Multi steps form for vendor registration process

General HivePress
1

I’m using the Expert Hivepress theme .

Question 1.
In the vendor registration process When the Pop-up window opens to Sign In and you Select
Register.
It needs to take you to a Registration page instead of only an email sign-up page.
On the registration page we need to walk the vendors through the information we need from them.
Eg: 1. About your business – Select type/category, location.
2. Personal/business details – Owner info, contact, credentials.
Submit
Currently the set up is just email and password and then redirects the vendor to complete profile.

Question 2.

In a Vendor complete profile,
Instead of one long form is it possible to have Multi steps as I have many fields on that page it would be nice if it was pages that we navigated to with a
← Back & Next → button at the bottom

Hi,

By default, users become vendors only after adding at least one listing that gets approved.

If you don’t require vendors to have at least one listing, you can enable direct vendor registration. This way, users can register as vendors directly without adding listings: How to add a vendor registration form - HivePress Help Center.

Once enabled, you can add the direct registration link to the header. The flow works as follows:

  1. The user fills out the common registration form, which is used for all users and vendors. This includes basic fields like email and password.
  2. After registration, if you have required vendor attributes and the direct vendor registration is enabled, the user will be redirected to complete their vendor profile. This step is vendor-specific and can include custom attributes such as personal or business details and so on.

Please note that attributes marked as required in the user fields will appear on the common registration form and apply to all users, including vendors. If you want fields to be required only for vendors, create them as vendor attributes, which will appear in the Complete Vendor Profile step. This step appears either during the Add Listing / Add Service process or via the direct link /register-vendor if direct vendor registration is enabled.

If needed, the first page in the vendor registration flow [the Sign In step] can be overridden in HivePress Templates. You can replace the login form there with a registration form, so it won’t appear in a modal and will be displayed directly on the page if the modal is confusing for users.

Regarding the second question, this will require custom implementation. If you have coding experience, you can try customizing it yourself using the collection of code snippets found here: Search · user:hivepress · GitHub as well as other developer resources: Getting started | Developer Docs. Alternatively, you may want to consider hiring a freelancer for custom development: Customize your website | HivePress.

Hope I helped with your request

Thank you

I have enabled the direct vendor registration and its working fine.
So what we want when the new vendor clicks on /register-vendor via the link from the menu or anywhere on the website.
When a new vendor clicks on /register-vendor first, they should see the complete profile page and there we can walk the vendors through the information we need via custom attribute and on the same complete profile page, they can also add their email and password.

Is this possible?

Please note that the first step for all users (including vendors) is to sign in, as it’s necessary to have an account before collecting any user or vendor data. After signing in, the “Complete Profile” form will appear for vendors. This is the default behavior. If you’d like to modify this flow, it would require custom development.
