How to create a vendor account and vendor specific products etc. . Example:

• Please register on our site http://www.catalook.net.

In the store settings you can choose if other categories, slots, product types and specifications of other users and admin users can be used by a vendor or not. Here you can create a new category or use an existing category. You can edit your own categories only.
• After that create a product. You can enter individually freight charges for your items.
• You will get a pending approval email. We will unlock your product and you can order this item. You can use the same user account or create a new or login with test/test.
