    Hi,

    We found a bug where users can create stores similar to an existing one and the system fails to check them. This causes a problem since both stores with the same name can end up sharing the same store url.

    Ex.

    User1 -> registers: mystore -> /store/mystore

    User2 -> registers: mystore -> /store/mystore

    Both now uses the same store url

    Is there a way you guys can prevent the Store Settings in the dashboard to check if store or URL already exists so users couldn't end up sharing the same store URL?

    Thanks,

    Anthony

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for reaching out,

    Store URLs are supposed to be unique - MarketKing does check this during account registration and prevents duplicate store URLs from being created. You can see how this works here in our demo: https://www.loom.com/share/6d72b1fc0c2749aca179eec12732f71a

    The store URL cannot be changed by vendors from their dashboard or after registration - only the site admin can modify it after registration.

    However, the store Name (the store "title") is not set as unique, so it's possible for 2 stores to have the same title. But each store URL should still be unique and enforced.

    If the URL enforcement is not working correctly on your site, it would help if you could share a link to your site's registration URL so I can take a look and see what might be causing this.

    Kind regards,
    Stefan
