Hi Bart,
We’ve just released new plugin version (v1.2.3 for free and v1.2.7 for Pro), where WPML issues should be fixed. Could you please take a look and let me know if something is still not working as expected.
Hi,
In case if anyone else has same question – as we figured out in private conversation:
Send to admin checkbox in Send additional emails option – sent emails are standard WooCommerce “New order” emails, so you can add/change recipients in “WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > New order > Recipient(s)”.
This is not directly related to the question, but: Send to customer checkbox in Send additional emails option – again sent emails are standard WooCommerce “Processing order” emails, and although recipient is always customer and can’t be changed, you can change other email settings (subject, heading etc.) in “WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > Processing order”.
Hope that helps.
Hi Remi,
We’ve just released new plugin version 1.3.0. I didn’t add option to enter price with VAT, however I did add
alg_wc_custom_shipping_methods_evaluate_cost_sum_evaluatedfilter that is applied just before the shipping cost is returned. So now you can modify the cost by adding something like this to your (child) theme’sfunctions.phpfile:add_filter( 'alg_wc_custom_shipping_methods_evaluate_cost_sum_evaluated', 'custom_modify_shipping_cost', 10, 1 ); if ( ! function_exists( 'custom_modify_shipping_cost' ) ) { function custom_modify_shipping_cost( $sum ) { if ( WC()->cart->get_customer() && ! WC()->cart->get_customer()->get_is_vat_exempt() ) { $sum = $sum * 1.21; } return $sum; } }If you could give more info on when you need to add/remove VAT from cost – I could try to provide you with the exact code to add.
Also if you wish, you can share an admin account to your site (WP and FTP) so I could login and help you with solving the task – my private email is [email protected]
Hope that helps.
Hi Konstantin,
We’ve just released new plugin version 1.3.0. As suggested I’ve added calculation by distance, e.g.:
1.5*[distance key="BIzbSyBNBNR9yi3vTgC33oXSpwQftScNSmO-fjc" default="15" debug="yes" units="km"]
and/or
[costs_table prop="distance" table="1-10|50-50|100-125.5" key="BIzbSyBNBNR9yi3vTgC33oXSpwQftScNSmO-fjc" default="125.5" units="km"]
Unfortunately both shortcodes went to Pro version only, hope you understand.
You can read more about these shortcodes in the “Description” tab.
Please let me know if something is not working as expected or if you have any questions. Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Hi,
Sorry for a late reply. Yes, premium version has no restrictions on number of “open pricing” products – you can add as many as you need.
Hope that helps.
Hi Konstantin,
The idea is really interesting and I would gladly implement it in plugin, however there is one major problem – plugin would need to know the distance between your shop and the customer. For plugin to calculate the distance, it would need to know the coordinates (i.e. latitude and longitude) of both your shop and the customer. In standard WooCommerce setup, customer enters ZIP code, so we could try go get latitude and longitude from ZIP code, but this would definitely require some external API, which would connect ZIP codes with coordinates. If you have any thoughts on how to solve this – please let me know.
Simple solution would be acceptable if your shop deliver to small (or at least finite) number of ZIP codes – in this case we could manually pre-fill the table of ZIP codes -> distances. Hope you get the idea…
Hi Remi,
Ok – please give me a couple of days to check if I can add an option to set custom shipping cost including VAT. Will get back to you about this asap.
Regarding my previous note about “Tax status” – you are correct, this sets if VAT should be added to shipping cost in final calculation. Just thought maybe this may help you… Anyway, in case anyone else has question regarding “Tax status”: for example you set shipping cost to $10 and your VAT is 20%, then if you set tax status to “Taxable” you will get $12 as final shipping price and if you set tax status to “None” – final shipping price will be $10.
Hi Kate,
I’ve just re-checked, but unfortunately couldn’t reproduce the issue – meta box seems to be showing on product edit page as it should. One note though – unlike “Product Visibility by User Role” – by default meta box is displayed below the “Description” meta box (not in sidebar like user role visibility).
If that doesn’t help – maybe I could login to your server admin and check what’s going on? If that’s fine – my email is [email protected].
In case if anyone else has similar issue – as we’ve figured out in private conversation – the problem was that inside a product description there were “less than” signs (e.g.:
<20dBm...), which are incorrectly parsed as XML tags. Wrapping the shortcode inCDATAseems to solve the problem, i.e.:<description><![CDATA[ [alg_product_description] ]]></description>
Hi Remi,
You are correct – custom shipping cost should be set without VAT. If you check the description tip near the “Cost” option, it says “Enter a cost (excl. tax) or sum…”. We did that because same cost settings rules are used in standard WooCommerce “Flat rate” shipping settings (i.e. also excl. tax).
I could probably add an option to set cost with VAT, however I’m not really sure I understand the task correctly. I mean – you could just precalculate shipping cost manually just once and enter it without VAT (e.g. if shipping cost is $100 with VAT and VAT is 20%, then you would enter 100 / 1.20 = $83.33 as custom shipping method cost) – wouldn’t that solve the issue? What am I missing?
Also, as you’ve probably noticed, there is “Tax status” option in custom shipping method’s settings, so you can set if final shipping price for the customer should include or exclude VAT.
Hi Valdemir,
Maybe you could give me the link to your generated XML file, or send it to me directly to [email protected]?
Hi Roman,
Yes, it can raise the price too. For example if you set “Sale Rate Goal” to 10 and there are 20 sales for the product in the “Timeframe”, then the price will be increased by “Price Change Step (%)” value.
To make this clearer I would suggest installing the free version of the plugin and disabling “Automatic Pricing” option in “WooCommerce > Settings > Price Robot”, so the plugin would work in “advisor” mode, i.e. price won’t be really changed, but you will be able to see the suggested price. You can also try enabling “Debug Column in WooCommerce Admin Products View” checkbox there to get more info.
And finally – if you have any ideas on how pricing algorithm should work – please let me know and I will gladly add it to the plugin.
Hi,
In case anyone else has similar question – in plugin version 1.4.0 we’ve added “Admin title” option to “WooCommerce > Settings > Product XML Feeds > XML Feed #X”.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
We’ve just released new plugin version 1.4.0:
1. Regarding time limit – please try settings new “PHP time limit” option in “WooCommerce > Settings > Product XML Feeds > General > Advanced Options” to some larger number, e.g.
600seconds.2. Regarding excluding “Sold Out” products – please go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Product XML Feeds > XML Feed #X” and there at the bottom of the page there is new “Stock status” option. You should set it to “In stock”.
Hope that helps. Please let me know if something is not working as expected.
P.S. If you like the plugin, please leave us a rating.
