How to manually add vendors to your marketplace

YITH Multi Vendor/ Marketplace provides two options to register users as vendors. One is for users to register directly as vendors from the frontend of the shop; the second is for administrators to manually add vendors from the plugin dashboard. Let’s review in detail this second option:

  1. The first step to manually add a vendor is to go to YITH > Multi Vendor > Vendors > Vendors List:
     Vendors List subtab
  2. Here, at the top, there is an ‘Add vendor’ button, and by clicking on it a modal window will open to proceed and complete the vendor profile information:
     Add new vendor
  3. The vendor registration has five different sections. First, it is necessary to enter the ‘account info’ (it is possible to choose from an existing user or create a new user profile):
      Add vendor - account info
  4. In step 2, all the required fields related to the ‘store info’ must be completed:
     Add vendor - store info
  5. Step 3 allows to enter ‘additional info’ regarding the vendor’s social media profiles:
     Add vendor - additional info
  6. In step 4, it is possible to enter the vendor’s payment information:
     Add vendor - payment info
  7. Finally, in step 5, there are additional ‘options’ to override the global settings. Here it is possible to set for each vendor: vendor commission, skip admin review, and allow the vendor to set featured products:
