Hello, we are very interested in acquiring a multi vendor license, however we would like to know if the CS Cart Multi Vendor version includes the ability of handling all vendors as hidden. (Just as if our site was one big store and we were selling all the products ourselves). So that vendors would post their products, we authorize them, they can see what have they sold and everything as usual, but for the user it would appear as if everything was being sold by us.
If I understand you correctly, it is very simple. Just disable the Settings -> Vendor -> Vendors per page setting and remove all blocks with vendors in the block manager. There can be several pages where the vendor is displayed, but they can be removed without any problems.
Note that if you buy license from our company, we offer discount on the custom development services. This modification can be made within the provided discount.
Feel free to contact us

Hello Oscar,
We have developed similar functionality recently.
You can test it on our demo server at http://mabramov.simtechdev.net/multivendor/
You can log in to the admin panel http://mabramov.simtechdev.net/multivendor/admin.phpusing the following credentials: E-mail admin@example.com Password: admin
This test product ( http://mabramov.simtechdev.net/multivendor/apparel/mens-clothing/nike-chambray-super-runner-mens-jacket/ ) is assigned to vendor ACME Corp but there is no information about the vendor in the customer area.
Also you can log in to the vendor area ( http://mabramov.simtechdev.net/multivendor/vendor.php ) using the following credentials
E-mail: vendor_ace@example.com
Password: vendor
Please check this functionality and let me know the results.
But doesn't the customer still see N orders (one per vendor)?

Yes, the customer will see N orders but from the main store.
