CS-Cart Follow Vendor And Category
Overview:
For the positive growth of a business, all the customers should depend directly and indirectly on goods and vendors. There should be a good relationship between customer and vendor. A vendor also needs to be loyal to the customers to maintain their relationship strong. A positive customer-vendor relationship begins with the initiative of the vendor, where vendors understand customer requirements and serve them according to it. Due to this relationship, a customer always follows a vendor in order to get new updates. To allow a customer to follow a vendor and category, “CS-Cart Follow Vendor And Category” add-on is developed.
Follow Vendor And Category add-on is used to make a customer follow a “Vendor” and “Category”. When a customer follows a “Vendor”, then he will get daily update about the vendor’s products like an update for a “New product created” and when an old product is “Back In Stock”. When a customer follows a “Category”, then he will get daily update about the products in a category like an update for a “New product created” of a category and when an old product is “Back In Stock” of a category.
This add-on shows “Follow Vendor” and “Follow Category” at product detail page, vendor page, and category page. A customer can follow and unfollow a category and vendor to get the daily updates.
