This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create and set up a new Supplier account after receiving an invitation email from a Buyer.
Prerequisites
- You must have received an email notification requesting registration on a Public Marketplace list or a Preferred Supplier List.
- The email address in the invitation must not have an existing account.
Steps
Follow these steps to set up your new account:
-
Open the invitation email and click the 'Click here to get started' link to begin the registration process.
- Set a password for your account when prompted. The platform recognises your email address doesn't have an existing account and requires a password to create one.
-
Set your location and timezone.
- The location is used by Buyers when searching for nearby Suppliers; it is not used for postal purposes.
- The timezone will determine how open and closing times for requests are displayed to you.
- Enter your profile information. This includes your name, position, contact details, business information, business description, and business size.
Your account is now set up successfully.
Results/Validation
You will be logged into your new Supplier account, and the initial setup process will be complete.
