0:00What the Dealer Network is
This video covers the Dealer Network: a private WhatsApp group where UK dealers who use Artifactly buy, sell and trade stock, and share what they know. Show Guide, at the top, opens the help for this page.
0:18Member view and joining
This shop is on an active Showroom plan, so it sees the member view. The badge says Showroom Member, and Active. Join the Dealer Network checks that your plan is still active, then opens the invite to the WhatsApp group in a new tab. We will not press it in this video. If your plan has lapsed, or it is not Dealer or Showroom, a red note under the button says so instead, and asks you to renew or upgrade.
0:49Network benefits
Network Benefits sets out what the group is for, in five cards. Buy, Sell and Trade Stock: dealer to dealer, with no fees or commission. Sourcing Intelligence: sharing leads, house clearance tips and sourcing chances with other dealers. Pricing Intel: post a photo and ask other dealers what they would pay or ask for it. Replies come from members, when they choose to answer. Talk to the Artifactly team: the team is in the group too, so you can suggest features and tell us what is not working. And For Subscribers: Artifactly gives the invite link only to active Dealer and Showroom subscribers. A link can be passed on, so treat a deal in the group like any other trade deal.
1:39House rules
Community Guidelines are the four house rules. Be respectful and professional. No spam or unsolicited promotion. Share genuine stock and sourcing chances only. And keep pricing talk honest and open.
2:02Locked page and plans
A shop without an active Dealer or Showroom plan sees a locked page instead. This shop has the plan, so it cannot show that page; instead, here is what is on it. A free trial sees the locked page too: the network starts once you pay. The locked page has a padlock, and a line saying what to do: renew your subscription, upgrade from Curator, or subscribe to Dealer or Showroom. Its button reads Upgrade to Dealer, or Choose a Plan, and takes you to pay. Under it, How It Works shows three steps: subscribe to Dealer or Showroom, join with the invite button, then trade. The same five cards follow, under What's Inside the Network. Last, Plans and Pricing shows the three plans: Curator at nineteen pounds ninety-nine a month, without the network, and Dealer at thirty-nine pounds ninety-nine and Showroom at seventy-four pounds ninety-nine, both marked Network Access. That is the Dealer Network. You can watch any of these videos again whenever you need them.
