Private Showroom

What is a Private Showroom?

The private showroom is your company page on MercaTrade.com for which only users that have been granted an access by you can access your products catalogue and company information.

 

 

Why a private showroom?

The Private Showroom allows you to publish products, services or information that contain more strategic attributes such as price or technical specifications. You may want to keep these information away from the public but grant your clients or potentials clients with an access to these information.
