Auto-activate Sellers

Hello Lewis,
I don’t have any idea about the Gravity form. Is there a setting while registering the users to set their role? If yes, then you should be able to do it by setting the default user role to “Seller”.

Thanks for the reply,

Yep Gravity Forms has the option to select a user’s role, but after looking through the Dokan code, I have a question;

Is the option “Make selling status enable for new registered seller” a WordPress capability or is it user_meta?

“Make selling status enable for new registered seller” is a user_meta

Hey Pixeledmedia,

I’m trying to setup a custom seller registration form using Gravity Form’s User Registration also. Did you manage to get it to work?

In addition to getting the form to automatically active the seller, I’ve run into an issue with trying to set the user_nicename for the store url. user_nicename isn’t stored in user_meta, but in wp_user.

Hey Simon,

I have actually unfortunately managed to find a solution for this yet. If the seller permissions were actually WordPress capabilities instead of user_meta/wp_user then I could use the User Role Editor plugin to auto-assign capabilities for new sellers registered to my website without using the Woocommerce form that Dokan uses.

Hey Lewis,

Put the following in your functions.php file. Make sure to change the 1 in “gform_post_submission_1” to the ID of the gravity form you are using for user registration.

 add_action('gform_post_submission_1', 'marvel_update_dokan_enable_selling', 10, 2);
 function marvel_update_dokan_enable_selling() {
     $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
     $current_user_id = $current_user->ID;
     
     update_user_meta( $current_user_id, 'dokan_enable_selling', 'yes' );
     
 }

Thanks for that Simon,

It works perfectly, really appreciate it!

Hi guys,

Can you tell me which Gravity Forms plugin you are using? In the WP plugin directory there seem to be a lot from different companies.

I’m having the same problem: trying to make it so all my users can sell.

Thanks!
