Installation
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- CS-Cart Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x. On CS-Cart (without Multi-Vendor) the installation is refused.
- PHP 7.2.5 – 8.3. File encryption needs the OpenSSL extension (enabled on almost every host) and the default local file storage.
- Optional: the core Vendor plans add-on (requirements per plan), our Vendor Onboarding & Registration Builder and Vendor Payouts Automation.
Install
Section titled “Install”- Go to Add-ons → Manage add-ons, click the + (Upload & install add-on) button and choose the add-on archive.
- The add-on is installed and active. Open its settings to enter your license key (License tab).
- Open Vendors → Vendor verification → Document types and check the five document types that were created for you. Change, disable or add types as you need.
- Vendors find the new Verification page in their vendor panel menu. Their dashboard shows a notice until they are verified.
- Optional: switch on restrictions in the add-on settings (Restrictions tab). They are off after installation.
- Optional: add the scheduled task to your cron (see Configuration).
Nothing changes on the storefront until a vendor is verified: then the Verified seller badge appears.
Upgrading
Section titled “Upgrading”Upload the new archive in Add-ons → Manage add-ons (or use the Upgrade Center when it offers the update). The add-on brings its database tables, settings and texts up to date by itself; document types, documents, levels and the audit log are kept.
Uninstalling
Section titled “Uninstalling”Add-ons → Manage add-ons → Vendor KYC & Verification → Uninstall removes the document types, all uploaded documents (var/custom_files/kv_vendor_kyc_verification), the levels, the audit log, the settings and the texts. Download the documents you must keep first. The vendors themselves are not touched, and restrictions end with the uninstall.
