1. Fill in Distributor Details

Start by entering the distributor’s basic information:

  • Distributor Name
  • Website URL
  • Contact Details
  • Address Information

When you add the distributor’s website URL, HeadQ automatically fetches available brand information from the website and pre-fills the Brand Identity section when possible.

2. Add Contacts

Click + Add Contact to add one or more contact persons for the distributor.

You can add details such as:

  • Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Role

These contacts can later be used for notifications and distributor management.

3. Add Distributor Privacy Policy

Add the distributor’s Privacy Policy information.

This information can be shown in places such as:

  • Checkout
  • Quote Requests
  • Email Templates

This helps ensure buyers always see the correct distributor-specific privacy information.

4. Review Brand Identity

Under Brand Identity, you can customize the distributor’s branding, including:

  • Logo
  • Brand Colors
  • Company Information

If a website URL was added earlier, HeadQ may already populate part of this information automatically.

Under Markets & Languages, define where the distributor operates.

You can assign:

  • Continents
  • Countries
  • Specific Regions

This information is used to determine how leads and quote requests coming from the manufacturer’s own website are automatically routed to the correct distributor.

7. Define Available Products

Next, define which of your products the distributor is allowed to sell.

This allows you to control distributor-specific product visibility and availability.
