Can customers without a Patisco account inquire or place orders directly on our public page? Do they need to register first?

Yes, and no registration is required. After sellers create a public page in Product Management → Catalog layout, they can share the link on their website, email signature, or social media. Anyone who opens the link can view the catalog, add items to cart, send an inquiry, or place an order directly.

Only at the checkout step does the system send a 6-digit verification code to the email address entered by the customer to confirm the email is valid and prevent incorrect entries.

After submission, the seller automatically receives either a PI (if placed as order) or a quotation (if sent as inquiry), and the customer's information is added to the seller's Buyer Management. If the customer later wants to log in and view quotations and orders, they can join as a member from the public page (requires seller approval).
