A comprehensive multivendor marketplace plugin for WooCommerce.

== Description ==

Kiikiis Multivendor Marketplace turns your WooCommerce store into a fully functional multivendor marketplace. Vendors can register, manage their own products, coupons, orders, and shipping settings, while site owners handle commissions, payouts, and vendor approvals from a single admin dashboard.

**Core Features**

* Vendor registration and application workflow with admin approval.
* Dedicated vendor dashboard for products, orders, coupons, shipping, and shop settings.
* Vendor-specific product, coupon, and order management scoped to each vendor.
* Commission system with configurable rates and payout tracking.
* Vendor shipping settings with flat rates, additional item rates, and shipping zones.
* Vendor shop pages with custom branding, banners, and shop slugs.
* Vendor analytics including product view counts and order reports.
* WooCommerce integration that respects vendor ownership and permissions.

The plugin is designed as a complete marketplace solution while keeping all vendor data and settings inside your own WordPress site.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or upload the ZIP via the Plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.
4. Use the `[kiikiis_vendor_registration]` and `[kiikiis_vendor_dashboard]` shortcodes to create vendor-facing pages.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin require WooCommerce? =

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active for the marketplace features to work.

= How do vendors register? =

Add the `[kiikiis_vendor_registration]` shortcode to a page. New users can create an account and submit a vendor application, which an admin can approve.

= How do vendors manage their products? =

Approved vendors can access the vendor dashboard via the `[kiikiis_vendor_dashboard]` shortcode or the backend vendor dashboard to add, edit, and manage their products.

= Can vendors create their own coupons? =

Yes. Each vendor can create coupons from their dashboard. Coupon codes are automatically prefixed with the vendor ID so they do not conflict with other vendors.

= How are commissions calculated? =

Site admins can set a global commission rate and view order-level commission breakdowns from the Marketplace Admin > Commission & Payouts screen.

= Can vendors set their own shipping rates? =

Yes. Vendors can enable shipping, set a flat rate for the first item, add an additional per-item rate, and define shipping zones.

= How do I display a vendor's public shop page? =

Use the built-in `[kiikiis_vendor_shop vendor_id="5"]` shortcode on any page or post. You can also use `vendor_username="johndoe"` instead of `vendor_id`. Vendor shops are also accessible via a URL slug (e.g. /vendor/shop-slug/). This is a free core feature — no Pro add-on is required.
