PrestaShop Marketplace Seller Price Comparison {User Guide}

PrestaShop Marketplace Seller Price Comparison is an addon of the Marketplace module. By using this addon, the admin can create global products by converting store products into global products.

Sellers can assign single/multiple global products in any language to their shops with their own price, stock, description, image as well as can select the combination for the product. A new block on the global product page will display the list of all sellers selling the same global product. It will also contain details of the price and stock availability.
