The supplier personal cabinet in the Sotbit: Marketplace Business system is designed for managing a seller's activities on the marketplace. The tool provides access to supplier account administration functionality.

Supplier registration and moderation

To create an account on the marketplace, a supplier must complete a two-step registration process. First, personal data for authorization is entered, including the email address and password. Next, the user registers as a partner. The fields required for partner registration are configured by the marketplace administrator. All submitted registration applications undergo mandatory moderation.

Supplier profile

Each seller has a dedicated user profile. In it, the seller can enter or edit personal data as well as partner profile information. The set of fields in the user profile is configured by the marketplace administrator.

Supplier statuses

The platform allows assigning a specific status to each supplier. These statuses serve as an entity for grouping suppliers into categories, which can subsequently be used to grant various privileges.

Access rights

The marketplace owner can assign access rights to individual suppliers or groups of suppliers.

The supplier dashboard enables tracking of key statistical indicators and sales dynamics through interactive charts. It also displays current marketplace news.

Products

Adding and moderating products, attributes, and categories

The platform allows partners to add their own products, attributes, and categories to the portal. Marketplace owners and managers can moderate this data by approving or rejecting it.

Reviews

Sellers can view customer reviews on their products posted in the public section of the Marketplace and respond to them in the supplier's personal account.

Product Rating

This feature enables the calculation of an individual rating for each item in the catalog based on configurable criteria. Evaluation factors may include logistics type, sales volume, customer reviews, and the completeness of product card fields.

Excel import

To quickly upload a large number of product listings, suppliers can use the import function from Excel files. For uploading, users may utilize the standard template provided by the Sotbit Marketplace platform or upload a custom template.

Feed-based upload

The platform supports data upload in two ways: specifying a feed URL or generating a token for feed upload via the API.

When using a feed URL, the partner specifies a permanent address. The system loads products and updates prices and stock levels based on this address.

Feed request via API

Each partner receives a unique token. Using this token, the accounting system (such as 1C) connects to the marketplace and transmits the full product assortment.

The feed can be used in two ways: by uploading a file manually or by sending a request via API in base64 format.

Operating modes

The solution supports various scenarios for warehouse interaction and product delivery:

1. FBO. The supplier sends goods to the marketplace warehouse. The platform independently handles order processing, picking, delivery, and returns.

2. FBS. Goods are stored at the seller's warehouse. The seller packs orders and transfers them to sorting centers for final delivery to the customer.

3. DBS. The supplier stores goods at their own warehouse, packs them, and ships them directly to buyers without using marketplace warehouses.

The system allows creating an unlimited number of logistics rules for different delivery types and product categories. Sellers can assign specific logistics rules to each product category.

Marketplace warehouses

The module operates in FBO and FBS modes. It provides suppliers with reference information about all marketplace warehouses and order pickup points. This simplifies logistics when sending goods for storage and handling returns of defective items.

In FBO mode, a specific warehouse is assigned to the supplier for convenient tracking of product stock levels. The option to select a primary warehouse is also available.

Own warehouse

In FBS and DBS modes, suppliers can create their own warehouses to gain full control over storage and inventory. This enables flexible management of product placement, ensures availability, and allows for rapid adjustments to the assortment.

To facilitate location identification, integration with Yandex Maps has been added. When a point is selected on the map, latitude and longitude coordinates are automatically inserted into the product card.

Commission Terms

In FBO mode, two commissions are calculated: one for delivery and one for packaging. In FBS mode, only the delivery commission applies.

Depending on the marketplace's operating mode, suppliers may be charged for storage and delivery. The Commission Terms page displays static information, but the rules for calculating these fees can be configured via the administrative interface.

The commission percentage is calculated based on product dimensions. The portal administrator can also set minimum and maximum limits for these values.

In DBS mode, no commissions are calculated because the supplier is responsible for storage, packaging, and delivery of goods.

Barcodes

This feature is available only in FBS mode. To facilitate work with listed items, unique barcodes have been added for both suppliers and buyers. The option to enable them is configured in the administrative section.

To improve tracking accuracy, suppliers can view an enlarged barcode image and send it for printing.

Tracking number

Available in DBS mode.

Tracking numbers have been implemented similarly to barcodes in the Orders section. This feature enables customers and suppliers to track order statuses using data from logistics companies.

The platform allows administrators to set the amount of payments charged to sellers for using platform services.

In the supplier's personal cabinet, the Personal Account section provides a history of all transaction fee deductions. Payments for sold goods are processed immediately after each purchase is completed. The fee amount is calculated as a percentage of the transaction value. A fee rule is a condition requiring the seller to pay the marketplace a fixed percentage of the product or service price. The system allows creating an unlimited number of such rules for selling goods.

Listing fee

Payments for product listings are processed only after the item successfully passes moderation and is added to the platform. The fee amount is set by the administrator and can be a fixed sum or a percentage of the product cost. The fee applies solely to the main product.

The system allows creating an unlimited number of rules for calculating listing fees.

Marketplace usage fee

Payment is collected during periods established by the administrator. The fee amount may be a fixed sum deducted immediately after partner registration on the platform or on the first day of a new reporting period.

The functionality allows creating an unlimited number of rules for marketplace usage fees. Suppliers can independently select the appropriate rule based on the usage period and cost.

The platform allows advertising products using tags and promotion tools.

Labels

Labels allow highlighting products with colored stickers bearing specific names. They enable marking items as bestsellers, new arrivals, or sale items.

Promotion

The Promotion feature allows partners to temporarily increase the position of their products in the catalog.

The edition enables the creation of an unlimited number of product advertising rules. This is achieved by placing special tags on products and utilizing the paid promotion mechanism.

The platform allows marketplace owners and their partners to create promotional campaigns and participate in them. A marketplace owner can launch a promotion for specific products or categories, after which partners can join. The edition allows a single partner to participate in multiple promotions simultaneously.

Partner Promotions

The platform enables suppliers and partners to independently create promotions. This edition allows for the creation of an unlimited number of promotions.

Coupons

The platform enables suppliers to create and issue coupons for their customers.

Promotion statistics

Suppliers can view statistics for each of their promotions.

Export statistics to Excel

The platform allows exporting all necessary promotion statistics in Excel format for further analysis.

Suppliers can manage their personal account by topping up and withdrawing funds directly through the platform. The system tracks the dynamics of the current balance changes and allows correlating this data with the history of financial transactions to generate transparent reporting.

VAT for suppliers

In the product card, the supplier sets the price and selects the VAT rate from the Bitrix directory. Available options include VAT 0%, VAT 10%, VAT 20%, No VAT, and others. On the public storefront, the system automatically displays the price inclusive of the selected tax rate.

Order Statistics

The platform allows tracking of order statistics for purchases made by buyers within a selected reporting period. The period can be fixed (week, month, quarter) or arbitrary.

Suppliers see all orders placed during this period, their total amount and status, as well as data on shipment, payment, and cancellation.

Product Sales Analysis

The Sotbit: Marketplace module enables the collection of statistics for individual product items. The seller specifies a reporting period and receives sales data for the selected time interval.

Final data is grouped by categories: the number of sold and cancelled items, as well as the total sales amount both with and without discounts.

Sales

The Sales tool collects product sales data for two selected reporting periods, such as a month or a quarter, and compares them. Results are displayed as charts where each segment represents a distinct product category. Suppliers can see the percentage change in sales amount in the second period compared to the first.

If a partner has any questions while working with the marketplace, they can create a ticket that is immediately routed to the responsible specialists.

The marketplace includes a built-in chat allowing buyers to ask suppliers questions directly. Dialogue initiation is always triggered by the buyer, which protects against unwanted messages and maintains fair competitive conditions. Chat settings allow selection of message formats (text only or with attachments), definition of buyer anonymity levels, and establishment of message retention rules.

The supplier's personal cabinet displays correctly on any mobile device or tablet, automatically adapting to the screen resolution.

Public showcase

The public showcase uses the ready-made 'Sotbit: Retail' template.

The main page of the Sotbit Marketplace Business supplier personal cabinet features a modern design that ensures ease of navigation and high information density. The interface is optimized to engage users in exploring the catalog and driving orders. The visual center of the page is dedicated to a banner, serving as the primary area for displaying information about promotions, discounts, and company news. Directly below the banner is the 'Recommended Products' block. Placing specific items in this section increases their visibility and boosts sales of the most advantageous products at the current time.

The catalog is a sectioned list of products containing details for each item, including name, description, price, availability, SKU, and other attributes to facilitate product search and selection for buyers. It serves as a powerful tool for managing product offerings, enhancing the buyer experience, and organizing inventory control.

A detailed product card is a page in an online store that provides comprehensive information about a specific product. It includes basic data such as name, price, images, and description, as well as additional details like product specifications, customer reviews, and information on delivery and return methods.

The public showcase of Sotbit: Retail automatically adapts to screens of any size, ensuring correct display on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers.

The Sotbit platform ensures comprehensive marketplace implementation and launch, providing a full set of necessary services.
