Hi,
Is it possible to show the products within a custom tab on buddypress profile instead of yoursite.com/[your_setting_here]/[vendor_name_here]?
If you created a tab that executed a do_shortcode with the right WC Vendors shortcode to show the vendors products, then yes!
BuddyPress has a number of functions to get the members username you are using, and that would be the username you would want to plug into the WC Vendors Shortcode.
If you get this to work, write up a quick HOWTO and we’ll toss it in the KnowledgeBase for all to use.

Hi @MrNeko
This is actually very easy possible with the WooCommerce BuddyPress Integration Plugin.
I’m creating a demo in the moment where I use WooCommerce BuddyPress Integration and BuddyForms together with WooCommerce and WC Vendors to bring the product creation and Vendors Dashboard into the Members Profile.
The demo is not ready 100%. I haven’t promoted it jet but I like to share it with you. I ask me the same question a couple of weeks a go 😉 It sill has some issue but it should give you a overview. Just klick on the “Marketplace with WooCommerce and BuddyPress” button under USE CASES on the right site.
If you visit a vendor profile you can click on switch user to see the Shop/Vendor Dashboard.

Hope it helps you. If you have any question, please let me know. I like to help.
Cheers,

SvenThanks for your suggestion sven. I will look into it.
By the way Ben, I was looking at this shortcode [wcv_products vendor=”VENDOR-LOGIN-NAME”] .. is it possible to automatically append VENDOR-LOGIN-NAME to the current vendor the visitor is viewing?
Yup! You can use something similar to what I use on my site, copy and paste as you see fit – and remember the do_shortcode with the button is for WooThemes themes that support the [button] code so you’d want to style that as you see fit.
I think I might have put it wrongly. My question was not related to buddypress. Sorry for the confusion. I have a shortcode from other plugin that I’d like to display on the vendor’s page ==> https://mysite.com/vendor/vendor-username/
By default it’s Vendor’s description followed by the products. I want to add a shortcode from another plugin that display the user profile before the products.
Which template/file should I modify?
I almost forgot. We included a few vendor header templates you’ll see by reviewing the “how to modify templates” KnowledgeBase article. There’s vendor-main-header.php you can modify — but when you do that make sure you check the box in wp-admin->WooCommerce->WC Vendors->Use Vendor Headers in order for it to load.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the help. When you mentioned vendor header templates do you mean these? Default: CSV Headers ($headers, $product_id, $items)
No. I mean the template php files that come with the plugin. They are in:
/wp-content/plugins/wc-vendors/WCVendors/views/
and in that directory…. /front/vendor-main-header.php
And make sure you check the box to enable the vendor headers to load in the WC Vendors settings on the admin page.
To edit and save the template files:

Hey Ben,
I have another question here and didn’t want to create another topic. I want to change Sold by: Shop Name to Sold by: Display Name .. where do I change that?
I want to simplify the settings so the shop name for my vendors will be their public display name ==> get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’)
Thanks,
ClementOops, I re-read your post. The filters will just change the “Sold by” text, not what comes after it.
You would have to modify the plugins core in order to do this, which means each time you upgrade you’ll have to change it again.
Hello,
I’ve added a github issue to add this functionality to core. You can follow the progress here.
