Activate Dokan

Dokan is available for free download at https://wordpress.org/plugins/dokan-lite/

WooCommerce is required to ensure that Dokan functions as intended.

Dokan is a freemium plugin, and for the purposes of this documentation, its lite version is deemed sufficient.

---

Configure Plugin

All available Dokan configurations can be found at https://dokan.co/docs/wordpress/

Avoid enabling the "Order Status Change" option, as it allows sellers to change the order status and control their own orders https://dokan.co/docs/wordpress/settings/selling-options/

Changing the "Vendor Store URL" to another slug is required to avoid conflicts with the default WordPress Author template. For example, you could use "my-store" instead.
