Multi-Vendor Marketplace for Shopify is here with another featured app called Seller Time Slot Management.
Purpose of the app: Using this feature app seller and admin can manage opening and closing time for the seller’s store. This is a great way to make your customers aware of the seller’s availability.
Pricing: This feature will have an additional charge of USD 5 per month over & above your current Multivendor Marketplace plan charges.
Caution: In case the admin changes the time zone, then he has to manually update the time slots of every seller.

Time Slot Configuration
For this, visit Multivendor Admin Panel > Configuration > Time Slot Configuration.
Enable the first tab to allow your marketplace sellers to create their store’s time slots. Next, mention the maximum number of time slots that a seller can create for a day.
Add Time Slots: Admin Panel
The admin can add time slots on the behalf of the sellers by visiting:
Multivendor Admin Panel > Sellers > Sellers Time Slot > Add Time Slot.
On the redirected page, add the seller email and start filling the slots as per the weekdays. Each slot will have an opening timing & a closing timing.
The slot timings that you’ll enter for a weekday will be auto-entered for the rest of the days. In case you want to remove for the other days simply click on the day label. Lastly, activate the time slot & save the details.
Coming back to the Multivendor Admin Panel > Sellers > Sellers Time Slot page. Here you can edit or delete the saved slots again:
Add Time Slots: Seller Panel
The seller can add time slots by visiting:
Multivendor Seller Panel > Profile > Time Slot
Add the details as we did on the admin end and save the changes.
Frontend
This is how the frontend will look like:
This is how the seller listing page will look like:
Note: Customers can filter online & offline sellers on the seller listing page.
Note: Checkout is not disabled for digital products. Moreover, if a cart includes products from 2 different vendors (one online & one offline), the checkout will be disabled with the message saying the particular store is closed.
