This Guide is dedicated to letting you aware of all the new updates of the Seller menu of the Multi-Vendor Marketplace App for Shopify. Please keep following and tracking the Seller Updates to know about all the updates in the app.

Have a look at the newly introduced and updated features of the Seller menu of Multi vendor Marketplace app for Shopify:

When a new seller gets registered to your marketplace, it creates a seller handle for the particular seller profile page that is same as the seller name. Suppose your seller name is “Test Vendor”, a seller profile page link will be created for that seller with seller handle “test-vendor”.

By default, the seller name will be added as seller handle for respective seller. But, we have provided an option in the app through which you can update the seller handle for your seller profile page.

To do this, visit the Multi-vendor admin panel>>Configuration>>Seller Configuration>>Enable the Update Seller Handle tab>>Save.

Now, visit the Sellers menu>>Seller Listing sub-menu>>Edit seller>>Enable the Update Seller Handle tab and edit the handle>>Save changes.

This is how you can update seller handle in the app.

In the Multi-vendor Marketplace app, the customers will have the option to provide feedback to a seller from the seller profile page. Now, by default, the seller feedback won’t be visible until it is enabled by the seller. Once enabled, the seller feedback will appear on the seller profile page. It can later be disabled from the seller panel.

Now, you can restrict your sellers to disable the “Feedbacks received from the customers” i.e Hide the “Disable” option on the seller end.

Visiting the Configuration>>Seller Configuration menu, disable the tab “Restrict Seller To Disable Feedback”. And disallow sellers to disable the seller feedbacks.

As soon as you disable the above configuration, the sellers won’t get the option to disable the feedback from their respective seller panels.

TAB DISABLED i.e. Restricted sellers to hide the feedbacks received from the customers.

NO OPTION TO DISABLE FEEDBACK ON SELLER END

You can now restrict sellers to add products if the required details are not entered by the seller. These mandatory details include shipping details, payment details & seller’s account details.

So, to enable these restrictions in the app, you need to visit the Multi-vendor admin panel>>Configurations>>Seller Mandatory Steps.

From here, You can set the options mandatory for your sellers:-

1. SHIPPING DETAILS

From this option, you can restrict sellers to set at least one shipping method before they proceed to add the products.
You can restrict sellers to add at least 1 shipping method as default and add at least one shipping range.

2. PAYMENT DETAILS

Also, make the option mandatory for sellers to configure at least one payment method from the seller panel to receive their earnings.

Now, once you enable this option, the seller will be able to add products only after configuring a payment method from their panel.

3. SELLER “MY ACCOUNT” DETAILS

From here, You can set mandatory “My Account” fields for the sellers.

Please Note:- Before enabling these fields here, make sure that these fields are enabled from the “Seller Policy” (normal & advanced) and from the “Seller Form Customization” section of the app.

Thus, the sellers will be able to add products from their seller panels only after completing the above procedures (in case the admin has enabled these tabs & make these options mandatory).
