Distributor & store-contact portals

You each have a light web page you reach by signing in at /portal with a one-time code emailed to you — no password to remember. If you serve more than one brand, use the brand switcher at the top to move between them. Below are the two parts: one for distributors, one for store contacts.

---

# Part 1 — For distributors

See the tastings booked at the stores you service, and set how your summary email works.

See what's coming up

1. Sign in at /portal. Your list shows upcoming tastings at the stores you service.
2. Each card shows the store, address, date and time, and products. A tasting that's confirmed shows a Booked pill; one running right now shows Happening now.
3. Use the search box ("Search store, city, state, product, or date") to narrow the list.
4. The three tiles up top tell you the totals: Upcoming (tastings in your window), Linked Stores (stores you service), and Window (how far ahead you're looking).

You see confirmed tastings only. There are no ambassador names, pay, or notes here.

Tune your summary email

Under Summary preferences you control the emailed round-up.

1. Open the Summary frequency menu and pick Weekly, Every two weeks, or Monthly. To stop the emails, choose Off - don't email me a summary.
2. In Look-ahead (days), type how many days ahead the summary should look. Leave it blank to use the brand's default (the grey placeholder shows what that default is).
3. Click Save preferences. You'll see "Saved ✓".

See what's coming up

1. Sign in at /portal. Under Upcoming samplings you'll see what's scheduled at your store.
2. Each card shows the date and time, the products, and who's coming — "With {name}" (first name), or "Ambassador TBD" if not yet claimed. A confirmed visit shows Booked; one happening right now shows Happening now.
3. The tiles up top show Upcoming (samplings at your store) and Stores (stores you manage).

Leave a note for the ambassador

On any upcoming sampling card, you can pass along a tip for that specific visit.

1. Find Note for the ambassador on the card.
2. Type your note in the box — for example, "check in at customer service first, use the east entrance."
3. Click Save note. You'll see "Saved ✓".

The ambassador will see your note for that visit.

Request a sampling

If it's been a while, you can ask the brand to come by. This is a request the brand's team follows up on — it is not a confirmed booking.

1. Find the "It's been a while?" card and click Request a sampling.
2. If you manage more than one store, pick the Store.
3. In Preferred window, say roughly when — for example, "July, or a specific week."
4. Optionally add Product interest and a Note.
5. Click Send request. You'll see "Sent — {brand}'s team will follow up."
