How To: Allow Vendors to Create/Edit Orders

Warning

This article is no longer supported and will not work in newer versions of Multi-Vendor.

Vendors can’t edit orders in Multi-Vendor by default—this restriction protects the store owner from dishonest vendors. If you trust a vendor, you can extend their rights in 4 easy steps.

Step 1. Download the Modified File

The vendor_multivendor.php file contains information about the rights of vendors. For your convenience we created 2 modified versions of this file. Choose the version that meets your requirements:

Step 2. Rename the Downloaded File

Rename the file you have just downloaded to vendor_multivendor.php.

Step 3. Replace the Original File on Your Server

Find the existing vendor_multivendor.php file on your server. The path to the file should look like this: /app/schemas/permissions/vendor_multivendor.php

Replace it with the file you downloaded and renamed.

Important

Remember to make a backup of the original vendor_multivendor.php. You’ll need it to revert the changes.

Step 4. Assign a Vendor to Administrators Group

In the Multi-Vendor admin panel go to Customers → Vendor’s administrators →<Vendor’s name> → User groups. Then change the vendor’s status in the Administrators group to Active.

Assign a vendor to the Administrators group.
