Manufacturer's Name
This is the Manufacturer's name that will be displayed to the customer. It will be the same text displayed regardless of which language the customer is using.
Manufacturer's Image
An image can be uploaded, typically the Manufacturer's logo, to represent the Manufacturer to the customer. This can be especially helpful if the image is more recognizable than the actual name, especially if the customer doesn't recognize the name entered above due to language differences.
Manufacturer's URL
The url can be entered to direct the customer to the Manufacturer's website, so the customer can go to the Manufacturer's website. This website can be different for each of the installed languages.
