In the Basic configuration for Dokan, you need to set up the plugin and customize the settings per your needs. This includes configuring the payment options, shipping options, necessary Dokan settings, and the overall look and feel of the marketplace.
Here are the settings that we are going to configure in this doc:
- Enable Vendor Registration Form
- Permalink Setup
- Necessary Dokan Settings
- Customizing the Marketplace Layout and Design
- WooCommerce Settings
- Configure Payment Options
- Set up Shipping Options
- Configure Tax Settings
To get started with the basic configuration of Dokan, you will need to have a self-hosted WordPress website, Dokan Lite, a Dokan Pro plugin, WooCommerce, and a payment gateway account.
Once these requirements are met, you can install and activate the Dokan plugin on your website and begin the basic configuration process.
Below is the explanation of each step mentioned above.
Enable Vendor Registration Form
Dokan has integrated the Vendor Registration form with WooCommerce’s Customer Registration form.
By default, the Registration Form is disabled after installing WooCommerce for the first time. So, the form needs to be enabled manually by enabling the “Allow customers to create an account on the “My account” page” option from the WordPress Admin Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy screen.
