Open Settings, then Vendor Settings. Vendor Registration decides who can sign up as a seller. Max Services per Vendor caps how many listings one seller can have. Service Moderation and Review Moderation let you check new work before it goes live. Save at the foot of the section. Step two. See the sign-up page. This is what a member sees at Become a Vendor, with what they get, and how it works. Register as Vendor sends the application. It is not clicked here. Step three. Find your sellers. Open Vendors. Tabs sort them into All, Active, Pending and Suspended. Pending lists people who have applied, here Isabel Ruiz and Samuel Adeyemi, until you decide. Step four. Manage a seller.
