📝 What has changed?
✅ Automatically generate slug using vendor.setdefault('slug', ...)
✅ Check for existing vendors by name or slug
✅ Improved log entries (now showing name and slug)
✅ Output includes how many vendors were newly created
✅ API error messages are displayed directly for better visibility
✅ Result:
With this function, no duplicate vendors will be created (whether matching by name or slug),
and if an error occurs, the exact API error message will be immediately visible.
