Approve Accounts

API-Reference

To be on control with the quality/business logics of your platform is “Approval” feature. You can approve or disapprove. When you activate that feature, end business accounts may not be able to add listings until you approve them.

• Under the accounts list, you can find the all the accounts and their account status
• You can approve or disapprove accounts based on your compliance and other legal procedures.

Few example use cases:

1. You may want to verify whether an account is legit to avoid spam listings. Or even reject an account when there is an issue with the platform’s users.

2. You may want to do business verification like company details or bank verification internally, you can collect private informations on account level and then verify this informations before approving.

##Creating Account Attributes So now you have created categories as per your plan. You can configure different fields(Attributes) that need to be in account creation page apart from default config.

In the image,

1. Categories: You can find the 4 attributes as an example. And how they are configured only for specific category types. (Shop Govt registration no only for Govt. Registered shop category)
2. Operation Days Attribute: Operation days can have multiple values. That’s why you can see + sign to add values.
3. Attributes: A. shop registrations — mostly one number AND B. WhatsApp one number is sufficient. Both of them as they don’t have multiple values, they do not have option to ADD VALUES. We will see how they are configured on the next step.

Accounts > Attributes > Add Attributes.

• These steps lead you to create attributes as shown in the image.
• Currently, it shows how the “Shop Govt Registration No” has been created.
• You can make the attributes (fields to be entered) as optional or mandatory as well.
• And this attribute has been configured only for “Govt.Registered Shop.”

So, when you create attributes, you must need to select the type of attributes. Currently, we have 4 types of attributes and others will be released progressively.

##Adding attribute values

In the “Operation Days” Attribute values which is a multi value, you can find 7days we have added there. It can be used creatively in many ways.

##Auto approval having issues Q: I have enabled auto-account approval and listing approval, but the items are not approved yet

• For existing accounts, the configuration will not approve by itself. It needs to approve manually first and then auto-approve.
