Welcome to Part 4 of the E-Commerce Multi Vendor Admin Control System series! In this session, we’ll build the foundational Store Model, which represents each vendor’s shop or business entity within your platform. This model will be central to managing products, orders, and vendor-specific data—making it a crucial part of your database schema.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a well-structured Store schema using Prisma ORM, connected to authenticated users (vendors) and ready to scale.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✔️ Designing a Store Model for multi-vendor relationships
✔️ Linking Clerk-authenticated users to their store records
✔️ Creating fields for store name, description, slug, and status
✔️ Generating Prisma migrations and updating your database
✔️ Validating and testing the store creation logic

💡 Why This Step Matters:

🔹 Defines how vendors register and manage their stores
🔹 Enables clean one-to-many relationships for products and orders
🔹 Prepares your system for role-based dashboard segmentation
