Marketplace Vendor Functionality

Broadleaf Microservices supports the concept of a "marketplace" application - a commerce storefront where many "vendors" (think "third party sellers") can contribute their products for sale.

For such a setup, a Vendor can be established in VendorServices. This will cause various supporting entities to also be created for that vendor, such as a vendor-specific Catalog and a relationship from that catalog to the marketplace Application. More details around catalog/application set-up in relation to marketplace behavior are documented in TenantServices.
