Overview of vendors and service providers, including their categories and roles, to help differentiate and classify them for better understanding and business decision-making for the visitors of our platform.
We have two categories of vendors on our platform: The general vendors, who have liked our platform and decided to showcase their products on it. The other category is the ones who are associated with us. We have marked the associated vendors for more clarity for our visitors.
