Single Product Multiple Vendor

1.Overview #

WCFM Marketplace also allows your vendors to sell products from other vendors by adding them to their own store. This feature is available by default in WCFM and it will take only a few clicks for a vendor to add products ( of different stores) to their store and customize it as per their needs.

The customers in turn will get to view all the vendors selling the product and compare prices from the product page. This will let shoppers buy a product with the best price available in the store.

In this documentation, we will discuss how to setup/configure the Single product Multiple vendor module for your store and manage it seamlessly.
