Kim,

The sellers test account must use a registered PayPal sandbox email.

Are you shipping physical items or just selling lesson plans?

PayPal disabled SSLv3 as a response to the POODLE vunerability. You can read about it here: PayPal Response

To fix it , navigate to

\dokan-paypal-adaptive-payments\lib\vendor\paypal\sdk-core-php\lib\PPHttpConfig.php

line 9 find //CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3 / and change the number 3 to 4.

i.g. //CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 4
Save and test again.

@torb I can help, email me at the above

Sure, lets get it done. email me at fr0styshelper(@)yahooDOTcom

You would need to hire a developer to custom code that for you.

My worry is, my web developer has made a lot of custom changes to the theme, therefore, if I switch to using the Dokan plugin, I’m concerned I will loose all of those changes. Also, do I need to delete the current theme them install the plugin and add the new Dokan theme?

Yes you will lose all those changes and yes you need to delete Dokan Theme to make room for the Dokan Plugin

My other concern is, if I do this, will I loose all of the work I have done so far? Will all my settings be re-set? Will I need to set up all my menus, pages, sliders etc again?

Your settings and other things are stored in the database

Did you install this on a sub domain? i.e. site.realsite.com ?

Maybe a problem with your SSL?

I love it, anyway I can become a beta tester?

I wonder what market are you guys trying to attack? Because you have the xcart, cs cart and ect all with option for multi-vendors BUT none with just a ‘regular’ user signing up to sell a few items. Our main users don’t have stores with lots of inventory of the same item and SKU’s . They want to list a few items and thats it.. That’s the ebay or etsy motto..

Good question.. I’ll wait to see what the mod answer is.

Hey Chris me and you are in the same boat… It’s actually a good thing that we switch to the plugin version. For starters we can choose any premium woocommerce theme we want. Custom code a child theme and never have to worry again. We get greater flexibility. With wedevs only having to worry about functionality and not “themes” it frees them up to make Dokan even better.

Yes, its a pain in the ass and its costly but after you move your changes over, its nothing but smooth sailing from there.

Dokan has an extension call PayPal adaptive payments which allows you to use paypal’s parallel payments. It was a quick fix for me until I found out that it only allows a max of 6 items. The reasoning behind it was PayPal only allows a max of 6 recipients to receive a payment in one order.BUT what if you only check out items in two stores (2 recipients + you for your fee) with 14 items? It doesn’t work because they limited to 6 items with no type of logic or whatif.. So I had to custom code it.

But yes, that is accurate to say.

Sophie, are you using Google translate ? I wish I could help but the English is so broken I cant understand.

ha, that access would cost you.

But, your on the right track. Switch the primary in chained payments to sellers, only checkout from one store at a time. Remove the 6 item limit , which is kinda silly.

To get PayPal to set the buyers address you have to go with embedded chained payments, which caused me some headaches to implement .
