Customer or partner: which account do you need?

Two ways to use Mediery — buy through a customer account, or sell by enlisting as a partner. Here is how to choose.

Mediery serves two audiences, and you sign up through a different entry point depending on which one you are. Pick the path that matches what you want to do — the rest of this guide is split into a customer track and a partner track so you only read what is relevant.

Choose a customer account if you want to…

  • Browse the Exchange Directory of verified partner storefronts.
  • Describe what you need and get matched by AI.
  • Place orders for the products and services you find.
  • Track those orders from a lightweight Customer Portal.

Enlist as a partner if you want to…

  • Publish a public storefront in the Directory and get discovered by buyers.
  • List and manage your products and services with Inventory Control.
  • Receive and fulfil customer orders, and keep a Customer List of your buyers.
  • Keep your books with built-in Bookkeeping (on plans that include it).
  • Manage your team with Employee Management (on plans that include it).
  • Track performance and sales trends with Analytics (on plans that include it).
  • Start from ready-made storefront templates and publish on a Mediery subdomain.
  • Run it all from the feature-rich Partner Console, with AI add-ons on plans that include them.

A customer account is for buying; a partner account is for selling. Each has its own space: the Customer Portal, or the Partner Console once Mediery has approved the business.
