Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-Vendor<\/a> allows you to create an online marketplace where multiple vendors sell their products on a shared storefront, and the root administrator regulates vendors\u2019 activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Multi-Vendor 4.3.1<\/strong>, we\u2019ve introduced a long-awaited feature\u2014the ability to make a fully featured vendor storefront. In Multi-Vendor 4.3.1, the vendor page looks similar to a vendor page on eBay or Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The New Look<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the previous Multi-Vendor version (4.2.4), customers could buy vendor products from the vendor page. But there was no way to search by vendor products, no product filters, and no single list of all vendor products. It took time to find the needed product on a vendor page. That\u2019s why customers tended to buy vendor products through a common storefront which had those filters and search capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Multi-Vendor 4.3.1, vendors create fully featured stores in a common marketplace. Customers see a list of all vendor products, product filters, and a \u201csearch by vendor products\u201d field on the vendor page. Customers can still buy vendor products through a common storefront, but now they easily find and buy vendor products from the vendor page as well. A vendor page in Multi-Vendor 4.3.1 looks like a vendor page on eBay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Vendor Locations<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Root administrators fill locations (Design > Layouts)<\/strong> with blocks. Blocks carry the content that customers see on storefront pages. To display content on a vendor page, root admins fill in a special vendor location<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the layouts video tutorial to learn more about locations and blocks in CS-Cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Multi-Vendor 4.2.4, there was only one vendor location\u2014Vendor account<\/strong>. We kept Vendor account in Multi-Vendor 4.3.1 and added a new vendor location\u2014Vendor store<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
