My question is simple, perhaps 'dumb', so please bear with me.  If I setup HikaShop with HikaMarket I need to implement 2 different Registration methods - 1. for &quot;Customers&quot; (normal users) and 2. for &quot;Vendors&quot; (so they can setup their own products etc.  Can someone please advise me or point me in the right direction? Am I missing something simple? If I have only 1 Registration area then How can I differentiate the user as being either a Customer or a Vendor? Thanks again for taking the time to read and reply to my question.  Sincerely,  Edward C.")

(   www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...nfig&#95;market&#95;register  )  You can have a &quot;manual&quot; vendor registration where user ask to become a vendor. It use the HikaMarket registration process but this registration page allow to register for HikaShop and HikaMarket in the same time.  It means that you can have &quot;customers&quot; (which are not vendors) and &quot;vendors&quot; (which are also &quot;customers&quot;).  The other mode is the &quot;automatic creation&quot;. It means that HikaMarket will create automatically a vendor account for every HikaShop customers in your store (except for guest accounts). You can also add a joomla user group restriction, to just allow users of a specific group to become vendor (if you want to use a subscription system for example).  I hope it will help you to understand how HikaMarket works.
