After completing a Purchase Order through the Grovara Marketplace, the Purchase Order is submitted to the Brand for acceptance. Once a Brand has accepted the Purchase Order, the Grovara Platform guides the Brand and Buyer through the next steps of the Order Management experience.

 

All orders placed through the Grovara Marketplace, follow the process below.

Once an order has been accepted by the Brand, the Purchase Order will appear in the “Proforma Invoice Created“ section of the “Orders” section of the Dashboard.
