Feature Request: Seller Empowerment – Dashboard & Tools for Rural Artisans

[KandulaSreelekha]

Description- Currently, VigyBag allows villagers to showcase their eco-friendly products, but seller-side functionality is limited. To truly empower rural artisans, we should build a Seller Empowerment Module with a simple, mobile-friendly dashboard and tools that make product management easy.

Proposed Features-

• Seller Dashboard
• Add/Edit/Delete products (with photo, description, price, stock).
• Order tracking & status updates.
• Earnings summary with payouts (linked to UPI/Bank).
• Multi-Language Support
• Allow artisans to list products in regional languages for accessibility.
• Training Hub (basic version)
• Guides on product photography, packaging, and customer handling.

Future Enhancements (Phase 2)

• Bulk orders for B2B / corporate gifting.
• Micro-learning videos for artisan skill development.
• Analytics (top-selling products, monthly reports).

Why This Feature?

• Aligns with VigyBag’s vision of empowering villagers, not just selling products.
• Helps artisans independently manage their listings and earnings.
• Makes the platform scalable as more sellers join.

Acceptance Criteria

• Sellers can log in and access a dashboard.
• Sellers can add/edit/delete their products.
• Sellers can view orders and update order status.
• Sellers can see basic earnings reports.
• Dashboard works well on mobile devices.
