If you want this dashboard to function properly you need to assign this page in the Dokan settings page.

Navigate to Dokan → Settings → General.
Under Site and Store Page Settings, locate the Dashboard option.
Select the newly created page where you have used the “dashboard” shortcode” from the dropdown and Save Changes.

As Dokan prevents multiple asset loads to optimize performance. If the page is not assigned properly, it may result in design breaks or missing styles. Save the settings and clear your cache if necessary.

If you don’t assign the dashboard page to the Dashboard, the vendor dashboard may not load correctly, and console errors might appear.

Finally, publish your page & check if it has created what you were looking for or not.
