Seller Management

Admin

As the admin, you approve new sellers, edit their details, set their commission and limits, and suspend or remove them when needed.

The sellers list

Go to Marketplace >> Sellers. The list shows every seller account, but not the team members sellers add to their shops.

The Sellers list in the admin panel

Each row shows:

  • Seller Name — the seller's name and email, a link to their shop page and the seller ID.
  • Account Health — the health score and its band, the cancellation rate, the average rating, and a link to the seller's flags. See Account Health.
  • StatusApproved or Disapproved, Suspended when the account is suspended, and the date the seller joined.

The icons at the end of a row are Assign Product, Login as Seller, Refresh Account Health, Edit and Delete.

Search by name or email, or use Filter to narrow the list by account health, status, suspension or joining date.

Approve or disapprove sellers

  1. Go to Marketplace >> Sellers.
  2. Tick the sellers you want to change.
  3. Click Select Action, point to Update Status and click Approved or Disapproved.
  4. Click Agree to confirm.
The Update Status bulk action with Approved and Disapproved

Each seller whose status changes receives a Seller Approval Notification email saying their request was accepted or rejected, and a Seller Profile Update Notification email.

A disapproved seller can't sign in, and their shop page is no longer available.

Whether new sellers need approval at all is set by Approval Required in Sellers settings.

Add a seller

  1. Go to Marketplace >> Sellers.
  2. Click Add Sellers.
  3. In Create Seller, enter the Name, Email, Phone and Slug.
  4. Enter a Password and Confirm Password.
  5. Click Save. The seller's Edit Seller page opens so you can add the rest of their details.
The Create Seller form

The new seller follows the same approval rule and receives the same emails as a seller who signs up on the storefront.

Edit a seller

  1. Go to Marketplace >> Sellers.
  2. Click the edit icon on the seller's row.
  3. Change the details you need.
  4. Click Save Seller.
The Edit Seller page

The page has the seller's banner and logo at the top, then the cards you arrange in Seller Attributes: General, Description, Policies, Meta Description, Address, Social Links and Settings. Use the menu on the banner or logo to upload a new image or delete it. A banner in a 3:1 ratio, around 1320×300 pixels, fits best.

The seller receives a Seller Profile Update Notification email each time you save.
