A simple way for your managed vendors to update their products and inventory
For managed vendors in Local Line, typically you as the hub would need to update product names, pricing, descriptions and images, as well as update product inventory. If you want to give the vendor the ability to do these tasks, you can send them a link from your Vendors table that gives them a simplified view of only the products that have been assigned to them, and they can update these details themselves without needing to create an account or log in.
Vendor Portal Link
In your Vendors table (Connections -> Vendors), click the overflow menu for any Managed vendor, and you will see two options: Copy portal link and Send portal link
The first option will copy the link to your clipboard so you can paste it in an email, text message, etc. The second option will prompt you for an email address and will send an email to the vendor with the link:
The Vendor Portal
The portal is designed to be streamlined and mobile-friendly. Vendors will see a list of the managed products that have been assigned to them by the hub along with their packages, inventory and pricing:
The search box will search on product name to filter the results, and the Product column header can be clicked to sort the results. Inventory can be updated by using the + and - controls, or by editing the quantity. Pricing can be updated by clicking on the price and entering a new amount (the pricing here is only the base price for the package and doesn't show any adjustments that the hub may have applied at the price list level).
Clicking the pencil icon will open the product for editing:
Vendors can edit the product name, description and images for the product. Once finished, they can click Save to update the details, and these will immediately be visible in the hub's product listing, and if the product has been added to a price list will be reflected in the hub's storefront.
