Vendor personal account on the storefront

The add-on opens a personal account for the vendor directly on the storefront. In this account the vendor works with their own products and orders through the familiar administration panel interface, without getting access to the admin panel itself.
What it is for
The add-on is intended for a marketplace that does not want to give vendors access to the administration panel, while vendors still have to manage their own products and process orders on their own.
The account opens only for an authorized vendor linked to a store, so outside visitors cannot enter it.
Key features
- a vendor personal account on the storefront;
- managing the products of the vendor's own store;
- working with the orders of the vendor's own store;
- access for the authorized vendor only: other visitors are redirected to the login page;
- automatic restriction of data to the vendor's store — products and orders of other vendors stay unavailable;
- keeping the vendor inside the account: navigation across products and orders stays in the account instead of leading to the admin panel.
How it works
The account opens on the storefront at dedicated addresses: one section is responsible for the vendor's products and the other for the orders. On entry the add-on checks that the visitor is authorized and linked to a store; otherwise it redirects to the login page.
For the account sections the add-on uses the standard administration panel interfaces, but automatically substitutes the current vendor's store. As a result, the vendor sees and edits only their own products and orders, while the work goes through the familiar tables, filters, and cards. The add-on also tracks navigation: links to products and orders inside the account stay in the account instead of taking the vendor to the admin panel.
The add-on has no separate settings — it starts working right after installation. The account is available to the vendor on the storefront, while the administration panel stays closed for them.
