Deactivation flow from vendor dashboard #

To get started with the deactivation of a vendor account you need to follow the following steps – 

• Go to the vendor dashboard and from there go to the vendor profile management page. 
• There the vendor gets a button to deactivate his account. 
• After clicking the deactivation button, a prompt or box will appear, asking the vendor to provide a reason for deactivating their account.
• Once the vendor enters the reason and clicks the “OK” button, the deactivation request will be sent to the admin for approval.

Deactivation Approve/Reject flow from Admin dashboard #

Now let us discuss the deactivation Approve/Reject flow from the admin’s end – 

• The admin will receive a mail regarding the vendor account deletion and there he will also receive the link of the work board page from where the pending request can be shown. 

• Now under the Requested profile deletion section under the task board page of the work board submenu the admin can approve or reject the request. 
• By clicking on the ‘Reject’ option admin can reject the vendor’s account deactivation request.
• When the admin clicks on the ‘Approve’ button then a box opens where he gets two options before confirming the request of profile deletion.
  • Product draft – If admin selects this option and clicks on confirm the vendor account will get deleted and the products of that vendor will get saved as drafts in the products section. 
  • Product assigned to admin – If admin selects this option and clicks on confirm then the products of the vendor will be assigned to the admin. 

P.S – The vendor will receive emails regarding the rejection or approval of his request from the admin accordingly.
