We've introduced a new way for retail buyers and wholesale sellers to do business online, we've called it __Marketplace__.

__Marketplace__ will be gradually replacing our similar product called __Fieldfolio Direct__.

In order to make the transition as easy as possible for both buyers and sellers, when a seller upgrades their account to Marketplace we automatically migrate customer accounts from Fieldfolio Direct to Marketplace.

What this means for you as a retail buyer is that both Marketplace and Fieldfolio Direct catalogs remain accessible.

I was ordering on Fieldfolio Direct, why do I have a new buyer account?

When a wholesaler invites you as a retailer to view their Fieldfolio wholesale catalog, you can automatically see pricing and make orders.
