I’m trying to build a multi-vendor bilingual webiste, using different subscription level to limit number of product a vendor can have, whose product are reservations (Service X Monday 13 feb 11a.m.). Also, the website will be a One product / multi-vendor type, as the vendors will have to choose among a specific list of products.
I thought of building all it using Toolset, but I’m facing multiple challenges in regard of the “reservation” aspect of the products. I know WC product variations can’t be used by Toolset as independent product, so I can’t use this strategy. So I thought I could create a Taxonomy "Services", from wich all items would be define the authorized products, and vendors would create one different product for each availability, and link it to the correct Service taxonomy, allowing me to show all availabilities in a search page.
But because I would prefer the vendor not to have to go through ALL the product configuration (images / title / price / description) every time he adds a new availability, it started to be more and more complex to create a reusable price / description custom fields, specific to each vendor, and then to add them everytime the vendor adds new time slot, following the correct price / description fields for the correct "Service" taxonomy.
I know WC Booking is not compatible with Toolset either, so using this plugin, I could not have a Toolset search filter including a date field, nor add some of the availabilities in the search results loop.
Is there a way I can manually link let’s say Year, Month and Day custom fields / taxonomies to each available date in the WC Booking system? I know each date has a really specific value, that in Excel for say, we can extract the year / day / month from the value, or convert the value into it’s original date format.
Would there be a way for me to create a link (through a rule, or a CF / taxo, or an Excel spreadsheet) between WC Booking date configuration and Toolset? So this way, everytime the vendor selects a date, Toolset CF / Taxo are updated accordingly?
Thanks,
Catherine 🙂
N.B. I have many questions that I’ve separated in different posts to make it easier to answer 🙂
What is the link to your site?
No dev yet, I'm at the planification stage.
