Sometimes, MainStem users have vendors that live outside of our marketplace, or "Out Of Network." In order to help our clients get to doing 100% of their purchasing within MainStem, we provide an option to create an "Out of Network" Supplier.
"Out of Network" Vendors are any vendor that our clients do business with, but we do not. This means MainStem is not responsible for payment or logistics. To learn more about what constitutes an Out of Network vendor, contact our support team at support@mainstem.io.

Some 'Out of Network' suppliers have the ability to accept Purchase Orders directly via email.
If you typically send orders via email to this vendor you are creating, you can enter their email in this field. MainStem will create a PO and send an email to the address listed.
If you do not send emails to place an order, you can enter in any email you'd like in this field. This will automatically send a PO to that individual. Please note, MainStem does not follow up with "Out of Network" Suppliers.
