While adding /editing a product on the same page you will get an option to add variants (Both from Seller and Admin side).

• Will the products added to the Shopify store sync to the app automatically?

 Changes made on products from the Shopify Multivendor app will reflect them on the Shopify store but not vice-versa. If you make any changes in the products from your Shopify store then you need to import those products (Products >> Import Products) and then assign them to Sellers.

Hence, we suggest you add/edit/delete products from the Shopify Multivendor Marketplace app only.

To manage email configuration go to Multivendor Admin Panel >> Mail Configuration >> Mail Configuration

No, none of the 3 Multivendor Marketplace plans have such a restriction.

• How can the vendor keep a track of the payment to be received from the merchant?

The vendor can manage it from Multivendor Seller Panel >> Profile >> Payment Details

• Is it possible that the payment received from an order directly goes to the respective Seller and Admin account as per the defined commissions?

By default, the total amount goes to the Admin's account and then the Admin needs to transfer the Seller's amount from his side.

If Admin wishes to make this automatic, he just needs to activate the Automatic Payment Feature Apps i.e., Stripe Connect.
