1.1 What is a Hyperlocal Multi-vendor Marketplace?<\/h3>\n
A Hyperlocal Marketplace\u00a0Module\u00a0is a simple way to turn a regular PrestaShop marketplace into a multi-vendor marketplace with an inbuilt hyperlocal system. Hyperlocal functionality allows the store owner to allow himself or sellers on the marketplace to sell in a specific location.\u00a0On a PrestaShop Hyperlocal Marketplace store, the owner can define the radius value (to be evaluated on the map) and set the location for product availability. Once customers onboard the e-store website or mobile applications, they will be asked to choose the location and browse products as per the availability.\u00a0Based on the entered location of each individual user, they are presented with the products and sellers that are available nearby to them (as per the radius circle specified in the admin panel).<\/p>\n
Hence, in simple words, a hyperlocal marketplace is a local ecosystem allowing peoples of a specific zone to shop or order products.\u00a0These kinds of online shopping\u00a0medium are great for \u2018same-day delivery\u2019 or \u2018one-hour delivery\u2019 kinds of models. Examples of some of such online\u00a0marketplaces\u00a0are online grocery stores, food delivery stores, medicine stores, gift shops, malls, etc.<\/p>\n
