In a multi-seller marketplace, admin and sellers need to keep a track of different transactions that take place in their accounts. It allows you to view and manage these transactions.
Go to Sellers > Seller Ledger section in StoreHippo Admin Panel.
In the seller ledger, two tabs are present:
Transactions in seller ledger are generated for the following actions:
Product Listing Fee: If a Product Listing Fee is defined in Seller Ledger Rules, then a transaction will be created with the product listing fee for every product added.
Product Selling Fee: If a Product Selling Fee is defined in Seller Ledger Rules, then a transaction will be created with the product selling fee for every product that is sold.
Order Cancelled: When an order is canceled, the paid amount of the order will be debited from the seller's account.
Order Shipped: If the seller has used the shipping services to ship the product then the shipping charges will be debited from the seller's account.
TCS: If TCS tax is enabled in your store, the tax is payable by a seller. The debit entry of 1% of the total amount of the order value is added in seller ledger.

StoreHippo's multi-seller implementation uses the marketplace model where the seller is selling the products directly to the customer and the marketplace is acting as a facilitator. Seller is responsible for generating the invoice to the customer. Seller is also responsible for charging the applicable taxes (VAT, GST, etc.) on the product which will be applicable to the product selling price.
