Hello,
I need some help with spmv.
1) Is there any way to combine products other than duplicating one by one for the vendor. Since my vendors will upload more products using the feed (there may be thousands of products) and need a way to combine positions in spmv. It would be great to combine products by gtin
2) I have enabled the function spmv, but when I go to the products category, all duplicated products are shown, how can I hide them and show only one product with a minimum price
3) How can fix seo for dublicated products. All dublicated products should have a canonical meta information for SEO in order not to index the duplicated product, and index, the original one:

Hi, thanks for getting in touch with us.
Our replies are inline with yours:-

>>> Using the GTIN number vendors can search for spmv products in vendor dashboard.

2) I have enabled the function spmv, but when I go to the products category, all duplicated products are shown, how can I hide them and show only one product with a minimum price

>>> The default flow is such that whenever a vendor searches for a spmv product all the products (belonging to that name) are being displayed in the Vendor Dashboard page, this is because it lets the vendors to choose which product they want to add.
If you want to modify this, then you need to do custom code here. Do you have any developer, so we can assist them accordingly.
Now are you referring to any other page?

Do you want to let vendor connect two SPMV product like this or admin will do that?

Thanks for the quick response
1) Thank you for showing me about this method of adding with GTIN, but it still turns out that you need to add each position one by one. Maybe there is a way to link products via csv import. Since when there is a very large number of positions, it would be very convenient to import products in bulk with a merge.
Or there is a way to create a global product and link vendors with price to it. I mean not to duplicate the product, but to create a product and attach vendors to it, this would also solve the third problem with duplicated content.
2) Thank you I have sorted out this issue
3) Yes about it. Duplicated products should have a link to the original product in the meta tag canonical. Admin will do that.

>> WooCommerce only lets you add one author per product, hence to assign multiple vendors for the same prodcut we have to create clone of the product and assign seperate vendors.

Now we simply map these connected products via a database.

Regarding the import flow, I am afraid that currently SPMV flow is not supported via CSV. But we do have a plan to add this in our frontend Manager. We are yet to decide development schedule for this.

3) Yes about it. Duplicated products should have a link to the original product in the meta tag canonical. Admin will do that.
>> We do connect the spmv products using meta key.
But may I know exactly what flow are you looking for this SEO Canonical?

Thanks for the reply.
I found a solution, but unfortunately this is a solution from another multi vendor plugin https://store.webkul.com/woocommerce-multi-vendor-price-comparison.html#customers .
It would be great if you took their solution as a reference, this solution is good because there is one product in the database, hence there is no problems with seo, and alose the issue of product reviews is also being solved.

@marokanec777, I have forwarded this to our dev team. They will take further decision on this.

Just to keep you posted, we also display prices offered by other vendors for the same product I the single product page under the More Offer Tab : https://watch.screencastify.com/v/Ii3VWZQFuE6X3TjgK5oX
