Vendor Display Settings

I created and configured one static page to display a list of vendors.

1. Display – Check to display the vendor on the front end
2. Vendor Page - Create a static page and associate it as the vendor page
3. Number to display – Set the number to display per page
4. Display Name - Username

Set the following:

There is only one person registered as a vendor, but he is displayed in this manner.

If you do not want to output the list page, uncheck Show vendors on front end under Display to prevent the automatic output of the list page.

Search & Register

Next, there are search and registration settings. By default, only keyword search is included.

If you want to register as a vendor when registering as a user, check Allow direct registration.

Adding custom fields to vendor registration

As a vendor, you can add custom fields that you want your customers to fill out before listing your products.

• vendor
• attribute

It will be.

Click Add New to add a new custom field. For example, let's set up a message input field.

• Required - Check if you want to make the field required
• Field Type - This time we are adding a single line text input field.
• Description – You can enter a description for this field.
• Placeholder - Gray placeholders allow you to display sample text at the beginning
• Minimum number of characters - You can set the minimum number of characters you want users to enter
• Maximum number of characters - You can set the maximum number of characters that can be entered
