Connect suppliers

Supplier list

Suppliers › Supplier List shows each supplier with contact, email, phone, website, city and state, and status. A green tick marks suppliers you’re connected to on Vendoro; suppliers keep their own records in the supplier portal. From each row you can edit a supplier, Mark Inactive (or active again), or delete it.

Adding a supplier

• Suppliers › Supplier Network: every supplier that has signed up to the Vendoro supplier portal, in alphabetical order. Search by name, email, website or town, and filter by All, Not connected or Connected. Choose Connect on a supplier you’re not connected to yet; suppliers you’re already connected to show Connected.
• Suppliers › Add Supplier: add one that isn’t on Vendoro. To have a supplier join the supplier portal, contact Vendoro support.

Sending a purchase order to a supplier on Vendoro that you aren’t connected to also sends them a connection offer, which they accept or decline in the supplier portal. If the Supplier Network is empty, no suppliers have signed up yet; they appear once they join.

Each supplier has tabs for Details, Contacts, Locations Allowed, Delivery Days, Account Numbers, Taxes & Shipping and Categories. On Details, Prices orders on sets whether the supplier’s orders are priced on the order date or the delivery date, which matters when a price changes between ordering and delivery. When a connected supplier changes your customer or tier price in the portal, orders are charged the new price. Categories decides which products appear in Price by Supplier. Once the supplier is saved and has joined the supplier portal, their W-9 details, remit-to address and insurance certificates appear read-only on the Tax & Insurance tab.

Price by Supplier (bid sheet)

Suppliers › Price by Supplier (also under Catalog) shows every product in a supplier’s assigned categories with that supplier’s prices. Turn on Show unpriced products to see what they haven’t priced yet, edit and Save Changes, or Export Excel to send it out as a bid sheet. You can also select prices and delete them in bulk.
