Vendor Onboarding Guide
Complete manual detailing how to configure your account, verify your payout routing, and navigate the Purple Soul Seller Central dashboard.
Important: Accounts must pass geo-origin verification audits before products will be cataloged publically for buyers.
1. Account Configuration & Verification
- Complete your multi-step registration on the storefront matching your path (Artisan, Cooperative, Monastery, etc.).
- Log into the Vendor Dashboard using the passwordless SSO link in the footer.
- Upload proof of identity or business registration documents to begin the verification review queue.
- Once verified, a regional heritage coordinator will schedule a quick video validation audit of your workshop environment.
2. Setting Up Payouts (Stripe / Bank Wire)
- Navigate to Payout Settings in your seller dashboard.
- Click 'Connect Stripe' to setup your Express account (no second password required, uses SMS verification).
- Artisans in unsupported Stripe countries can input local bank wire (IBAN/Swift) details for bi-weekly manual payouts.
- Commissions are automatically deducted: 5%-8% for individual artisans, 8%-10% for workshops, and 5% flat for monasteries.
3. Dashboard Analytics & Gaps
- The main dashboard panel outlines live traffic metrics, wishlist counts, and top-selling collections.
- Consult the Live Opportunity Feed inside the dashboard to view direct buyer queries and custom registry items.
