Basically you just need to add a link in your site’s menu to the Pro Dashboard url. That’ll be the page that has the pro dashboard shortcode [wcv_pro_dashbaord] on it.
The vendors click that link and are directed to the pro dashboard where they can begin adding products.
1. Go to: wp admin > appearance > menus
2. select a menu
3. add the pro dashboard page to the menu
Now vendors can easily access the Pro Dashboard.
We do have some setup guides here:

Some of the images are a bit outdated, but the process remains the same.
any other specific questions, please feel free to let me know and I will be glad to help.
