Brief Introduction #

MultiVendorX enables you to give your vendors the ability to create External or Affiliate Products. The concept of external products can be a bit tricky so listen carefully, external products are products available in the vendors’ stores but are not owned by them. Vendors earn a commission for the sale of these products by advertising them in their stores.
