What do sellers control on a Dokan site?
Dokan is a plugin for a WordPress site that uses WooCommerce. Sellers can work from their own dashboard. The operator can use a product status that sends new listings for review.
Start by deciding who creates the listing, who checks it and who can publish it. Keep the website operator’s account separate from seller accounts.
Do sellers request money or receive it automatically?
In Dokan’s manual workflow, sellers request a withdrawal and the operator handles approval. Automated payment modules use a separate path. Dokan lists its Stripe Connect module on Professional, Business and Enterprise.
Lite is available without a plugin fee. Budget for hosting and check the current license and payment fees for the exact setup. Check the chosen gateway and settings before relying on a payout schedule.
What happens after a seller requests a refund?
Dokan documents a seller request and an administrator review. A request or an order label alone does not establish that the buyer received money back.
Check the chosen payment method and its actual result. WooCommerce can export product data as CSV. For a move, check how you would keep seller associations, orders, withdrawal history and payment records separately.
