How do I setup and use seller groups?

Seller groups allow you to restrict product visibility or apply price discounts for specific sellers

To apply product visibility restrictions or price discounts to groups of sellers you will first need to create a seller group. Then you will need to add sellers into that group, so that you can then apply your visibility restrictions or price discounts.

1. In Avasam, go to settings.
2. Click seller groups.
3. Click on add new group.
4. Give the seller group a name that will help you recall it's purpose.
5. Specify a discount percentage (enter 0 if no discount).
6. If you want to restrict the products that can be seen by members of this group, then click on the switch under product restriction to set it to yes (or green).
7. To make the group active, so it will affect the sellers you add to it, click on the switch under activate to set it to yes (or green).
8. Click save.
