Hello, when user wants to become vendor, they can fill additional info (attrributes for vendors) in their profile or they get automatically redirected to filling it when they want to add new listing. When they fill required vendor attributes, they get to next step of creating listing itself.
The problem:
If user filled just some required fields, and not all of those required attributes, they can save it but don’t become vendor, because they cant go to another step and make a listing by which they would become vendor with active listing.
Question:
How to access this info, this attributes filled by users who wants to become vendor but are not yet? When they don’t publish first listing and are not yet vendors? Where is the info, the filled in attributes for vendors stored for admin to see when they are not vendors yet? Thank you
If a user hasn’t completed their profile, the vendor profile remains in auto-draft status. In this case, it won’t appear in WordPress > Vendors. Auto-draft profiles are automatically deleted if the user never becomes a vendor.
That doesn’t seem like a good option when you have it paired with something like this Vendors ID confirmations - #12 by ihor Where you, as admin, click on the “doc checked” on vendor, but you cannot access it when user is not yet vendor. For example if you require from vendors uploading some document, they upload it, but don’t make a first listing. You see as admin that they uploaded some file, which you have access to, so you would like to mark the user as “Doc checked” because you see they upload it, but they did not yet become vendor, so you don’t have access to do that. Any clever ideas and ways to do this better? Thank you
Is the direct registration option being used? If not, the vendor still needs to complete the listing submission. Only after that will a draft vendor profile be created, which allows moderation of the first listing and the vendor.
If the vendor abandons the submission before finishing, the profile won’t exist anywhere, as the default condition for creating a vendor profile is that at least one listing has been submitted.
Currently, there isn’t an intermediate moderation step for partially completed vendor profiles, but we appreciate the suggestion and will consider ways to improve this flow.
