Impossible to login when a user does not complete the Seller on-boarding process

Nico

Does anyone encounter the following issue?

--> Anytime a Buyer clicks on the button "Become a Seller" and does not complete the full on boarding process, he/she cannot access his/her account after login out and login in again. 

The on boarding process happens anytime a Buyer clicks on "Become a Seller". He is then directed to his profile page that includes the 4 tabs: Profile, Address, Payment method and Delivery. If the user begins filling out these tabs without finishing (by clicking on the logo to go back to homepage for example), he is then treated as a Seller by the marketplace and seen as a Seller in the admin interface. This is source of 2 problems:

  1. This user can post listings although he has not connected any payment method to his account yet. Meaning that Buyers can attempt a booking without being able to make a payment.
  2. Once login out from its session, the user cannot login again. Any attempts to login fails systematically.

This issue is affecting my marketplace and I have not found any way to solve this so far.

Is anyone affected by this problem? If yes, what solutions did you find? Your feedbacks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi Nico, 

    Thank you for pointing the issue out! We are aware of the situation and have already fixed the issue on our backend. However, this fix would only go 'live' during the next push either at end of May or beginning of June! In the meantime, the fix would be to manually complete the onboarding process for your sellers by login into their respective accounts from your admin portal and clicking 'Save'. 

    We are aware that some of our users may have mandatory payment methods that would require you to log into your respective accounts for Stripe, Omise and Paypal. As such, we recommend making these payment gateways non-mandatory in the meantime for the purpose of completing the seller onboarding process for your users.

    I was having the same issue and was very frustrated because I had no idea what was causing it. I thought it was an issue with registration process. I am glad to hear it has been fixed now.

    Hi Lizz,

    Just fyi, as of today (June 4th), this issue is still outstanding. But it is my understanding that it will be resolved during the next monthly push that is scheduled for the coming days. We have to be patient until then... At least now you know what is causing the issue...

    --> Please upvote this topic above, so that it will remain a priority ;)

    Cheers,

    Nico

    Fyi, I have the impression that this issue has now been resolved 100% with the May push!

    Great! I am about to test mine this weekend. I am glad to hear it sounds promising. I would have had to go to another platform if this would have not been resolved.

    Is this still happening? I am getting users that get frustrated because they first create an account and plan to later fill profile and later they can't log in anymore. 

    I am also finding that I myself can't reset my own password for some of the test account I have, I reset and it gives me an error when I try to log in again. Also seems I can log in if I remember my username but not I don't, then the 'Reset password" does not work.

    This is a serious problem. How can business function with this basic technical features do not work?

    Hi Lizet,

    We apologise that you are facing difficulties using the platform.

    We did do a quick investigation on your complaints and our findings are as follows, also for the reference of everyone on this issue.

    Logging in without completing sign-up
    This issue has already been solved as of previous update, users who have no completed seller onboarding can still login to complete the onboarding, or even access other pages.





    Reset Password

    As seen below, the system can send a recovery email to the specified email OR username




    While we do understand someone may lose both their username as well, but with the email you should be able to recover them via the admin portal list.

    Also the reset password flow works, we have checked it 
    The first screenshot on this was the successful login we had after resetting the password.

    If you are still facing issues with this, log a new ticket in support and kindly tag me on it as well with my email below.

    Regards,
    Joseph

    I've also found that if you set your primary domain as a custom domain but it doesn't have an SSL certificate, then your vendors will not be able to login to your website at all. I had this issue and customer support was no help. I emailed them 4 times and got no response.
