Who's In My Marketplace?: Marketplace Visibility and Buyer Policies

Control who can see, use, and join your marketplace/community

Updated over 3 weeks ago

In Builtfirst, marketplace owners decide who can view discounts and join their marketplace at any time. This is all customized in the Access tab on the Marketplace Settings page.

Clickpath: Marketplaces > Go to Marketplace > Settings > Access

Marketplace Visibility

Marketplace visibility determines whether someone must create a Builtfirst account to see any discounts. Note that visibility only refers to what users can see - there's a separate setting to determine whether these same users can click buttons to redeem/request quotes from vendors.

  • Open - Login or sign up isn't necessary to see products, deals, or integrations

  • Closed - Login or sign up is necessary to see products, deals, or integrations

Marketplace Policy

  • Open to all - anyone that can see the marketplace can redeem products, deals, or integrations

  • All require approval - buyers must be approved by your team before they can redeem products, deals, or integrations

Domain Policy

  • Yes, extract domains and auto-group buyers based on them - if multiple users with the same email domain join your marketplace, we'll put them in the same organization

  • No, don't extract domains and auto-group buyers based on them - users with the same email domain will be listed under separate organizations in your marketplace

Customer Accounts

Customer accounts determines whether someone must create a Builtfirst account before they can try to redeem discounts or request quotes from vendors. This option is disabled if your marketplace has closed visibility.

  • Accounts Required - Customers will need an email and password to redeem

  • No Accounts Needed - Customers will only need a verified email to redeem

Why are emails required even when selecting No Accounts Needed?:
Emails are used to tie users to your analytics so you can see who is redeeming discounts and when. If a discount requires personal followup from the vendor to apply it, they'll reach out to the email address entered when users request the deal.
