Vendor registration through social networks
The add-on lets new vendors register on a marketplace through a social network. When a new user account is created, it creates a company and links the vendor to it. Separate capabilities support registration, sign-in and company data access for a connected external application.
What it is for
The add-on is intended for marketplaces that want to offer prospective vendors registration through a familiar social network. The company is created along with the new account, so an administrator does not need to link them manually. External application capabilities allow vendor profiles to be used beyond the storefront.
Key features
- New vendor registration through providers configured in the standard social login add-on.
- Automatic creation of an active company and a linked vendor account during social registration.
- Buttons for active social providers in the storefront sign-in form.
- Registration, sign-in, password changes and password recovery for a connected external application.
- Access to a company list and individual vendor details from an external application, including selected additional profile fields.
How it works
A visitor selects an available social network in the sign-in form and completes authentication. When a new user is created, the add-on creates an active company and links the vendor account to it. If no company name is provided, the email address is used. This scenario requires the standard social login add-on to be configured.
Registration from an external application is a separate process: it follows the marketplace settings for vendor applications and two-step approval. The application must be integrated with the add-on; the add-on does not provide a ready-made application interface. Extended vendor data capabilities require the relevant profile fields and related project add-ons.
