Premium version settings - Doc of YITH Frontend Manager for WooCommerce

Frontend Manager page

Home > Premium version settings

By activating the plugin, the “Frontend Manager” page will be automatically created on your site.

Only administrator and shop manager users are allowed to access the page and manage the shop from the frontend.

Although set by default, you can select a different page of your site to allow accessing the frontend dashboard.
To do it, follow these two steps:

insert the shortcode [yith_woocommerce_frontend_manager] in the new page
go to the plugin settings dashboard (YITH -> Frontend Manager) and select the page in the entry “Frontend Manager” page.

The plugin adds two entries to the WordPress topbar and My Account page allowing the administrator and shop manager to quickly access the frontend dashboard.

Access to frontend dashboard by wordpress dahsboard

Enable/disable sections

By default, all WooCommerce sections show in the “frontend dashboard”.

However, you can choose to enable or disable every single section from the plugin settings dashboard.

If used in combination with YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, the plugin allows choosing the sections to enable for vendors.

Access control

The access to the page used as “frontend dashboard” is limited to administrators and shop managers only.

YITH Auctions for WooCommerce allows you to sell the items in your store using an auction system. Every bid your users make is automatically processed until the auction is closed: the winner will receive an email inviting them to purchase the item; if they don’t, you can choose to keep the auction closed or open it again.

Thanks to the integration with YITH Frontend Manager for WooCommerce, you will be able to manage auction products from the frontend.

After installing and activating both plugins, auction products will be available among product types when adding a new product to your store.

Please note – When the two plugins are used also in combination with YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, vendors don’t have the possibility to reschedule their auctions and cannot see the Auction status meta box.

For further details about YITH Auctions for WooCommerce settings, please refer to the official documentation.

YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor

Home > Premium version settings

Thanks to the integration with YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, you can extend access to the “frontend dashboard” to all the vendors of your shop.

Instead of managing orders and products from WordPress dashboard, also the vendors can manage their shop from the site frontend.

Just make sure both plugins are installed and activated.

By default all the WooCommerce sections are visible to vendors (with limited access to the vendors’ own products, orders etc), but you can further restrict their view and hide some of these sections from YITH > Frontend Manager > Sections:

In addition to the default WooCommerce sections, you can also enable “Vendor settings” section to allow users to manage all the settings related to their vendor profiles from the frontend.

This combination is also fully integrated with the following plugins:

YITH Order Tracking: your vendors will be able to edit the tracking code and carrier in the order details from the frontend.
YITH Auctions: your vendors will be able to create and edit an auction product from the frontend dashboard.
