Personal account for vendor for Multi-Vendor

Before you can allow a new registered seller to fill a storefront with goods and start selling something, you need to get all the information about him. The module allows you to create a personal account for the vendor, where the seller will have to enter all the necessary data. Until he does this, he will not be able to proceed to the next operations..


SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Suitable for facilitating the interaction of the marketplace with vendors.


APPLICATION EXAMPLE

When registering a new seller, there is no need for the marketplace to separately request documents and check the vendor. The seller fills out the questionnaire on his own, enters the data into his personal account. The marketplace independently determines the priority of information (less important documents can be sent later).

SPECIFICATIONS
  • Allows you to create pages, blocks, profile fields;
  • Adds the ability to moderate a personal account by an administrator;
  • Allows you to create notification templates for moderation.
