The 'Sotbit: Marketplace Standard' edition provides a supplier personal cabinet.

These features are available exclusively in the 'Enterprise' edition.

Sotbit: Marketplace Standard is a template that provides functionality for a supplier's personal cabinet. The solution enables management of marketplace interactions within a standard set of capabilities.

Supplier registration and moderation

To create an account on the marketplace, a supplier must complete a two-step registration process. First, authorization data is provided (email address and password), followed by registration as a partner. The fields for partner registration are configured by the marketplace administrator. All registration applications undergo mandatory moderation.

Supplier personal cabinet

Each seller has a personal profile where they can enter and edit their personal data as well as partner information. The set of fields in the user profile is configured by the marketplace administrator.

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, while providing access to 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 these items or reject them.

Reviews

The supplier's personal cabinet allows viewing customer reviews posted on products in the public section of the marketplace. Sellers can respond to these reviews directly from the cabinet interface.

Product Rating

The module enables automatic calculation of an internal rating for each product in the catalog based on configurable criteria. Evaluation parameters may include logistics type, sales volume, reviews, and the completeness of product card fields.

Excel import

To quickly upload a large number of products, suppliers can use file import from Excel. Users may upload data using the standard system template or a custom template.

Feed upload

The platform supports product upload via feed in one variant. The partner specifies a permanent URL through which the system loads products or updates prices and stock levels.

Operating modes

The solution supports three models for warehouse interaction and delivery:

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

2. FBS. Sellers store goods on their own warehouses. They pack the items themselves and transfer them to sorting centers for delivery to the end customer.

3. DBS. Suppliers store goods on their own warehouses. They pack and ship orders to buyers directly without using marketplace warehouses.

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

Marketplace warehouses

The functionality is available in FBO and FBS modes. It provides suppliers with reference information about all warehouses and order pickup points. This simplifies the process of delivering goods to the warehouse and receiving defective items back during returns.

In FBO mode, a specific warehouse is assigned to the supplier for inventory tracking. 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 prompt adjustments to the assortment.

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

Sotbit: Marketplace Standard – Supplier Personal Account

In FBO mode, the commission consists of two components: delivery and packaging fees. In FBS mode, only the delivery fee is charged.

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

The commission percentage is calculated based on product dimensions. The portal administrator can also set minimum and maximum commission 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 processed goods for both suppliers and buyers, unique barcodes have been introduced. Their activation is configurable via the administrative panel. To improve tracking accuracy, suppliers can view an enlarged barcode image and send it for printing.

Tracking number

Available in DBS mode. Tracking numbers are implemented similarly to barcodes in the Orders section. This functionality enables customers and suppliers to monitor order statuses using data from logistics companies.

The platform allows administrators to set the amount of payments withheld from sellers for providing platform services.

Vendors can conveniently track the history of all types of trading commission deductions in the Personal Account section.

Payments for product sales are made after each completed purchase. The commission amount is determined as a percentage of the sale.

A commission rule is a condition under which the seller pays the marketplace a specific percentage of the sold product or service value.

This edition allows creating an unlimited number of commission rules for product sales.

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 a fixed sum set by the administrator and applies solely to the main product.

The system supports the creation of an unlimited number of rules for calculating listing fees.

The 'Sotbit: Marketplace Standard' module allows configuring marketplace usage fees. The administrator defines the billing period. The fee amount is set as a fixed sum. Charges are deducted either immediately upon partner registration or on the first day of a new reporting period. The system supports creating multiple rules for different suppliers, but suppliers cannot independently select the marketplace usage period.

The platform enables product advertising through the use of tags and promotion tools.

Labels allow highlighting products with colored stickers bearing specific names, such as 'bestseller', 'new arrival', or 'promotion'.

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 promotion mechanism.

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

Partner promotions

The platform enables suppliers and partners to independently create promotions. Only one active promotion is allowed at a time.

Promotion statistics

Suppliers can view statistics for each of their promotions.

Suppliers can manage their personal account by topping up and withdrawing funds directly through the platform. The system displays the dynamics of the current balance changes and allows comparing these data with the financial transaction history to generate transparent reports.

VAT for suppliers

When setting a price in the product card, the supplier selects the applicable 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 final price calculated with 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 have arbitrary boundaries.

Suppliers can view all orders placed during this period, including their total amount, status, and data regarding shipment, payment, and cancellation.

Product sales analysis

The Sotbit: Marketplace Standard module enables the collection of detailed statistics for 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 data on product sales for two selected reporting periods (month or quarter) and compares them. The results are displayed as charts where each segment represents a specific product category. The supplier sees the percentage change in sales amount in the second period compared to the first.

If a partner encounters questions while working with the marketplace, they can submit a request that is immediately routed to the responsible specialists.

The marketplace features a built-in chat for direct communication between buyers and suppliers. All conversations are initiated by the buyer to prevent unwanted messages and maintain fair competitive conditions. Chat settings allow administrators to select the message format (text only or with attachments), define the level of buyer anonymity, and establish rules for storing correspondence.

The supplier personal cabinet displays correctly on any mobile devices and tablets, automatically adapting to the screen resolution.

The public showcase is generated using the ready-made 'Sotbit: Retail' template.

The main page of the Sotbit Marketplace Standard supplier personal cabinet features a modern design that ensures ease of navigation and high information density. The interface is designed to engage users and stimulate catalog browsing and order placement.

The central visual element is a banner, which serves as the optimal location for displaying information about promotions, discounts, and company news. Directly below the banner is the 'Recommended Products' block. Placing specific items in this block increases their visibility and drives sales of the most profitable positions at the current time.

The catalog is a sectioned list of products. It contains data for each item, including name, description, price, availability, article number, and other characteristics, which simplifies product search and selection for buyers.

The product catalog is a powerful tool for managing the product offering and enhancing the buyer experience. It also helps organize and control inventory levels.

A detailed product card is a page in an online store that provides detailed information about a specific product. It includes core data such as the name, price, photos, and description. It also contains additional details: product specifications, customer reviews, and information about 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.
