With Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify, you can convert your e-commerce store to a Marketplace where many sellers/vendors are registered and upload their products. Let’s have a look at the Seller Guide for this app.
In the app, the sellers/vendors need to either create an account on the store on their own or the admin/store owner can add them and create their account.
This is a basic Seller guide for the Sellers on your Marketplace.
There are certain steps that the seller needs to follow :
- Sign up/Login to the Seller Account.
- If the Seller has signup then wait for account approval from the Admin.
- Once approved, the seller can start uploading the products.
- Products also need to be approved by the Admin.
- Once approved, the products will be available on the Shopify Store.
- The seller needs to add the payment details to which he wish to receive the order payments.
- The seller can contact the Admin in case of an issue.
Seller Login/Sign up:
The seller/vendor needs to sign up on the store or log in to access the account.
The seller will be provided a URL from the admin, which you can use to signup/login. Or sellers can do it from the link on the admin Shopify store.
This the signup/login page for the seller.
To start adding products to the store, the seller needs to register/log in.

The seller can have an idea of the products, orders, commission (admin share in the order), etc by just looking at the dashboard.
