    Updated 17 October 2023

    Using Magento 2 B2B Wholesale Catalogue for Vendors, the seller cannot add or list their own products to sell. The B2B Wholesale Catalogue module will restrict the sellers from selling only admin products.

    The seller’s products will only be visible on the seller shop, profile, and collection pages.

    The admin can create various seller groups and assign them to sellers. Further, the seller group is created based on the attribute set and category.

    The seller can send product assign requests to admin only for the product that belongs to the attribute set and category which has been added in the seller’s group that is assigned to the seller.

    The sellers who do not belong to any seller group can send product assign requests for those products that belong to the default attribute set and category which has been set by the admin in the configuration
