Product guide

The public guide at /guide: what suppliers, customers and references do, in order, and where to start.

The product guide is a public page at /guide. It needs no sign-in and is the page the marketing site links to from every header.

Who can use it#

Anyone. It is read-only and holds no personal data.

Common questions#questionswho decides credit, one business as supplier and customer, pending supplier accounts

VendorLogic does not approve credit. The supplier that receives the application decides and sets any limit and payment terms.

Who can do what#

Signing in is through Google or your company's single sign-on. What a person sees depends on their role in the business: for suppliers Owner, Administrator, Credit manager, Salesman, Account admin or Vendor user; for customers Owner, Administrator, Buyer manager or Buyer. Only credit managers, administrators and owners record decisions; only owners and administrators manage the team and settings. A business administrator can also verify the business (settings, "Business verification"). The full role-by-feature picture is in docs/flows/overview.md in the repository, and the roles page in this documentation lists each permission.

Calls to action#

  • Suppliers go to /login; Google sign-in decides new versus returning.
  • Customers go to /login?next=/find-vendors, which lands on supplier search after sign-in. Old /signup links still work and forward to /login, keeping the next destination.
  • References who lost their email link go to /reference.
