Troubleshooting - Online Registration and Logging In

 

Registration - Trade Account Page

Gallery Direct is a trade-only supplier, therefore all users are required to register and be approved before viewing our pricing and stock availability, as well as gaining access to our complete online account management tools.

When using the website for the first time, you will need to either register as an ‘Existing Trade Customer’ or a ‘New Trade Application’: 

 

Trade Account Access

EXISTING TRADE CUSTOMERS

If you are an existing customer then please register using your Gallery Account Number, which is the 5 digit number prefixed with ‘C’, this will speed up the registration process and you will not need to complete our full Account Opening Form again.

NEW TRADE APPLICATION

If you do not currently have an account with us, we will need you to complete our Trade Account Form and once your registration has been verified you will receive an email confirming your access.

Please note – your account will not be officially opened with Gallery Direct until your first order is submitted.

 


 

How will I know if I have been approved?

Once approved an e-mail confirmation will be sent to notify you that you can now log in (example below).

Please ensure you have checked your junk or spam folders for this notification e-mail

The email and password created when registering are now the details to be entered on the Trade Account Access page in the EXISTING WEBSITE USERS section.

 

Welcome to Gallery Direct-2

 


 

What happens if I have been denied online access?

An e-mail notification will be sent informing you of the decision to deny access, as per the example e-mail below. If you feel this decision has been made in error then we welcome you to appeal with supporting evidence of your business trading.

 

Access Denied

 

Alternatively, if you are indeed a business, but simply not within the required industry then we do also welcome a one-off ‘Cash & Carry' sales – for example, if you are a hairdresser, electrician etc. 

Simply go to our Sales Team page and contact the salesperson in your local area. Please provide them with the items you would like to order and they will quote and process the order as a one-off sale. 

You would still not be granted access to our online store on a Cash & Carry basis.
