## Vendor Documentation for Dokan Multivendor Marketplaces 

weDocs now integrates with Dokan, the most popular multivendor marketplace plugin for WooCommerce. Mark any document as Vendor Documentation and display it right inside the Dokan vendor dashboard, so your sellers get a dedicated knowledge base built just for them.

Instead of answering the same questions over and over, give your marketplace vendors self-service docs for onboarding, store setup, marketplace policies, shipping, and payout information. Vendor documentation stays separate from your customer-facing help center, so each audience finds exactly what it needs.

* Mark any doc as vendor-only with a single click
* Show vendor docs inside the Dokan vendor dashboard
* Organize vendor onboarding guides, store guides, policies, and payout info
* Reduce repetitive vendor support requests with self-service documentation
* Works with the free version of weDocs and Dokan (mark one vendor doc free, unlimited with Pro)

## weDocs Pro Allows You to Create a Professional & Advanced Knowledge Base

weDocs Pro unlocks advanced tools for businesses that need deeper customization, team collaboration, and AI-driven support.

– **[Advanced Customization for Assistant Widget](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/assistant-widget/)**: Style, reposition, and customize the assistant widget.

– **[AI Chatbot](https://wedocs.co/ai-chatbot/)**: ChatGPT-powered bot that answers questions based on your documentation and suggests relevant articles.

– **Table of Contents:** Auto-generated ToC for long documentation pages.

– **[Floating Contact Form](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/assistant-widget/assistant-widget-for-product-knowledgebase/)**: Allow users to send quick support messages through a built-in floating contact form.

– **Privacy Settings:** Restrict visibility to selected users or roles.

– **[Role-Based Permission Management](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/permission-management/)**: Control access and edit rights for specific documents.

– **[Pre-Built Layouts & Styles](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/theme-and-styles/)**: Choose from multiple templates and design styles without coding.

– **[Docs Duplicator](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/doc-duplication/):** Clone entire documents or structures with one click.

– **[7-Layer Hierarchical Article Creation](https://wedocs.co/docs/permission-management/multi-layer-7-level-doc-structure/):** Great for extensive product documentation.
