Seller Selector

Seller Selector displays the number of sellers your marketplace has for each product. It enables users to compare prices from each seller and add the desired product to their cart.

Configuration

  1. Install the Seller Selector app to your store with the following command:

_10
vtex install vtex.seller-selector@0.x

  1. Add the Seller Selector app to your theme's dependencies in the manifest.json as shown below:

_10
"dependencies": {
_10
"vtex.seller-selector": "0.x"
_10
}

  1. Add the link-seller block, exported by the vtex.seller-selector app, inside your product page (store.product template). When rendered, the block will create a link to the Seller Selector main page. For example:

_16
"flex-layout.col#right-col": {
_16
"props": {
_16
"preventVerticalStretch": true,
_16
"rowGap": 0
_16
},
_16
"children": [
_16
"product-name",
_16
+ "link-seller"
_16
"product-price#product-details",
_16
"product-separator",
_16
"flex-layout.row#buy-button",
_16
"availability-subscriber",
_16
"shipping-simulator",
_16
"share#default"
_16
]
_16
},

By declaring the link-seller block, a page containing all available sellers will be displayed automatically. However, you can configure the Seller Selector page layout, using props for each one of the blocks used to build it behind the scenes.

Advanced Configuration

Behind the scenes, the Seller Selector page uses the following default implementation:


_62

_62
"store.sellers": {
_62
"blocks": ["seller-table"]
_62

_62
"seller-table": {

seller-bodyDefines the page main content. It is responsible for displaying all sellers' data in the table body.

Modus operandi

The Seller Selector app fetch seller's data automatically from the admin's Catalog . Behind the scenes, the blocks exported from the app use the product context in which they are inserted to identify the seller's data in the SKU registry. Based on this, they are able to display seller data without having to declare each desired seller in your theme.

Customization

In order to apply CSS customizations in this and other blocks, follow the instructions given in the recipe on Using CSS Handles for store customization.
