Can I add verified badge for vendors?

Hi everyone, I have some pre-sale questions:

  • I would like to create a site for coaches to market and potentially sell hours of their time. Could the site be setup to show coaches/vendors, rather than the products? I’d like all of the search filtering and results to yield coaches not products. Is this possible? If yes, how? Do you have screen shots that can show me how it would look and how to set it up?

  • I don’t plan on taking a commission but rather, charging a recurring monthly fee for coaches to sell hours of time. Is this method possible? Do you have screen shot of how I would accomplish this?

  • I would also like to offer the ability for coaches to allow calendar integration and booking; however, I would like to charge the coaches a higher second-tier monthly fee for this option. Could this be done? Can only vendors that have selected the higher monthly fee option get access to booking?

  • Am I able to “verify” vendors? If so, how can I add such a badge? Can I upload a label? Do you have screenshots?

  • Can I categorize vendors with badges other than just the “verified” badge? I’d like some categorizations to show with badges and other without. Is this possible? If so, how? Do you have screenshots?

Hi,

  1. Yes, you can customize it, but it all depends on the theme you choose, I recommend considering the ExpertHive theme, testing the demo https://experthive.hivepress.io/ and watching the course The complete course on setting up ExpertHive - HivePress Help Center

  2. You can charge vendors only for publishing a listing using the Paid Listings extension, but please note that we do not have a recurring payments feature, so vendors will have to manually re-purchase packages. As a workaround, you can set up a commission: How to set up commissions - HivePress Help Center

  3. Unfortunately, there is no such feature as charging more for adding a particular feature for vendors, because when you enable the Bookings extension, which provides a calendar and bookings, this feature will be available to everyone.

  4. Yes, you can mark a vendor as verified in WP Dashboard > Vendors > Edit Vendor.

  5. Yes, you can add categories in WP Dashboard > Vendors > Categories.

​I hope this is helpful to you.
