Guys to separate the customer registration form from the seller (vendor) registration form in Dokan Multivendor, you’ll need to implement a custom registration flow. Dokan by default uses a combined registration form with a “I am a seller” checkbox, but you can split this into two distinct forms with different URLs or tabs.

✅ Goal

• One form for customers only
• One form for vendors only
• Each with its own styling and role assignment

🔧 Method 1: Use URL Parameter to Separate Forms

You can modify the Dokan registration form based on a query parameter (e.g., ?role=vendor or ?role=customer).

1. Add this to your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'dokan_show_seller_registration', 'conditionally_show_seller_checkbox' );

function conditionally_show_seller_checkbox( $show ) {
    if ( isset( $_GET['role'] ) && $_GET['role'] === 'vendor' ) {
        return true; // show seller option
    }

    return false; // hide seller option for customer
}

2. Create Links to Each Form:

<!-- Link to customer registration -->
<a href="/my-account?role=customer">Register as Customer</a>

<!-- Link to vendor registration -->
<a href="/my-account?role=vendor">Register as Vendor</a>

Dokan will now hide or show the vendor checkbox based on the URL.

🛠️ Method 2: Create Two Separate Pages with Shortcodes

Step 1: Create Two Pages

• Customer Registration: Use this shortcode

  [woocommerce_my_account]

• Vendor Registration: Add custom logic to force vendor selection:

  add_action( 'woocommerce_register_post', 'auto_select_vendor_role', 10, 3 );
  function auto_select_vendor_role( $username, $email, $validation_errors ) {
      if ( isset( $_GET['vendor_register'] ) ) {
          $_POST['role'] = 'seller';
      }
  }

Step 2: Use Link

<a href="/register-vendor?vendor_register=1">Register as Vendor</a>

🧼 Optional: Customize the Templates

If needed, copy Dokan’s registration form template into your theme:

wp-content/themes/your-theme/dokan/global/seller-registration-form.php

Then edit it to create distinct forms or load different fields.

🚀 Result

• Visitors can register only as customers or only as vendors depending on the link they use.
• No need to rely on the confusing checkbox.
• You maintain a clean and focused registration UX.

Let me know if you want a redirect after successful registration or need to customize the fields per role then feel free to comment below.
