The **Vendor Badges** feature allows marketplace admins to recognize, reward, and showcase vendor performance. Badges act as trust indicators and are displayed on vendor profile pages to improve buyer confidence.

## Admin Badge Management

Admins can manage all vendor badges from the marketplace admin panel.

*(Marketplace → Badges section)*

- Create unlimited custom vendor badges
- Control badge visibility using status (Enabled/Disabled)
- Assign priority using badge ranking
- Upload custom badge images for visual recognition

## Add New Badge

Admins can create a new badge by filling in the following fields:

- **Badge Name**
  - Alphanumeric name (e.g., Gold, Silver, Platinum)
- **Badge Description**
  - Short explanation of eligibility
  - Example: *For 10,000 sales and above*
- **Rank**
  - Determines badge priority when multiple badges exist
- **Status**
  - Enable or disable the badge instantly
- **Badge Image**
  - Upload a custom badge icon

This allows full control over how badges appear and function in the marketplace.

## Update Existing Badge

<a class="doc-image-link" href="./assets/update-badge.webp"><img src="./assets/update-badge.webp" alt="Edit Badges" /></a>


Admins can update badge details at any time:

- Edit badge name or description
- Change badge rank
- Replace badge image
- Enable or disable the badge without deleting it

This ensures badge criteria remain relevant as the marketplace evolves.

---

## Assign Badge to Vendor

<a class="doc-image-link" href="./assets/vendor-details-badge.webp"><img src="./assets/vendor-details-badge.webp" alt="Vendor Detail Badge" /></a>

*(Vendor → Details section)*

- Admins can assign badges directly from the vendor profile page
- Multiple badges can be assigned based on vendor performance
- Assigned badges are immediately linked to the vendor account

**Example:**
A vendor completing **10,000+ successful sales** can be awarded the **Gold Badge**.

---

## Badge Display on Vendor Profile

The assigned badges are **visible to the customer at the vendor profile at the frontend**. This ensures that customers can immediately recognize verified and high-performing sellers directly from the shop page.

<a class="doc-image-link" href="./assets/vendor-profile-badges.webp"><img src="./assets/vendor-profile-badges.webp" alt="Vendor Profile Badge Display" /></a>

- Customers can view specific certifications such as **Top Rated Vendor** and **On Time Delivery**.
- The badges help customers quickly identify trusted and reliable marketplace partners.
- This visibility improves transparency and helps customers make faster, more confident purchase decisions.
