Overview
The CedCommerce Vendor Attribute Addon extension is basically an admin panel extension and
provides a facility to extract important information from the vendor about his/her profile as per
website admin’s requirements.
The Vendor Attributes are specifically used to provide the website admin a feature with which
various details can be dragged out from the vendor. These details may include Pan Card
Number, some Legal Information or any other information necessary for the website admin to
have.
This extension is dependent on the CedCommerce Marketplace extension and thus,
CedCommerce Marketplace should be installed prior to Vendor Attributes extension to ensure
proper working of Vendor Attribute extension.
