How to automatically send orders for products to drop shippers once payment is made?

[jimmyc]

Hi all.

Does anyone know how, or if it is possible to automatically send email orders to my drop shipper/supplier for a product to be shipped to a client automatically once it is paid for?

I can set the order to send them the invoice on order completion by including their address in my email order confirmation, but it also includes the prices I charge.
I want to send them an order with the wholesale pricing on it with the ship to address so they can post it direct.

(plus can i also automate paypal to pay them the wholesale price)

I can't seem to find this functionality in prestashop.

I would have thought the auto order part would be a basic requirement for drop shipping, but i am new to all this...

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a program currently to do this. It will send an XML (or some other format) order to the supplier when the order is paid. At this point I may be able to include features you want.

Hello. I am interested in this mod as well. Have you gotten anywhere in creating this module?

Thank you,

Hi. My client never finished the project so it wasn't done. If you are interested I can do it for you. See email address above.

Could you write the solution a module for PS and sell it?

I would be interested

The only common part of the software is gettting the data from the database. Each vendor requires the data in it's own proprietary form and each may require a different format (XML, CSV, SOAP etc..). So it is essentially impossible to write code that can handle any vendor. That means that writing a standard mod is impractical.

If you are interested in a custom mod for your vendors contact me at the email below.

Hi

I was not looking for anything as complicated as that

It would be nice just have the facility to print out an order listing by customer order split by suppliers within that order. from which one could easily place orders on suppliers.
Using the customer invoice is the only way one has at present but one has to make sure the supplier ref is used for the PS product ref as well.

You could offer that as a basic module to which the special code can be added for another fee?

Any thoughts

What I've done in the past is to encode the a supplier ID into the product id. That way you can see immediately what supplier supplies what products.
