Paid Listings and Vendor registration flow question

[digitalnomadic]

There seem to be 2 different vendor registration flows. These result in different emails and the vender being given a different user role.

I’m using the paid listing plugin with woocommerce. I have a membership page which has the listing packages block.

#1: Register → Add listing → Purchase package
- Vendor is given the role of contributor and emails are from hivepress

#2: Purchase package (creates account) → Add listing
- Vendor is given the role of customer and emails come from woocommerce. (also, after they choose a password they are taken to /my-account page instead of /account)

I would really like to simplify this so every vendor goes through the same process and I don’t have to worry about 2 different email templates.

Did I miss something or any ideas how this might be achieved?

Hi,

Please note that if you use direct registration for a vendor, there is no redirect to checkout. Regarding Paid Listings, specifically the functionality of adding a listing, we recommend that you check the user’s role after their listing is published, they will automatically receive the role of Contributor.

​I hope this is helpful to you.

The direct registration for vendors doesn’t help me because I need to have a page that lists the pricing packages.

Because I need this pricing page and someone can register through “add listing”/direct registration I am stuck with these 2 routes.

Route 1: Vendors click “Add Listing” > Register > Create Listing > Select Package > Purchase Package

Route 2: Vendors click “Buy Package” on the Membership page > Checkout > Register > Create Listing

• If someone goes this route, they get an email from woocommerce with a link to set their password. This takes them to woocommerce’s “/my-account” dashboard instead of the “/account” dashboard that hivepress uses.

I would like to streamline the process so all vendors go through the same registration/purchase process. The only thing I can think of is making a custom listing packages block that just redirects people to the registration page.

It doesn’t seem like there is a simple fix and would probably require a custom solution. I’m not asking for an exact solution, just hoping someone might have a better idea.

Yes, in case of non-registered users the registration occurs during checkout, so there are 2 actions completed via a single form. I can provide a code snippet to redirect the WooCommerce account page to the HivePress account page, let me know if this works for you.

[digitalnomadic]

Yes, that snippet would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, we got more dev-specific support requests this week than expected. I will post the snippet within 24 hours or less.

Please try using this code snippet, you can add it via the Code Snippets plugin:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () {

    // Check for authorization.
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
       return;
    }

    // Check for woocommerce installation.
    if ( ! function_exists('is_woocommerce') ) {
       return;
    }

    // Redirect woocommerce account page.
    if ( is_account_page() && ! is_wc_endpoint_url( 'orders' ) ) {
       wp_safe_redirect( hivepress()->router->get_url( 'user_account_page' ) );
       exit;
    }
} );
