YITH Multivendor Premium – Catalog Mode vendor product upload template

Hi step8601,

1. i’m trying to set up my site as a multi vendor advertising site

there will not be any product sales

rather, i want to create a few recurring vendor subscription plans (paypal is find, 2CO works well too), admin would create the categories, and then vendors would create or upload their product data through their account control panel

is this possible with the YITH Multivendor Premium system?

I’m sorry but I didn’t understand what you want to do. Please, can you explain me again ? Thanks

2. does the same template in the demo come with the premium plugin?

Yes, of course but your theme author must add the compatibility with our plugin. However if you have issue with the plugin style and your theme you can contact our Support Team that can help you for this kind of issue.

3. my site might have hundreds of categories and a thousand or more vendors, could be a few hundred thousand products, can YITH multivendor handle this?

Yes, it’s possible but you need a very strong server! For this application the quality of hosting service is a key parameter for the success of the store.

For a medium store you don’t need particular server but for this kind of ecommerce you need a dedicated server. A very strong service!

4. does your plugin or any addon allow visitors to contact vendors about their products? if yes, can admin first review/approve those contact requests to help control spam?

Yes, the custome can send an email to vendor with the wuick contact form in the Vendor Store page. However the admin can’t review the contact requests. You can only read the requests that arrive but not filter it

5. do vendors have their own login? do they need access to the admin?

For now the vendor access to the admin panel, but have a limited WordPress dashboard and can manage only their products.
In the future we can add a dedicated frontend dashboard.

6. can vendors do a bulk upload of their product data, like a csv file?

No, I’m sorry, it’s not possible.
