What’s New In Dokan Latest Update 3.11 and Above

There were 28 fixes, 6 updates, and 1 new feature included with these three versions.

Here are the major changes you should check out:

Free Shipping Coupon for Vendors

This new feature allows vendors to create free shipping coupons for their stores. This will enable them to offer customers more options and increase their sales.

There are advantages of using this feature for a marketplace-

• Removes a common barrier for online shoppers
• Encourages customers to add more items to their carts
• Works as an attractive incentive for new customers to try out the marketplace
• Makes your marketplace more appealing compared to competitors
• During holidays or special events, free shipping coupons can be part of broader marketing campaigns to boost sales during peak times.

This feature will help marketplace admins and vendors serve their customers more effectively.

You will find the free shipping coupon in the pro version of Dokan multivendor. So, if you face any trouble while setting up the free shipping coupon, you can read this documentation on how to set up the Free Shipping Coupon for vendors.

Stripe Express Recipient Cross Border Transfer Payout Support

Stripe Express is one of the most popular payment methods in the world. Dokan multivendor has integrations with Stripe Express. But we’ve extended the facility in our latest version. Now users from 131+ countries will be able to connect Stripe Express payment method.

This feature enables you to pay your vendors in their local currencies. With the right configuration, you can transfer funds to connected accounts in other countries right from your Dokan marketplace.

But this feature is only for the USA-based marketplaces as per Stripe recipient account agreement requirements.

Here’s what you will get with this new feature-

• Enables businesses to accept payments from customers around the world
• Supports a wide variety of payment methods popular in different regions
• Allows businesses to accept payments in multiple currencies
• Converts payments to the marketplace’s preferred currency automatically

• Utilizes advanced security features and compliance standards, such as PCI DSS
• Offers a seamless and frictionless payment experience.

New Look of Vendor Verification Module

While we have added new features and updates, we have also redesigned the Vendor Verification module to make it more user-friendly for both the admin and vendors.

We have added new vendor verification badges on the admin end. This way admin can assign different designs of badges to the vendors that have been verified.

The badges will be shown on the single store page and in the store list. It will increase the trust of the customers.

Admin also can add different types of custom methods to verify their vendors. For example, if the admin wants they can add “Social Security Number” as a verification method. They can edit the other verification methods as well.

Besides, vendors will get a new interface to verify their stores. The interface is more user-friendly and concise.

Moreover, vendors now can verify their store from the setup wizard itself. This reduces the hassle of verifying after registering.

These new features will further enhance the marketplace shopping experience.

We have released some updates along with these new features. Such as:

• We have added a pending refund request message in the order details page and hidden the refund request button when there is a pending refund request
• Added the Email recipient settings support for some email templates.
• Subscription-based filtering support was added on the admin dashboard Dokan vendor listing page.
