Vendor Applications

Route: /admin/applications ⚠️ NOT YET BUILT
Planned file: ayts-admin/app/(admin)/applications/page.tsx
Auth required: Admin

Missing Page

This page does not exist yet. The API endpoints are fully implemented but there is no admin UI to approve or reject vendor applications. This blocks vendors from being activated after submitting the onboarding form.

Purpose

Admins review vendor applications submitted through the customer-facing /vendor/onboard form. They approve or reject applications, which activates or rejects the vendor's store.

How to Build

1. Create the page file

ayts-admin/app/(admin)/applications/page.tsx

2. Fetch pending applications

// List all applications
GET /api/admin/applications?status=pending&limit=20&offset=0

// Response
{
  applications: [{
    id: string,
    userId: string,
    storeName: string,
    category: string,
    description: string,
    address: string,
    logoUrl: string,
    bannerUrl: string,
    status: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'rejected',
    createdAt: string,
    user: { firstName, lastName, email, phone }
  }]
}

3. Approve or reject

// Approve
PATCH /api/admin/applications/{id}/review
{ action: 'approve' }
// → Creates store, assigns vendor role to user

// Reject
PATCH /api/admin/applications/{id}/review
{ action: 'reject', reason: string }
// → Updates status, optionally sends rejection email

4. Add to sidebar navigation

In ayts-admin/components/sidebar.tsx (or equivalent), add:

{ href: '/admin/applications', label: 'Vendor Applications', icon: FileCheck }

Application Table Design

Column	Value
Applicant	User name + email
Store Name	Proposed store name
Category	Store category
Location	City + barangay
Submitted	Date
Actions	Approve / Reject / View Details

Application Detail Modal

When admin clicks "View Details":

• Store logo + banner image preview
• Full store description
• Contact info
• Operating hours
• Approve / Reject buttons with reason input

Status: Implementation Priority

Priority: HIGH — This is the missing link in the vendor onboarding flow. Without it, vendors who apply can never be approved.

Estimated effort: ~4 hours (UI only — API is complete)
