Hi
I'm looking for a best practice on how to set characteristics for vendors?

E.g.
Lets say my vendors are computer stores. Some of them is online only and using my market place only as their online shop. Others, both have online shop and physical store located on address, where customers can show up and pick up their products. Where the online shop only send products by post order, you cannot show up at address picking up your products.

I would like to show that as icons, banners or descriptions, etc. on vendors lists, vendors pages, etc.

What would be the best practice to achieve this? Is it using optional Custom Fields on Vendor (address.plg) or did I miss a better way to do this?

Best regards,
Henrik

Hi,

Vendor custom field will be the most appropriate.
Your vendors will be able to configure their "settings" in their vendor profile and you will be able to display the information in their product pages.
In the product views, you will have access to the vendor object ( $this->element->vendor or $this->row->vendor depending the context) and in that object you have a direct access to the value of the vendor custom fields.
