City-Based Seller Order Restrictions in Multi Vendor Marketplace

 In a multi-vendor marketplace, managing seller-specific product availability based on the customer's city is a common requirement. Here’s how you can implement this effectively!

Scenario:

• The client has product templates, and multiple sellers are selling the same products.

• Each seller operates from a specific city and can only fulfill orders within that city.

1. Seller Location and Product Availability:

   • Seller A is located in City A and can only deliver to addresses in City A.

   • Seller B is located in City B and can only deliver to addresses in City B.

   • Seller C is located in City C and can only deliver to addresses in City C.
     
     

2. Order Restriction Logic:

• When a customer places an order, the system checks the delivery address.

• If the customer's address city matches the seller's city, the order is allowed.

• If the customer's address city does not match the seller's city, the order cannot be placed.

Example:

• A customer can purchase a product from SellerDelhi only if the delivery address is in Delhi.

• A customer can purchase a product from SellerMumbai only if the delivery address is in Mumbai.

• A customer can purchase a product from SellerBangalore only if the delivery address is in Bangalore.
  
  

Implementation Consideration:

• Ensure the address validation logic runs during the checkout process.

• Prevent order placement if the customer’s address region and seller’s operating region do not match.

• This ensures that sellers receive orders only from customers in their designated delivery areas.

By applying this city-based order restriction, you streamline logistics and improve the local shopping experience, ensuring efficient deliveries and satisfied customers.
