One of the most useful tools in organising how your users search for retailers in the store directory would be to group them into 'trades'. You can group your retailers based on 'Seller trades'. For example, if you have a marketplace for furniture, you'll probably have a number of retailers that promote services like furniture repair, or furniture making.
Adding a seller trade will only require two steps. The first one is to add your seller trade and the second step is to set-up your retailer under that trade.
Step 1: To start adding your seller trades, log in to the Admin portal and navigate to Sellers → Seller trades.
Once you get to the seller page just click on 'Add trade', add the name of the trade and click on 'Save'.
Step 2: Add the trade to your retailer's profile.
To add the trade to your retailer's profile, log in to the Admin portal and navigate to Members → Member database and search for your retailer. Once your search results appear, click on the edit icon.
Update the trade under the account management section and hit update account at the bottom of the page.
Once the trade has been added, the retailer can now be filtered under that particular category/page on your store directory.
