CS-Cart Follow Vendor And Category

CS-Cart Follow Vendor and Category allows customers to stay connected with their favorite vendors and product categories by following them directly from the storefront.

The add-on automatically notifies customers about new product launches, product updates, and back-in-stock items, helping them stay informed without repeatedly visiting the marketplace.

This feature enhances the shopping experience by delivering personalized updates based on customer interests.

It also helps marketplace owners improve customer engagement, increase customer retention, and encourage repeat purchases.

By enabling customers to follow vendors and categories, the add-on strengthens customer-vendor relationships and drives more traffic to your CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Marketplace.
