The Sellers page is a list of Sellers (vendors) that can offer products or deals to your marketplace. Manage your Sellers from this central location.
Getting Started
When adding Sellers, it is per marketplace. If you offer multiple marketplaces use the dropdown on the left to select the marketplace you want to manage.
Seller Statuses
The Seller table is split into 4 categories: All, Available, Active, and Invites
All displays every Seller you've added to your marketplace.
Available indicates Sellers with products/deals available to be added to your marketplace.
Active shows Seller with products/deals that you've already added to your marketplace.
Invites displays any invitations you've sent to Sellers that have yet to onboard to Builtfirst.
Using the Table
Review the Sellers that can offer deals in your marketplace using the Seller page table.
Search, Sort, Columns, Add Sellers
The options at the top of the page allow you to customize how you search for Sellers.
Options from left to right:
Search for deals by vendor name, key words, seller ID, or description.
Sort the table alphabetically or by offer creation/update date.
Add/Remove columns from the table.
Add Sellers using their email address to invite vendors to start using Builtfirst.
Learn more about inviting your Sellers onto Builtfirst here.
Results
Sellers in this table are shown/hidden depending on how you use the Categories, Products, and Associated Deals filters.
By default, we'll show: Seller Name, their Builtfirst ID, category of business, products they offer, specific deals within those products, and the Sellers' description of what they offer.
Adding Sellers
Use the action menu on the right side of the table to:
Add Product: Add all of a Seller's products to your marketplace. This is a shortcut to the Catalog. Learn more about the Catalog here.
Go To Seller: View a Seller's full profile and list of products + deals. More info about Seller Profiles can be found here.
Delete: Delete all of a Seller's products + deals from your marketplace. If that Seller continues to leave offers available for you, you can re-add them from the Available tab at the top of the page.
Chatting with Sellers
The icon between Seller Name and Seller ID is a shortcut that opens the Builtfirst Inbox so you can draft a message to the Seller's primary contact on file.
Use the inbox to ask questions or negotiate deals just for your marketplace.
