6. How can the seller handle delivery management?

Sellers should be informed in advance about the pricing plan of the admin for shipping. For this, we suggest that you plainly show on a committed “Transportation” page the complete list of all shipping alternatives accessible to your marketplace. For every shipping technique, list out the material cost and the delivery conditions (minimum order value/quantity, delivery time, the geographical regions involved, and so on)
This allows vendors to modify their minimum order values as per the delivery techniques accessible and their respective expenses.
When making their offers, merchants can pick and choose their convenient shipping method which they wish to apply for their products.
A default shipping mode is consistently accessible for all promotions to empower better management of multi-cart.
