Vendors are the businesses and sellers that operate storefronts on your platform. Each vendor has a profile that captures their business identity, contact details, commission agreement, location, and verification status. You manage all vendors from the Vendors section of the Meneja dashboard — viewing the full list, filtering by status, drilling into individual profiles, and onboarding new sellers.

​
The vendor list

The vendor list gives you a paginated table of every vendor registered on your platform. Each row shows the vendor’s business name, contact email, city, verification status, and active status at a glance.
