Remember you are the admin and you have full right to access all the details of the sellers, and you can even delete them if necessary. Set up seller ledger rules accordingly for better management and conduct.

There are many other multi-seller features available on StoreHippo to provide better e-commerce solution. Features like payment method, shipping method, language, choice of currency, additional taxes and enable notifications are available for you to choose according to the seller’s demand.
