file looks like below snapshot:
    Basic-CSV withoutTranslation

    Now you need to translate all the keywords on the right hand side inside the Webkul_Marketplace.csv file as per the below screen shot.

    Translation-CSV-Translate

    Step 2:

    Follow the same path inside the Magento root on the server and open the locale folder where you have installed Magento Marketplace. Now create a new language folder with the language code ar_SA, the language in which you want the translation.
    Rename-CSV

    Step3:

    Now, upload the translated Webkul_Marketplace.csv file from the step 1 to the language folder inside locale on the server. Now you are done translating your Magento Marketplace Multi-Vendor module.

    Basic-CSV withoutTranslation

    Multi-Seller Marketplace Configuration

    After the successful installation of the marketplace module, the admin can configure this module.

    Options

    The admin will be able to see Marketplace Configuration settings by navigating through System>Configuration.

    As per the above screenshot, you can see many admin configuration parameters for Marketplace. Let’s explain one by one.

    Percent per product sale

    Percent per product sale is the global commission which the admin needs to enter. This commission mechanism will be applicable for all the sellers. Let’s say as an example there is a seller S1 and his/her product(P1) price is 100 USD so on the sale of product P1 seller will get 80 USD and admin will get 20 USD as commission.

    Attribute Set ID

    Attribute Set ID is the default ID for your global catalog. Admin can select multiple attributes set from the Multi-Select list.

    Allow Seller to Manage Orders

    By enabling “YES”, the admin allows the sellers to manage the orders from front-end. Now the seller can generate invoices, tracking number and shipment for the orders of their products. Even the seller can notify the customers by sending them emails, cancel/refund the order and even print the order.

    And by enabling “NO”, the sellers can’t manage the orders for their products. Now the admin will generate invoices, tracking number and shipment for all the orders.

    Move Product Tax to Seller Account

    If Move Product Tax To Seller Account is set as NO then the product Tax amount will forward into Admin account else, it will go into Seller account.

    Product Approval Required

    If the admin has set “Product Approval Required” as “Yes”. Then, Whenever the seller adds products, he would require admin’s approval to make the product visible on the web store. But if this option set as “No” then the sellers won’t require admin’s approval for their products.

    Set Captcha Enabled

    The admin can Enable/Disable the captcha from the backend. Captcha is used at the time of contacting a seller as shown below in the screenshot. After clicking on “Contact Us” option, this pop up comes up where the buyer needs to fill in the required information and the captcha to send the message to the seller as shown below.

    Product Update Approval Required

    By this option, admin can restrict Product update by the seller. If the admin has set “Product Update Approval Required” as “Yes”. Then, whenever the seller tries to update any parameter of the product, he would require admin’s approval to make those updations visible on the web store. Else if set as “No”, then no need of admin’s approval.
