Creating Vendor Shipping options as vendors (v4 only)
Accessing the Vendor Shipping Options
After each vendor is approved in the Marketplace and created their Store Front and Sources, their Shipping Options can be created. Shipping Options are set up in Marketplace Management > Vendor Shipping.
Each vendor will only have access to their own Omnyfy Vendor Shipping options, and the Marketplace Owner is able to see all. In this grid, you can see: Name, Description, Type, Source, Vendor Name, Active and the Action button. A filter can also be used to find a specific Vendor Shipping.
To create a new Shipping option, click the Add New Vendor Shipping button.
