This article will talk you through how to process a new joiner contract for a Private Vendor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Things to check before processing

Check the lead email is a personal one and not a company/Business related. If the email is business related, we will need to respond to the vendor asking to confirm they own the property and to request a personalised email address. 

The name should be of a person in the format: Name Surname. If the private seller does not want their name to be listed on the website, we can add their initials or First Name and the initial of their Surname.


Things to remember when processing

You don’t set the products live on-site until the PV Call is completed!
