Marketplace Group Buy for WooCommerce

== Description ==

With the help of the Marketplace Group Buy for WooCommerce extension, admin can give the privilege to their customers to buy the product at a discounted price by creating a group or by joining an existing group.

The customer must be logged in to the store to buy the product by creating the group. They can also join the existing groups or create new ones. The customer can also share the group through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Send By Email.

The admin can add the product to the group buy from the back-end which will display under the Group Buy category at the front end and can decide the group size for that particular product.

Sellers can also create group buy deals for their own products and can decide the group size, start date, expiration date, etc.

Features:
Groups could be shared via social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Email.
Groups could also be shared to store users by searching their usernames.
A group will be automatically qualified immediately after joining the minimum number of required members to qualify.
