How to Add KYC Documents In Magento 2 Marketplace

A KYC document allows the marketplace store owner to obtain information about the identity and address of the vendors. This will make sure that the vendor’s identity is verifiable which helps in maintaining a trust factor.

In the default Magento 2, there is no option by which you can extend the vendor/seller registration page. Now, how can we extend vendor/seller registration page?

We can make use of Magento 2 Vendor Attribute Manager Marketplace extension that helps the admin to create additional vendor attributes that are displayed on the vendor registration page.

After the installation of this extension, the admin can easily create the vendor custom attributes. Vendors will fill in these attributes and can update these attributes at their vendor profile page. These attributes will be visible to the admin in the backend.

Let’s see how the admin can create vendor custom attribute for the KYC document so that the vendor can upload his document in a media image format. However, there are various inputs types provided from which the admin can choose from.

Note: As Magento 2 Vendor Attribute Manager Marketplace add-on is an add-on of the Marketplace module, so you must have first installed the Magento 2 Marketplace.

After the successful installation of the Magento 2 Marketplace Vendor Attribute Manager extension, Admin can find two tabs – Vendor Attribute Manager & Vendor Attribute Group Manager (create groups and then put the vendor attributes into the created groups) under Marketplace Management.

Clicking the Vendor Attribute Manager tab will bring up a new page. Now click on the “Add Attribute” button to add a new custom attribute for the seller as shown below in the snapshot.

Another page “New Vendor Attribute” will open as shown below in the snapshot.

On this page, the admin will set the –

• Default label(set the default label for the vendor attribute).
• Attribute Code(set the attribute code without spaces).
• Frontend Input Type(select the input type for the attribute, here select Media Image).
• Allowed Extensions(select the allowed extension types for the Media Image).
• Values Required(select yes to make this option as Required). 
• Input field Sort Order(set the sort order for the vendor attribute in the list of available attributes).

Now go to the “Manage Label” option under Vendor Attribute Information to set the default label that will be visible to the vendors at the front end. After setting the default label, click the save button to save the new attribute.

After saving the attribute you will be redirected back to the attribute list. Here select the attribute that you want to display on the seller registration page and from the dropdown select – Manage Display Fields to Show or Hide the attribute at the seller profile as shown below in the snapshot.

On the frontend when a seller goes for the registration he will be able to see the additional attribute for the KYC document as shown below in the snapshot.

After the seller has registered, the KYC details will be visible to the admin in the admin backend. The admin will navigate to Marketplace Management -> Marketplace Seller. The page that opens up, click on the name of the seller. This brings up the Customer Information page and here under the Vendor Attribute Fields menu option, the admin will find the KYC document uploaded by the seller.
