​​​​​​​Account FAQ's

​​​​​​​How do I register for an online account?

Click "Sign In / Register". Then select “Register”. If your company is an existing customer of record (your company has a Graybar Account Number), select “YES – my company already buys from Graybar”.
 

What is the difference between an Individual and a Company online account?

There are two types of online accounts for Graybar’s eCommerce site: Individual and Company. These two have different features, policies and terms. The main distinction is that Company Accounts have an existing Graybar Account Number set up with their local branch. When reading these FAQs, be sure to look for the information that applies to your type of account.

Individual Accounts

  • Single login associated with all orders and payment information.
  • Payment by credit card only
  • No special shipping, catalog, pricing, or other terms.
     

Company Accounts

  • Have a Graybar account number. Company Accounts are existing customers of record.
  • The company’s established contract terms will apply to online purchases.
  • Can have multiple logins.
  • Additional account features include shared Favorites lists, Quick Order, Quote Orders, and the ability to back-order.
  • You must log in to the site to view company pricing and availability.
  • Punch-out service customers should refer to information in this Help section for Company Accounts.
     

What if I have an Individual Account, but want change to a Company Account?
Give us a call at 855-347-2839 or contact your local branch to make this change. 

I use a purchasing system. How do I find out more about Punch-out or other EDI options? 
Give us a call at 855-347-2839 or contact your local branch to learn more about these special services that can connect your purchasing system directly.

How do I complete my account profile?

  • Method Three: Use the “Browse File” button to navigate to your prepared .csv file.

Please note that we recommend the number of SKUs entered at once does not exceed 100.
