FAQ

1. Will I be able to ask a potential seller for their CV? (I am assuming that if they are buyers, then they will not be asked for their CV)

R. Yes, indeed. The verification methods from Account Segregation are only for the ones that want to become a seller.

2. How will they send the CV? Attached doc or email?

R. Every user that tries to become a seller will be redirected to Account Verification page. There is where they upload their CV’s.

After the user has submitted their CV, the admin has to approve or reject every request manually

3. I don't understand 'LinkedIn Client ID'. Is that my personal LinkedIn Client ID? If yes, why do you need that? Can you explain what 'LinkedIn Client Secret' is and why it's needed?

R: Regarding the LinkedIn questions, is as with the CV’s submission. On the page ‘Account Verification’ they will login with their LinkedIn profile, so they confirm they are real users.

After they confirm, you will also have to go back to Users > Select user > Edit and approve or reject their request.

4. It says 'Requires CV or LinkedIn'. Is 'LinkedIn' here meaning that the potential sellers could share their LinkedIn profile page? Or does it mean something else?

R: The verification with LinkedIn is made by the site in itself. If you have it enabled, once someone tries to register on your page (or the existing buyers want to become sellers), they will be required to verify the authenticity through their LinkedIn profile. It will not be public.

5. Is that MY LinkedIn ID and Secret? Or is that the sellers details?

R: You can create an app here https://www.linkedin.com/developers/ as it has been indicated on the tutorial regarding WordPress Social Login so you do not need the paid version of it.

But if you have only the option 'Require LinkedIn' enabled the users can become sellers only if they have a LinkedIn account.

6. We don't receive notifications when a new user registered in the site. Others work well. The notifications are active for sms and email. What can we do?

R. When using the "Account Segregation" plugin, you have some other mail/SMS settings available.

Please find those settings on Admin > Notifications > Account Segregation > here are the emails/SMSs, where you find "(Admin)" it means that the email/SMS is for admin.
You will find there, notifications for new buyer registration, and new seller approval/rejection.
