Dokan Elementor module allows the admins customize the global appearance of vendor store pages. However, this feature’s settings are only accessible by the admin.

How to Customize the Store Elements & Publish Them?
Just drag a store widget or element and drop it to anywhere you want with the Elementor editor. Here in this example, we have dragged the “Store Social Profile”.
After having the elements dropped, it will come into effect like this:
Fortunately, you will also be able to customize these elements like any other regular Elementor elements.
Here is a Dokan Elementor template after customization:
As you can see, we have customized the default dokan elementor template and changed their position and other properties.
You can also set a profile placeholder image and a banner placeholder image for your vendors so that your vendors can upload their individual images with ease.
However, if you change the color of an area of the elements with custom css, your vendors won’t be able to change them.
When done editing, hit the ‘UPDATE‘ button:
Next up, click on the arrow beside the ‘UPDATE’ button:
Now, you will have to hit the “Save as Template” option.
After that, you will get a pop up in which you will have to give a name and save the template:
Click on the arrow again:
Select the “Display Condition” option:
Next, you should see another pop up. Here select the “Single Store” option from the dropdown and hit the “Save & Close” button to finish the setup.
Now, all of your vendors will get to view your customized elementor template from their individual store:
That’s how you can use the Dokan Elementor module to customize the vendor store page.
