Configuration – Multi-Lingual Support

For multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store->Configuration->General ->Locale Options.

Select the locale as German (the language into which the admin want to translate his store content).

Magento 2 – Language Translation

If a user wants to translate their module into German, they should go to app/code/Webkul/MpFixedRateshipping/i18n in their Magento Marketplace folder.

They’ll find a file named en_US.csv there.

Now they will rename that CSV as “de_DE.csv” and translate all right side content after the comma in the German language.

After editing the CSV, save it and then upload it to the path app/code/Webkul/MpFixedRateshipping/i18n where they have installed Magento 2 on their server.

The module will get translated into German Language. It supports both the LTR and RTL languages. 

After the successful installation of the Magento 2 Marketplace Fixed Rate Shipping module, navigate to the Adobe Commerce Admin Panel.

Then, go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Shipping Methods → Webkul Marketplace Fixed Rate Shipping to configure the shipping settings.

• Enable for checkout: – Choose ‘Yes’ if you want this shipping method at checkout. Choose ‘No’ if you do not want to provide this shipping method to your customer at checkout. 
• Title: Enter a title for this shipping method.
• Method title: In this write down the title you want to be shown for this shipping method during checkout. 
• Default Shipping Price: This is the default price for fixed-rate shipping. This price set by the admin will be applied when no shipping price configuration has been done by the seller. This shipping price will apply to all the products. 
• The Default Free Shipping From Amount specifies the minimum order value required for free shipping. If the seller hasn’t configured a free shipping threshold, this value applies universally to all products.
• Ship to Applicable Countries: Choose ‘All allowed Countries’, if you want this shipping to be applicable to all countries. Else, choose ‘Specific’ if you want to apply this fixed rate shipping to certain selected countries. 
• Ship to Specific Countries: if you have selected ‘Specific’ in the above column then Choose the specific selected Countries from this column.  

 This screenshot will help you to make the contrast between the Method title and the Title. This is the scenario during checkout. 

Shipping Based On

Let me explain this with an example: If the vendor has configured a fixed rate shipping price = $9. (This section of vendor configuration will be explained in the later part of this blog.)

So, if there are 3 products in the cart from the same vendor: If you have chosen ‘Shipping based on‘  to ‘Vendor‘.

Then, the fixed-rate shipping price displayed to the customer during checkout will be only $9. But, If you have chosen ‘Shipping based on‘  to ‘Product‘.

Then, the fixed-rate shipping price displayed to the customer during checkout will be only $27. Display Error Message: 

Type the message here that you want to be displayed in the case when this shipping method is not available. 

Show method if not applicable: Choose ‘Yes’ if you want this method to be displayed at the time of checkout even if it is not applicable for that order.

If you don’t want to display it if it is not applicable then choose ‘No’.

If the Marketplace Fixed Rate Shipping module is enabled then the seller can set the Shipping Rate Per Product under: My Account > Fixed Rate Shipping. 

The seller will get this ‘Fixed Rate Shipping‘ option on the left hand of the seller account. Now Seller can make the desired configuration through this.

If the seller configures this section, the admin-defined default shipping cost and free shipping thresholds will not apply.

• Shipping Cost: Here, Sellers will input the value which will act as a Fixed Rate Shipping price for their respective Products. 
• Allow Free Shipping From Amount: Shipping of the order will be free If the order amount is equal to or greater than the value entered here. 

 When the Buyer will place an order for the seller’s product, the buyer can see Marketplace Fixed Rate Shipping under shipping methods like this screenshot.  During the order preview, buyers will see the shipping method in this manner. 

When the order is placed, the seller can see the order under My Order History. 

From here the Seller can view the order.  To download the Invoices of multiple orders at a time, click on the Download All Invoice Slip tab.

Choose the duration for which you want to download the invoice by setting the Date From and Date Until with the help of an Interactive time counter.

To download the Shipping slip of multiple orders at a time, click on the Download All Shipping Slip tab. 

The Seller can see the quantity sold of the product under the My Product List. The seller will see 3 columns:

1. Quantity Confirmed: This number indicates how many orders the system is processing.
2. Quantity Pending: This number will show the number of orders which are in pending status.
3. The Quantity Sold: This number indicates how many orders the system has shipped and completed. Click on it to view the status of these orders.

 If the admin sets the “Allow Seller to Manage Order” option “yes” then the seller can manage the orders from the front end.

Now the seller can generate invoices for their ordered products, and generate a 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.  Once the seller generates the shipment and invoice, the seller will able to see complete order details.

Moreover, the Seller can create a credit memo(Refund) and send information to the customer through the mail.  Shipment Information:

 Here seller will see 3 tabs.

1. Print Shipment: By clicking this you can download and print the Shipment of the order.
2. Send Tracking Information: By this Seller can send each and every piece of information about the shipment tracking to their Customer.

Print PDF of an Invoice:

The seller can download the Shipping and Invoice slip very easily.

The seller inputs their company logo, address, VAT, and tax information under Manage Print PDF Header Info. This data then appears on the invoice PDF and packing slip.
