Add a company to your Network
There are two ways to add companies to your Network: Manual and CSV Upload. This is how you are able to connect to your buyers, suppliers and other trade partners within Wholechain. The below assumes the companies with whom you're connecting have existing Wholechain accounts. You can also add companies to your Network who are not yet on Wholechain, here's how.
How to add a single company manually
1
Navigate to the Network page on the left-side menu
2
Click on Actions > Add. You will be given the option to choose between two Entry Methods: Manual and CSV Upload; select CSV Upload.
3
Click Download CSV Template and download the template. Once downloaded, download the relevant information.
4
Since the company you're adding has a Wholechain account, enter an email address associated with their Wholechain account, or their Wholechain ID (the Wholechain ID can be found under a user's Settings > Account Settings)
5
Select which type of Network Partner they are ( Buyer, Supplier, or Third Party) and click Add Company
6
After you invite the company to join your Network, the recipient will receive an email and a request in Wholechain to confirm to be added to your Network. As soon as they do, their status will change to Confirmed.
How to add multiple companies at once with CSV Upload
