# Service reference

> The Seller module service and its methods for working with records directly.

The Seller module exposes a service you can resolve from the Medusa container to
read and write records directly, without going through a workflow. Use it inside
custom services, subscribers, or scheduled jobs.

```ts theme={null}
import { MercurModules } from "@mercurjs/types"

const sellerModuleService = container.resolve(MercurModules.SELLER)

const [sellers, count] = await sellerModuleService.listAndCountSellers({
  status: "open",
})
```

## Generated methods

Each data model gets a standard set of auto-generated methods. For `Seller`:

| Method                                   | Description                    |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `createSellers(data)`                    | Create one or more stores      |
| `retrieveSeller(id, config?)`            | Retrieve a store by id         |
| `listSellers(filters?, config?)`         | List stores matching filters   |
| `listAndCountSellers(filters?, config?)` | List stores with a total count |
| `updateSellers(data)`                    | Update one or more stores      |
| `deleteSellers(ids)`                     | Delete one or more stores      |

The same set exists for every model in the module, such as `Member`, `SellerMember`,
`MemberInvite`, `ProfessionalDetails`, `SellerAddress`, and `PaymentDetails`
(e.g. `createMembers`, `listMemberInvites`, `updatePaymentDetails`).

## Team methods

| Method                                   | Description                     |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `addSellerMember(data)`                  | Attach a member to a store      |
| `removeSellerMember(sellerId, memberId)` | Detach a member from a store    |
| `createMemberInvites(data)`              | Create pending team invitations |
| `updateMember(data)`                     | Update a member record          |

<Warning>
  Prefer [workflows](/platform/store/reference/workflows) for anything with side
  effects (status changes, invites, payouts). The service writes records
  directly and does **not** emit events or run compensation.
