This article explains how to setup your vendor registration for your online marketplace.

There are different ways you can manage your vendor registration

  1. Using Vendor Registration: Anyone can apply directly as Vendor using the Joobi vendor registration form. Just create a Joomla menu from the menu manager and assign a "menu item type" >> Vendor registration.
  2. Registration first: Anyone who wants to become a vendor will need to register as a user first using Joomla or any other registration component. Once user registration is complete, you can access the Joobi vendor registration to become a vendor.
  3. Automatic Vendor: Anyone who registers into your website using Joomla or any registration component will become a vendor automatically.

Setup

  1. From the admin panel, navigate to jMarket >> Vendors >> Vendor Preferences >> Vendor Registration section
  2. Select the right setup base on your requirements
  3. Click [ Save] once you are done

Important to note

  1. Any view that you will customize will not be overwritten during upgrade
  2. If you will change the parent of the element or create new Menu, make sure there is no stray elements. it can result to menu being hidden from the website frontend.
  3. In the Core column, only "Core" elements are updated during upgrade not the uncore ones.
  4. If an element/view is broken, our technical support will not debug on broken views. We will reset the view to "Core" automatically to fix the problem.
  5. After you modify, please verify that the vendor menu is still working properly, some of these menu elements are important in the proper functioning of the application.
