Open Shop Information

The admin panel is where the platform operator runs the marketplace. It lives under B2B Marketplace in the admin sidebar and covers suppliers, roles, attributes, reviews, chat, flags, products, categories, requested quotes, orders, and transactions. Let’s walk through each area.

Supplier Management

The Suppliers screen lists every registered supplier with its approval status, company URL, creation date, flag count, and quick actions. From here the admin can approve or reject a supplier, add products to a supplier, edit the profile, and even log in as the supplier. This single screen is the hub of marketplace governance.

Editing a supplier opens the full profile form: general information, company details, SEO metadata, profile images, supplier role, operational and corporate addresses, social links, and more.

Supplier Roles

Supplier roles let you control permissions inside the supplier panel. Consequently, you can keep some suppliers restricted to catalog-only access while granting full permissions to trusted partners. The package ships with an Administrator role that has full access.

Supplier Attributes

The supplier attribute system is EAV-based, just like products. The package seeds 39 attributes — first name, last name, email, social links, and more — with types, required/unique flags, and locale/channel options. Furthermore, admins can create new attributes, edit them, and manage attribute-group mapping.

Supplier Reviews

Reviews submitted by business buyers are moderated here. Each review shows the customer, supplier, rating, and comment, with an Approved/Unapproved status so only vetted feedback appears on the storefront. In this way, the platform keeps public ratings trustworthy for everyone.

Supplier Chat

The admin and each supplier share a conversation thread.

Admins can send announcements, answer questions, and discuss approvals directly from the Supplier Chat screen, which means onboarding and support happen in one place.

Supplier Flags and Reasons

Buyers can flag a supplier. Flags land here with the buyer’s reason, and the admin can review them. Flag reasons are managed as a separate reusable list.

Products and Product Flags

The Products screen aggregates every product across all suppliers.

The admin sees price, quantity, product type, flags, and the owning supplier, and can approve or delete each listing.

For example, our demo assigns 30 catalog products across the three suppliers.

Product flags work like supplier flags — buyers report issues with a product (for example “wrong wattage” or “minor surface scratches”), and the admin can act on them accordingly.

Supplier Categories

The admin assigns which catalog categories each supplier is allowed to operate in. This feeds the buying-leads matching and the supplier settings categories screen.

Requested Quotes

Every RFQ posted by a buyer is visible here with the customer, the assigned supplier, attachments, total products, total price, product name, sample image, and quote status. Additionally, the admin can download quote images and attachments for reference or audit.

Orders and Pay-Out

The B2B orders screen is the money screen. For every marketplace order it shows the order status, paid amount, remaining amount, commission, supplier total invoiced, billed-to customer, and the supplier. When a supplier is due, a Pay button appears.

The payout is always recomputed server-side as base_supplier_total_invoiced − already paid, so the admin can never over-pay. Hence, already-paid orders show as Already Paid.

The regular order view also surfaces the B2B breakdown. Order B2B-0000001 below shows a $10,900.00 grand total split into a $10,355.00 supplier amount and a $545.00 admin commission (5%).

Transactions

Every payout is recorded as a transaction — supplier name, supplier ID, transaction ID, comment, and total. In the demo you can see the payout for B2B-0000001 (Aaron Steel, $10,355.00) and for B2B-0000003 (Maria Gomez, $2,185.00).

Suppliers log in at /supplier/login and land on their own dashboard. The demo supplier, Aaron Steel of SteelWorks Industrial, has two orders worth $14,400.00 total, two customers, a $7,200.00 average order value, and a stock-threshold list that warns about low inventory.

Product Catalog

Next, the catalog screen lists the supplier’s products — 12 for SteelWorks in the demo — with price, quantity, approval and active status, and ownership. From here the supplier can add a new product, assign an existing master-catalog product, or edit price/inventory/images.

Creating a product opens a full form with pricing, inventory, images, and marketplace fields, while editing an assigned product lets the supplier manage its selling price and stock.

Orders, Invoices, and Shipments

Supplier sales are fully scoped to the supplier. SteelWorks sees two orders — B2B-0000001 and B2B-0000002 — each with its own invoices and shipments. Depending on configuration, the supplier can create invoices and shipments for its own orders.

The order detail page shows the commission breakdown clearly — the supplier sees its own total supplier amount and the admin commission on the same screen.

Customers and Transactions

The Customers screen shows every buyer who ordered from this supplier with their total spend, and the Transactions screen lists each payout the supplier has received.

Buying Leads

The Buying Leads board shows open RFQs that match the supplier’s stocked products and allowed categories. In the demo, SteelWorks sees two leads from John Carter of Acme Corp — one for upright racking frames and one for wire decking — each with a quantity, expected price, category tags, and a Send Quote button.

Request For Quote

The RFQ screen organizes every request line into tabs — New, Pending, Answered, Confirmed, Rejected. In the demo, SteelWorks has 1 new, 1 pending, 1 answered, and 2 confirmed items, each showing the buyer, product, sample image, quantity, and requested date. That gives you a realistic sense of the workflow at every stage.

Opening a request shows the full buyer context — quote summary, expected total, quantity, expected price, and whether samples are required — with a Send Quote action to reply. Finally, the send-quote form captures the actual offer details.

The send-quote form captures quote quantity, unit price, sample availability, shipping time, and a note for the buyer — everything needed to turn a lead into an order.

Reviews and Messages

Suppliers see the reviews they have received, keep two message threads (one with the admin, one with customers), and reply from the same screens.

Settings

The supplier settings area covers profile, verification, password, and categories. The profile tab manages the storefront identity (banner, logo, company info, addresses, policies, SEO, social links), and the categories tab shows the categories the admin has allowed this supplier to operate in.

Supplier Registration and Login

Suppliers register at /supplier/register and log in at /supplier/login. Registration captures the supplier’s identity and company details; whether the account goes live immediately or waits for admin approval depends on the approval-required configuration.

Supplier Public Profile

Similarly, each supplier has a public profile at /shop/<url> (path mode) that shows the verified badge, rating, review count, address, member-since date, response time, and the full product catalog with filters. SteelWorks Industrial shows a 4.5 rating from 2 reviews and 12 products, which is a great example of how rich these pages can be.

The profile page also hosts tabs for About Company, Quick Order, Request For Quote, Reviews, and Contact. The reviews tab surfaces the moderated buyer feedback with ratings.

Business buyers can add products to the cart, and for marketplace items they can use Login For RFQ to negotiate wholesale pricing instead of buying at list price. In other words, the storefront serves both immediate purchases and negotiated bulk deals.

To see how all the pieces work together, here is the complete end-to-end workflow the B2B Marketplace package enables, using the seeded demo data:

1. 1. First, a business buyer (John Carter of Acme Corp) posts an RFQ for warehouse steel shelving with quantity expectations.

1. 1. Next, the RFQ becomes a buying lead on the boards of suppliers who stock the requested products (SteelWorks sees 2 matching leads).

1. 1. SteelWorks then opens the request and sends a quote with quantity, unit price, shipping time, and a note.

1. 1. After that, the buyer approves the quote; the approved lines convert into a marketplace order (B2B-0000001, $10,900.00).

1. 1. The platform records the invoice and shipment, and then the admin pays SteelWorks from the B2B orders screen.

1. 1. Finally, the payout of $10,355.00 is computed after the 5% admin commission of $545.00 and stored as a transaction visible to both admin and supplier.
