Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify: Seller Profile Page Settings (New Theme)

We have updated the Multivendor Marketplace app for Shopify and is now available with a new feature of Seller Profile Page.

Each seller will have their respective seller profile page on the admin’s Marketplace where all the products of that seller will be displayed itself.

This User Guide will help you to understand how an admin can customize it as per his/her requirements.

All the products of that particular Seller will be displayed on each seller’s profile page. There will be a separate section of reviews given to that seller, policies & description (if added by the seller). Also, there will be a Feedback section from where customers will give their feedback for the seller’s products.

Now, from the Seller Profile Page Settings menu, you can customize the seller’s profile page by editing/changing the content of the page. In addition to it, you can change the content position of the profile page, show/hide content, change the theme as well.

If you want the customers to get redirected to the seller’s profile page, you have to paste the code in product.liquid template file mentioned in the configuration page. After pasting the code, a seller link will be displayed on the product description page. By clicking the link, you will be straightaway redirected to the seller’s profile page.

Admin can also create a menu of Seller Listing Page on his/her store by referring to below-given steps:

• Visit Shopify Store Backend
• Click “Online Store”
• Go to Navigation
• Click on Main Menu (if Created otherwise Add Menu)
• Enter Title and Link of Profile Page.
• Lastly, click on Add & Save the Menu.

This way, you can add a Seller Listing Page menu to your store’s frontend.

If you want to filter any seller’s products by Category, Tag or Type on the seller profile page then, this feature is available in Theme 1.

For this, you need to enable the “Restrict Collection”, “Restrict Tag” & “Restrict Type” tab from the “Restriction Configuration” menu of the app.
Make sure that you have added product collection, tags & product types in the app.

Now, the product categories, tags or types that you have added in the app will be visible to customers while adding/editing products. Thus, you can restrict sellers to add only those categories, tags or types to the products and accordingly the added categories, tags or types will be visible with the products in a filter option on the seller profile page.

This filter option will be visible like this on the seller profile page:-

NOTE:- The Edit Theme Code feature is available only in Theme 1. 

Moving on to the other options available in all the Themes to set profile pages of your sellers…

You will also get an option to select the color of Seller’s rating star.

Also, you can select the default “Sort by” option for the profile page. This is up to you that how you want your seller’s profiles to be listed on the page.

You can also upload a default banner for your seller’s profile page either as Banner Image or Background Video.

Additionally, you can Show or Hide the content of Profile Page as per your requirement.

NOTE:- The Show/Hide Seller Page Content Option is available only in Theme 1.

You can anytime re-position the Toggle Logo and Description on the profile page.

Admin can also write his/her own CSS for Profile Page.

If you select Theme 1, sellers page will look as shown in the screenshot below:

You can choose whether you want to display seller logo or seller profile image on seller listing page from: Multivendor App Admin Panel>>Go to Sellers>>Seller Profile Page Settings (from the drop-down menu).

Now you can create seller collection pages instead of a seller profile page with all the similar seller information from the: Admin panel >> sellers >> seller profile page settings.

The seller collection page can be created in two ways i.e, with collections OR without collection.
With collection: Select this if you want to create collections corresponding to all sellers on the Shopify side.
Without collection: Select this if you want to display the collection pages without creating the collections for all the corresponding sellers on the Shopify side.

NOTE: Please check carefully before saving the changes whether you want to select “with collection” or “Without collection” as once the collections are created selecting “with collection”, you will have to delete the collection manually in case you want to change the seller profile type to “without collections“.
Also if Merchant have more than 5000 sellers than we would recommend to not use with collection for Seller profile type.

Please NOTE: On updating the seller profile type, you need to regenerate the seller category page from the “Storefront configuration” section here:

Also, please note: If you have a customized seller profile page and you want to change the seller profile type, you need to make some changes from the wk-seller-category.liquid file in your theme instead of regenerating the page as regenerating the page will vanish the custom work and populate the default seller profile page provided by us.
If you want to change the seller profile type from “with collection” to “without collection” set the value to “0”
If you want to change the seller profile type from “without collection to with collection” set the value to “1”

You need to add these codes for the seller collection pages:

Copy following code into collection.liquid template before collection name and banner.
{% section ‘wk-seller-category’ %}

Copy following code into collection-template.liquid template and add class inside the collection banner and collection title div. To hide the collection banner and collection title from the Seller Collection page.
“wk-collection-profile-hide”

Copy following code into collection-template.liquid template and add class inside the parent div for products and filters. To hide the products when customer switches from one Tab to another( Seller Product , Feedback , Reviews, Policy, Description ).
“wk-seller-products”

NOTE: Now, the seller collection is now compatible with Shopify store 2.0.

Seller collection page on the storefront:

The seller collection page will look similar to the seller profile page:

Note:

• Before proceeding further kindly make sure that the handle name should be the same on the Shopify seller collection end and multi-vendor seller end
• In case Collection is not created then you can create it by going to Multivendor Admin Panel >> Sellers >> Sellers Listing >> Click on Three dots >> Select Edit >> On Edit Seller Page click on “More Action” Button >> Click on Create Collection as shown below.
• In case you are not finding this button then kindly wait as it takes a little time to create a collection at the Shopify end.
