I have a feature request that is absolutely essential for my marketplace and without which launching would be nearly impossible. In the B2B sector, a significant number of orders are paid via invoice (Rechnung) or cash on delivery (COD). However, there is currently no efficient way to automatically collect the commission from vendors, which creates a major operational challenge.
Feature Idea:
When a buyer purchases a product via invoice or COD, MarketKing could automatically create a virtual product representing the commission amount. This virtual product would be added to the vendor’s cart as a pending payment.
How it works:
Customer places an order via invoice/COD → Vendor receives the full amount.
MarketKing generates a virtual product equivalent to the commission.
This virtual product is added to the vendor’s cart as an outstanding payment.
Payment deadline: 14 days → If unpaid, the vendor’s selling capabilities are restricted.
If the order is canceled or refunded, the commission charge is reversed.
Why is this feature critical?
✅ Essential for my marketplace – launching without it is nearly impossible
✅ Automated commission collection for invoice & COD payments
✅ No manual tracking or follow-ups required
✅ Ensures commission is paid immediately after each sale
✅ Prevents vendors from avoiding commission payments
Since many B2B transactions rely on invoice payments, this feature is a must-have for my marketplace. Other multi-vendor platforms already use similar mechanisms to ensure commission collection on invoice purchases.
Would it be possible to integrate this feature into MarketKing? I would highly appreciate your feedback on this! 😊
Basically I understand you're looking to do this completely automatically.
MarketKing can calculate the commission, but not the 'collection' of that commission.
I think any solution involves some kind of custom snippet.
I was suggesting maybe a snippet that simply checks the outstanding balance daily. If negative (if the vendor owes the admin), send an email with instructions to the vendor on how to settle the debt.
If it reaches a certain threshold, or for example 14 days without any payments made, inactivate the vendor.
We can try to work with you on setting up something like this.
