When a Supplier requests an invitation to register on the Public Marketplace lists or is invited to register on a Preferred Supplier List, they are sent an email notification.

If they do not have an existing account against their email address they will need to follow the prompts to register an account.

To provide this information to a Supplier, please use this link to the same article in the VendorPanel Supplier's Help Centre: https://vendorpanelsuppliers.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900002556943-Setting-Up-Your-Account

1. They will need to click the Click here to get started link in the email notification to begin setting up their account.
   
   
2. The platform will recognise there is no account registered to that email address and will ask for a password to be set for the account.
   
   
3. Once they have set their password, their account will be created and they will need to set their location and timezone. This is the location that will be used when Buyers are searching for Suppliers on a list and filtering by their distance from them. The timezone selected will be the timezone that open and closing times for requests will be displayed in.
   
   
4. Their next step is to enter all of their profile information. This includes name, position, contact details, business information, business description and business size.
   
   
5. Their account will now be setup successfully.

After they have setup their account, they can edit their location, profile and other details by hovering over the user icon in the top right. You can find more information here: Suppliers editing their Profile, Location, Password, or Email Address.
