NOTES:
- If a customer buys a product that is assigned to a supplier, the  shipping methods assigned to this supplier will be available only.
- If a customer buys several products from different suppliers, several  shipping methods (assigned to the suppliers) will be used in the order.  The shipping cost will be summed.
- When an order is placed, a notification about it will be sent to the  corresponding supplier's email in order that he could ship the purchased product(s) to a customer.
- In order to hide the supplier name in the customer area the Display product supplier company setting needs to be disabled on the Suppliers add-on settings page.
