Bump

With you there Kelly!

Just to add that we still need customers to be able to register too, who don’t tick the Apply to be a Vendor tick box. My customers have to have an account to purchase items (and obviously to ask sellers questions)

Do you think there is any chance that someone can keep us all posted on what is happening with this URGENT issue?! It’s very disheartening raising URGENT issues and 3 days later no one from your team has responded 🙁

Thank you in advance,

Karen

Hi Pallavi,

Thank you for responding.

The problem we have is you guys have your own registration form. As pretty as it is, it doesn’t allow sellers to apply to be Vendors on our sites. When vendors apply to be sellers, they go through a completely different navigation flow which sends them to the WCVendors Dashboard, where they can fill in their shop details.

WCVendors added a tick box ‘Apply to be a Vendor’ to the normal Woo Commerce My Account Registration form to allow sellers to register. If sellers tick the box when they register they are taken to the WCVendors Dashboard rather than through the normal registration process.

I have temporarily added the ability for vendors to register to be a vendor on My Account page (https://www.consciouscrafties.com/my-account/) so that you will be able to see the Registration form that DOES allow vendors to apply (see the ‘Apply to be a vendor’ tick box). If you fill in the registration form and tick ‘apply to be a vendor’ (using test details) on my site your will see that it takes you through the registration process for a vendor rather than your normal registration flow. You are welcome to have a play, but please let me know that you are from BuddyBoss so I can delete your account.

I really love that you have created a registration form that is separate to the log in form (that is a huge bonus!), but it doesn’t allow our users to apply to be sellers/vendors on our sites.

If you were to ask what the ideal solution would be here it is:

It would be wonderful if you could display the Apply to be a Vendor Registration form on a page that contains our Seller Terms and Conditions (like this page here https://www.consciouscrafties.com/sell/join-the-crafties/ – I use a temp form at the moment to capture vendor registrations). That’s what I believe we would all like, so the Apply to be a Vendor Registration form appears with our Terms and Conditions (minus the log in form).

As many of us also have buyers registering on our site, they would need a normal registration form (without the Apply to be a Vendor tick box), with maybe a note ‘Want to apply to sell on this site? Apply Here’ – linking them to the Vendor Application page.

One of the main reasons I bought the theme was for the social sign in benefits. I activated your recommend social sign in plug in, but the social sign in buttons only appear on your registration form not the Apply to be a Vendor registration form (so I’ve now deactivated the plug in for now).

I hope this helps but you can contact me any time for more information and I’ll be more than happy to help.

Thank you,

Karen

So does it not get updated when we receive our Marketplace theme updates?
How do we know when we need to update Visual Composer as it doesn’t say version level in my account?

Many thanks,

Karen

Just checking this will be available in the next release – add checkbox to pop up registration form if we have this enabled in wp-admin?

Many thanks,

Karen
