Great news! WP VR now integrates with Dokan, making it easier than ever for vendors to add 360° virtual tours to their store pages. This means better product displays, more engaging customer experiences, and a competitive edge in your marketplace!
With this integration, vendors can create their own virtual tours without needing admin access. Each vendor manages their own tours, and they won’t be able to edit or delete tours created by others, keeping everything secure and organized.
Whether you’re selling real estate, showcasing event spaces, or offering unique products, WP VR and Dokan together make it simple to create immersive, interactive shopping experiences.
Let’s dive into how you can set it up!
Step: 1 WooCommerce Configuration #
To ensure proper functionality, adjust the following WooCommerce settings:
- High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS): If the HPOS feature is enabled, it restricts admin access regardless of Dokan’s settings. For detailed information, refer to WooCommerce’s documentation on HPOS.
Step: 2 Dokan Configuration #
To grant vendors backend access necessary for utilizing the WP VR plugin:
- Disable Admin Area Access Restriction: Navigate to
WP Admin Dashboard → Dokan → Settings → General. - Uncheck the option labeled Admin Area Access. This setting, when enabled, prevents users from accessing the WordPress admin area. Disabling it allows vendors to access necessary backend features. Checkout Dokan’s Official Documentation.
Step: 3 WP VR Configuration #
Enable vendor permissions within WP VR:
- Go to
WP Admin Dashboard → WP VR → Settings. - Enable the option: Allow Dokan Vendors of your site to Create, Edit, Update, and Delete virtual tours (They can access their own tours only).
That’s it.
By following these configurations, vendors will have the capability to access WP VR and create their own virtual tours, enhancing the overall marketplace experience.
