There are several types of Petals Membership.
As we try to give you a large range of options from which you can choose how you interact with Petals, it is possible to have an almost infinite mix of combinations.
The following are three broad categories that will get you started.
Unregistered florists
These are florists who have not yet registered with Petals and, strictly speaking, are consequently not members at all. In several countries, we try to list every florist in a
delivery area in the
Petals Directory in order to try to provide a useful service to the general public trying to find a florist serving a locale.
When we have no registered or better florist in the area, we will provide fairly full contact information on unregistered florists so the consumer can reach someone.
However, once florists register with Petals, we will progressively reduce the amount of information we display for unregistered florists in order to drive business towards our registered florists.
Registration is easy, instant, free and carries no obligations to interact further with Petals. Unregistered florists can register
here.
Registered Members
Registered Members are those who have taken the first step to trading with Petals.
At this level, more comprehensive information is shown in listings in the Petals Directory which is designed to attract business from both;
Although Registered members can trade with other Petals florists, they will not get any orders back via our fair trading system at this membership level. This is reserved for Full Members.
Registered Members can request Full member status but it is not automatically granted as Petals has to weigh up a number of factors before granting this level of membership. Contact us for more infomrtion at hq@petalsnetwork.com
However, Registered members can use the Petals Exchange to send orders to other florists, in their own or another country, quickly and conveniently via Petals Lite. These orders will earn you a selling commission.
Full members
Full membership allows Petals Members to trade either directly with an other Petals florist or via the often more convenient services of the Petals Exchange.
In most cases, full members will also be eligible to receive orders back from the 'pool' in the Petals Exchange.
