Multi-Vendor Marketplace for Shopify is here with another featured app called Seller Time Slot Management.

Purpose of the app: Using this feature app seller and admin can manage opening and closing time for the seller's store. This is a great way to make your customers aware of the seller's availability.

Pricing: This feature will have an additional charge of USD 5 per month over & above your current Multivendor Marketplace plan charges.

Caution: In case the admin changes the time zone, then he has to manually update the time slots of every seller.

Let’s move on to the installation & configuration process!

Enable the following app by visiting:

• Multi-Vendor Admin Panel
• From the Dashboard, there are the three dots on the top-right of the page
• Click on Feature Apps
• Search for ‘Seller Time Slot Management‘ & click on ‘Enable‘
• After accepting the charges, you’ll be good to configure the app!

To make this feature display on the frontend, the admin needs to paste a few codes.

If you are having trouble while updating the codes, let us know by emailing at shopify@webkul.com or creating a ticket for the same at Webkul UV Desk. We’ll do it for you!

For this, visit Multivendor Admin Panel > Configuration > Time Slot Configuration.

Enable the first tab to allow your marketplace sellers to create their store's time slots. Next, mention the maximum number of time slots that a seller can create for a day.

The admin can add time slots on the behalf of the sellers by visiting:
Multivendor Admin Panel > Sellers > Sellers Time Slot > Add Time Slot.

On the redirected page, add the seller email and start filling the slots as per the weekdays. Each slot will have an opening timing & a closing timing.

The slot timings that you'll enter for a weekday will be auto-entered for the rest of the days. In case you want to remove for the other days simply click on the day label. Lastly, activate the time slot & save the details.

Coming back to the Multivendor Admin Panel > Sellers > Sellers Time Slot page. Here you can edit or delete the saved slots again:

The seller can add time slots by visiting:
Multivendor Seller Panel > Profile > Time Slot

Add the details as we did on the admin end and save the changes.

This is how the frontend will look like:

Store Opened

Store Closed

This is how the seller listing page will look like:
