CS-Cart Vendor Filter Add-on: Shop by Seller

Vendor Filter Addon for CS-Cart allows you to easily filter vendors on your store by creating custom filter fields.

The CS-Cart Vendor Filter Add-on lets you add filtering to the list of vendors on your storefront so customers can find sellers more easily. You create custom filter fields such as vendor name, code, or city, and enable the "Allow for Filtration" setting to make those filters available to shoppers. It is built for CS-Cart Multi-Vendor stores that carry many sellers and want to help buyers narrow the list, while also giving admins a faster way to organize and display vendor information. Note that it depends on the CS-Cart Vendor Filter Beta add-on, which must be activated first.
