e-mails and drop shipping

[dougcavin]

i am going to be doing some drop shipping and want to send multiple e-mails. i need to know if i can set up the e-mails by product. i have multiple products from multiple companies but want to be able to match the company to the product so they get a copy of the order at the same time as i do. is this possible? thanks, doug

Take a look here:

in that link it says: "So, from my experience, Zen Cart cannot handle drop shipping the way that you described, not just the default install. BUT, there is a drop shipper purchase order mod in the downloads. This will send emails to each vendor with the customer details, products, shipping method, etc and will split out different vendors in one order. It is not automatic but it's a very simple interface in the admin. I am currently looking into automating this by modifying the code."

are they talking about zen cart in that paragraph or the other site they talked about? if it is in zen cart do you know where? thanks for helping out by the way. doug

(Read the entire thread where that post appears...)

Additional functionality for your zencart can be found in many places. A large number of free modules are to be found in the "Free Software Add-ons" section (link above). If the author of the drop shipping module submitted it to this site, you will find it there. Do a search for "drop shipping" when you get there.

You simply download the module (usually zipped) to your hard drive, extract it, read the install notes, then FTP it to your ZC installation on the remote server.

The Advanced Shipper module is only available commercially (you pay for it) and I suggest you send a Private Message to forum member ceon to get details of this module.

you want to use the drop ship purchase order module available in the free downloads section, it is exactly what you want but the only thing about it is that the emails to your vendors are not automatically sent, you have to do it from the admin panel.
