🚀 Overview

This add-on upgrades TLCommerce from a single-store system into a dynamic vendor marketplace similar to Etsy, Amazon Marketplace, and Shopee.
Vendors can upload products, track orders, customize store settings, and manage inventory, while the platform owner earns commissions from sales.

Experience-driven architecture: Designed following proven marketplace workflows—seller onboarding, product moderation, automated commission distribution, settlement cycles, and vendor analytics—to support small and large-scale eCommerce ecosystems.

• Order & Fulfillment Panel — order updates, status flow, printing invoices & packing slips.
