OpenCart Marketplace Multi-Step Vendor Signup
OpenCart Marketplace Multi-Step Vendor Signup: The trend of filling in long forms has passed out of sight with the introduction of multi-step forms, cutting short the lengthy registration process for website users.
The Opencart Marketplace Multi-Step Vendor Signup module allows the admin to develop plain and simple, multi-step registration forms for the sellers.
This eases the form filling procedure as the sellers will not have to go through several pages and visit those strenuous fields which they need to fill in.
The admin simply configures the number of steps of a registration form and even allows uploading file extensions for sellers.
For every step or page of a registration form, the admin adds the attributes or fields which the sellers need to fill in.
On submitting the registration form, the seller receives a mail including the OTP. The seller needs to enter the OTP and verify it.
Just a plain sailing registration form can get good fortune for your website by converting the visitors into leads.
