Marketplaces have been asking, and 1.3.2 answers: you can now run real B2B on a Dokan marketplace. A new free bridge add-on makes the whole suite vendor-aware, without reinventing anything Dokan already does well.
What’s new
- Multivendor support for Dokan. Via the free Softminal B2B for Dokan add-on (requires Pro): vendor-scoped wholesale pricing, per-vendor invoices, marketplace trade registration, cross-vendor bulk ordering, and a “B2B Pricing” tab in each vendor’s dashboard.
- A “Vendor” rule scope. When the Dokan add-on is active, Price Rules and Quantity Rules gain a Vendor scope, so you can price a whole vendor’s catalogue in one rule.
- Email-deliverability Site Health check. Flags when no SMTP service is configured — so your invoices, approvals and quotes actually reach buyers instead of landing in spam.
Improved
- PDF invoices now render non-Latin currency symbols (for example the Bengali Taka) correctly instead of a “?”.
- The invoice PDF is now attached to the “order received” (processing) email by default, not only the completed-order email — useful for buyers paying on account.
- The “which price wins” guide on the Price Rules screen is now a compact info tooltip, with dark-mode polish across the rule screens.
For developers
New hooks for vendor-aware pricing and rule scopes, plus a small database update (rule-ownership columns) applied automatically.
Update now
Update from your Plugins screen, or get B2B Suite free on WordPress.org. The Dokan bridge is a free download unlocked by your Pro licence (it needs B2B Suite Pro and Dokan active).
