Hello,
The option to KYC users and/or vendors would be extremely helpful. Depending on what services are offered, it may even be legally required in order to perform the purchased task. Having the option to enable/disable KYC for vendors and/or users would be amazing. I imagine you would integrate this with a 3rd party KYC platform. Is this something you guys have given any thought to?
Thank you,
Andrew
Thanks for your feedback, we’ll consider adding integration with some third-party KYC platform (e.g. for verifying docs automatically). In the current version there may be a workaround if you add a custom Attachment attribute for vendors and verify the docs manually.
Please can you tell us how we can go about the manual workaround with code snippets if possible to attach a custom attachment attribute for vendors so we can verify the docs manually or suggest 3rd party KYC platform or plugin where we can use. It’s really important
You can add a custom vendor attribute in Vendors/Attributes, set the Attachment type for it and restrict the file types (e.g. to PDF). If you don’t set any display areas for it, then vendors will have to upload a document during the registration, and only admins will be able to view these attachments in WordPress/Vendors.
If you use Stripe Connect for payouts, they handle KYC on their side automatically, asking for documents and verifying every vendor.
Vendors also need as much protection as the user. So how about KYC authentication for the user? How can we go about it? Also Is it possible to restrict use of the platform until document is verified?
In addition to document verification, it would really be helpful if you integrate automatic phone number verification alongside email verification. Phone number can be verified within the user’s/vendor’s profile.
