We have been searching this kind of app for a long time and now we finally found what we'we been looking for! Been using it for a few weeks now and seems like a really quality app. We'we had some questions and special requests about the app and the customer service has handled them all quickly. Special thanks to Martin!
The best customer service we have had from an app developer since starting our business more than 3 years ago! The willingness to work with us to help us set this up exactly to our needs was exceptional. Support always comes back to us within minutes and gives us extremely detailed and solid feedback...
We are working with many vendors on consignments and looked for a easy solution while giving the vendors the option of viewing their sales. Puppet Vendor is absolute excellent and stunning and the customer service the best I had so far. I suggest to show thumb mails of the vendors sales and the update this feature within a few days for free...
A very unusual app and probably the only one able to easily perform a follow-up of the sales and commission to pay. We sell painting online and pay commissions to artists. We were looking for a way to reduce the workload at the end of the month to calculate commission for our artists. No more excel, and multiple back and forth with our 20+ artists...
Here are some of the questions we get from customers. If can't find yours, just write to us.
What do I do if the way I calculate commissions or deductions is different from how PuppetVendors does it?
We are open to catering the calculation method based on your input so feel free to reach out.
Do calculations include tax and shipping?
No. Shipping can be added as a custom deduction in the vendor settings if needed. Tax is only included if you have the tax option enabled in the app.
How many vendor login accounts, orders or products does PuppetVendors allow me to sync?
There's currently no limit to the number of vendor login accounts, orders or products.
How are the commissions or deductions calculated?
You will be able to find both the commissions and deductions calculations example in the vendor settings page.
I need something custom for my store. Is that something workable?
Definitely, depending on the request, we will be more than happy to work with you and have the custom feature sorted just for you.
What kind of turnaround can I expect for email support?
We currently do batch support via email twice a day at 9 am and 7 pm SGT.
Does installing PuppetVendors slow down my Shopify store?
No, we do not make any modifications to your theme code.
I only see 250 orders synced. What's happening?
PuppetVendors initially only syncs 250 orders to avoid long wait times for you and all new orders going forward. You can sync historical orders in the settings area.
How often are orders imported from my Shopify store to PuppetVendors
Orders are synced in real-time. PuppetVendors also auto-syncs your orders twice a day in addition to the real-time sync.
How does PuppetVendors find vendor names?
PuppetVendors scans your order list and finds unique vendor name and populates them onto your dashboard.
What do I do if I run into issues?
We appreciate you using PuppetVendors to help you with your business and are here to help resolve any issues you may have. Feel free to reach out to support for any assistance.
Is the commission rate for the merchant (your store) or vendor?
Commission rate is the amount you keep while the payout amount is what you would pay the vendor.
How does pricing work?
The base plan is $19/month with a limit of 30 vendors. There are additional add-ons available to increase the number of vendors and add functionality to the portal including Whitelabel and Product Management.
