Vendor Dashboard

A well-designed vendor dashboard empowers sellers to manage their listings, track orders, monitor performance, and handle customer inquiries. It should provide detailed analytics and insights into sales, traffic, and customer behavior, helping vendors optimize their offerings.

A marketplace should prioritize a seamless and intuitive user experience, from onboarding to checkout. Key elements include search and filtering capabilities, product or service comparison, personalized recommendations, easy navigation, and a smooth checkout process. Ensuring a delightful customer experience is critical for driving conversions and repeat purchases.
