Good day
Is there an existing add-on that basically limits the total number of orders per day per vendor? For example if a baker has multiple products but wants the total number of orders to be 10 per day.
Thank you
There are a few booking add-ons on the marketplace that could be used for this purpose, e.g. set up the product to have X number of bookings, which in your case is the number of X (e.g. chocolate cakes) available on any given day.
I presume you have considered mannualy updating the stock-level day to day using the existing functionality, I mention it just for completeness.
thanks so much!
Yes we did consider this, but we want the limit to be set at a vendor level not at a product level. Are you aware of such addons?
No, I am not aware of anything.
Per my previous message a booking add-on would work for your scenario, @supportecarter.co has one I have used, though I am on version 1 and that has some problems, the support was ok, price started off ok but now a little high I thought and I shelved it, so I guess that is a hesitant recommendation.
You could send a request to @ecomlabs to quote you for a custom one to be developed. I hear great things about them.
If asking for a custom job you need to think how do you want it to work, e.g. will the products/vendor be displayed at all once reaches max_orders? Do you want to be able to set the number of orders per plan or hard_code it?
I did a rough outline of a add-on and then asked chatgPT to flesh it out. It is supposed to add a field to vendor plans called max_orders. Before the product is added to the cart the add_on checks how many orders the vendor has had for the day if it is >= max orders it displays a message saying the vendor is sold out and doesn’t add the product to the cart.
I have no idea how good the code is, but if you have any ability you could run with it (see the cs_cart add-on documentation) .
[EDIT: Code deleted … it had a number of things wrong with it]
