Item Verification

This Plug-In enable the marketplace admin to vet/approve/verify items. This means when a merchant uploads or edits an item, that item is made invisible and non-purchasable by any buyer.

Merchants cannot change this setting unless the marketplace admin approves the item by making it purchasable/verifying it on the admin portal.
