After you have installed and activated WC Vendors Marketplace you are prompted to run our setup wizard. This will help you configure your basic marketplace settings. The Setup Wizard prompt will appear upon activating WC Vendors Marketplace.
Please Note: If you do not run the setup wizard you will need to manually create all your pages and add the shortcodes. We don’t recommend you do that unless you have a good reason.
Run the setup wizard
Step 1 – Start
The first page provides details related to your general configuration. This is where you control the ability for users to sign up to be vendors, how to approve vendors, and give taxes and shipping as well as the commission rate.
Step 2 – Capabilities
The capabilities step will allow you to control the capabilities the vendors are given when they login in. This includes their ability to access and edit products and orders.
Step 3 – Pages
WC Vendors Marketplace requires several pages and shortcodes configured. This step will configure these automatically for you.
Step 4 – Ready
Your marketplace is ready for further configuration. Feel free to sign up to our newsletter to get tips and tricks to get your marketplace up and running. When you’re ready click ‘Return to your dashboard at the bottom of the wizard.
