The seller will go to the given URL given by admin.
He will enter his own credentials like his own mail-id & password created by admin.

Step 6: Update Quantity of Products By Supplier
Once a supplier added a product in his product list; the next action he will take i.e update of quantity. The default quantity assigned to supplier is 0. The supplier can add the quantity by clicking on the Edit Quantity button.
Here I am going to add a quantity 2. But before going to add a quantity by supplier. Do we know the current quantity of the product? Don't worry! I am telling you. The current quantity of the product is 8.
After adding quantity 2 by the supplier. The current quantity for the supplier is 2. And for seller admin: The quantity will be 10.
Total Quantity for Supplier- 2
Total Quantity Available for Admin Default Seller - 10
Step 7: Update Quantity of Products By Admin
You have to remember the admin will do all the changes from his own CommerceUp dashboard. Don't confuse in this part. We have one admin & one seller here with different login credentials. In the same way; there can be multiple sellers of the same products.
There are two ways through which an admin can update the quantity of his products
Manually
Via CSV
Will start with the Manual way:
Click on the Catalog->Product Inventory.
In this tab- You can view the total quantity of admin not seller. As we already know the quantity of default admin seller is 8 for the product Vanilla.
If the admin seller wants to change the quantity of the products, he/she can do this from here.
Here I am changing the quantity from 8 to 9 by clicking on the Edit Quantity button.
Now check the changed quantity in the Product Inventory tab.
Check your inventory in the Master Inventory means in the Product Catalog. The total quantity of Vanilla product is 11 here. The quantity of the admin seller is 9. And the rest quantity of the seller is 2.
2. Update Quantity via CSV by Admin

If an order is placed by the customer. It will come first in the Order tab of the admin Commerceup dashboard. Suppose a customer placed an order of product Vanilla. And the supplier of this product is Admin & supplier itself. So two suppliers are there admin & supplier Divya. In this way, multiple suppliers can be there.
