What does BuddyPress add to your multi-vendor site? #
BuddyPress added to your marketplace site will allow your Store owners to sell their products on their BuddyPress social media profile.
Configuring BuddyPress from the admin dashboard #
To allow store owners to sync their stores with their BuddyPress profiles and start selling, the admin needs to follow these steps:
- Locate the BuddyPress module and enable it.
- Install and activate the BuddyPress plugin.
- Navigate to MultiVendorX → Modules → Integration from the WordPress dashboard.
Once BuddyPress is configured in the admin dashboard, profiles will be automatically created for all store owners on the site.
BuddyPress from the Store Owner’s dashboard #
Once all store owners’ profiles are synced with BuddyPress, they can navigate to their BuddyPress member page. Under the Shop section, the products from their respective stores will be listed individually.
