Hi,

The seller is the one who consumes the goods. seller is a person who is the end user of the product.
customer is the person who buys the goods or services and pays the price.
every seller is a type of customer but it is not necessary that every customer also be a seller.

you can check seller using sellerRepository following :

$seller = $this->sellerRepository->findOneByField('customer_id', auth()->guard('customer')->user()->id);

where we are checking that current customer is a seller or not and customer_id ,column is reference to the customer table.

I found this function been used in the default blade layout

app('Webkul\Marketplace\Repositories\SellerRepository')->isSeller(auth()->guard('customer')->user()->id)

We have created 'isSeller' function in our repository to identify seller, you can also use this function for seller.

Thanks
