Seller Selector

Seller Selector displays the number of sellers your marketplace has for each product. It enables users to compare prices from each seller and add the desired product to their cart.

Configuration

  1. Install the Seller Selector app to your store with the following command:
vtex install vtex.seller-selector@0.x
  1. Add the Seller Selector app to your theme's dependencies in the manifest.json as shown below:
"dependencies": {
  "vtex.seller-selector": "0.x"
}
  1. Add the link-seller block, exported by the vtex.seller-selector app, inside your product page (store.product template). When rendered, the block will create a link to the Seller Selector main page. For example:
 "flex-layout.col#right-col": {
    "props": {
      "preventVerticalStretch": true,
      "rowGap": 0
    },
    "children": [
      "product-name",
+     "link-seller"
      "product-price#product-details",
      "product-separator",
      "flex-layout.row#buy-button",
      "availability-subscriber",
      "shipping-simulator",
      "share#default"
    ]
  },

By declaring the link-seller block, a page containing all available sellers will be displayed automatically. However, you can configure the Seller Selector page layout, using props for each one of the blocks used to build it behind the scenes.

Advanced Configuration

Behind the scenes, the Seller Selector page uses the following default implementation:

{
  "store.sellers": {
    "blocks": [
      "seller-table"
    ]
  },
  "seller-table": {
    "children": [
      "vtex.store-components:product-name",
      "seller-simulate-shipping",
      "seller-head",
      "seller-body"
    ]
  },
  "seller-head": {
    "children": [
      "seller-head-cell#Seller",
      "seller-head-cell#Price",
      "seller-head-cell#Shipping",
      "seller-head-cell#PriceWithShipping",
      "seller-head-cell#BuyButton"
    ]
  },
  "seller-head-cell#Seller": {
    "props": {
      "title": "Seller"
    }
  },
  "seller-head-cell#Price": {
    "props": {
      "title": "Price"
    }
  },
  "seller-head-cell#Shipping": {
    "props": {
      "title": "Shipping"
    }
  },
  "seller-head-cell#PriceWithShipping": {
    "props": {
      "title": "Price With Shipping"
    }
  },
  "seller-head-cell#BuyButton": {
    "props": {
      "title": "Add To Cart"
    }
  },
  "seller-body": {
    "children": [
      "seller-row"
    ]
  },
  "seller-row": {
    "children": [
      "seller-name",
      "seller-price",
      "seller-shipping",
      "seller-price-with-shipping",
      "seller-add-to-cart"
    ]
  },
  "seller-add-to-cart":{
    "blocks":[
      "add-to-cart-button"
    ]
  }
}
Block name Description
seller-table Layout block that provides a table to build the Seller Selector page with other blocks. It is possible to build the page using three main blocks: seller-simulate-shipping, seller-head and seller-body (declared as children of seller-head).
seller-simulate-shipping Builds a form so users can add a postal code and then simulate the shipping costs to the desired address.
seller-head Builds a header to be used on the Seller Selector table. You can pass to it the seller-head-cell block as children.
seller-head-cell Defines a title for each column in the table header.
seller-body Defines the page main content. It is responsible for displaying all sellers' data in the table body.
seller-row Used inside the Seller Selector table to separate seller's data into columns. You can use the blocks listed below (seller-name, seller-price, seller-shipping, seller-price-with-shipping, seller-add-to-cart) as seller-row's children in order to provide all needed seller's data.
seller-name Displays the seller name.
seller-price Displays the seller price for a given product.
seller-shipping Displays shipping cost considering the sellers' data.
seller-price-with-shipping Displays the purchase final cost (shipping cost + product price).

Modus operandi

The Seller Selector app fetch seller's data automatically from the admin's Catalog . Behind the scenes, the blocks exported from the app use the product context in which they are inserted to identify the seller's data in the SKU registry. Based on this, they are able to display seller data without having to declare each desired seller in your theme.
