  "description": "A registered entity on the Beckn network that makes resources and offers available through one or more catalogs, operating from one or more physical or virtual locations.\n\nProviders appear in the discovery phase of the value-exchange lifecycle as part of a Catalog, and persist through the negotiation phase as the counterparty identified in Offers. The PN produces provider records; the CN consumes them to identify and display the source of the resources and offers being considered.\n\nRelationship: Composed within the Catalog and Offer schemas. The availableAt field composes one or more Location schemas representing the provider's physical operating sites. The providerAttributes field extends the core schema with domain-specific attributes via the Attributes schema.",
