Inviting vendors to your marketplace is a fast and easy process, which allows you to increase the marketplace's offer in no time.
Depending on whether you are just setting up your marketplace or it's already live, there are two ways invite a partner directly from the marketplace dashboard.
Additionally, you or your marketplace team can always resend the invite or share an invitation link via other communication tools.
Please note: If your marketplace will operate in United Kingdom, you need to connect your Stripe Account first to be able to invite brands.
