Vendor Storefront Pro
Add-on ID: kv_vendor_storefront_pro · Edition: Multi-Vendor only · Latest version: 1.0.0 · Compatible with: Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 – 8.3 · Changelog: view
Vendor Storefront Pro turns the plain vendor pages of a Multi-Vendor marketplace into real shop pages. Every vendor gets a banner, a tagline, a story, highlights, shipping and return policies, business hours, social links, an announcement bar and a hand-picked row of featured products, edited in the vendor panel and reviewed by the marketplace if you want.
It works on every Multi-Vendor plan. Editing the blocks of vendor pages in the Block Manager is a Multi-Vendor Plus/Ultimate feature; this add-on needs no layout editing at all: the profile appears on the vendor store page and on the vendor’s About page automatically.
- Profile header on the vendor store and About pages: banner image, the vendor’s logo (or its initials), name, tagline, average rating and review count, location, “On the marketplace since”, social links and tabs to the products and the About page.
- About sections: story, up to six highlights with icons, shipping and returns policies plus two custom policies, business hours with an “Open now” note, location with a map link.
- Featured products chosen and ordered by the vendor, shown in the theme’s own product grid.
- Announcement bar with four styles, an optional link and optional start and end dates.
- Accent colour per vendor, with the text colour chosen automatically for contrast.
- Vendor panel editor with tabs, character counters and a signed draft preview; administrators can edit any profile.
- Approval (optional): vendor changes stay a draft until an administrator approves them; the approved version stays online meanwhile. Trusted vendors can publish directly. E-mails to the administrator and the vendor.
- Features per vendor plan: choose which sections each plan includes and how many featured products it may show.
- SEO: a meta description per vendor page from the tagline and story.
- Safe uploads: banners are checked, resized and saved again as clean images.
- Works with the 4.21 full page cache, Responsive, Nova and their style presets, Vendor Vacation Mode and the Block Manager.
