For showing extensions and the support and services menu we are using our Webkul Services. So, confirming the privacy policies is recommended.

Multi-Vendor Marketplace Lite for WooCommerce is a open source software and made to be extended. To reduce zip size and optimize the code, we have added minified css and js assets but developers can find non-minified (un-compressed) source at our public ([github repository(https://github.com/webkul/multi-vendor-marketplace-lite-for-woocommerce/)] here.

For showing Google Maps on Seller Dashboard we have used ([Google Map Loader JS (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/basic_load_libs)]
