Frequently Asked Questions about our new website
What was the reason behind launching a new SCALA website?
SCALA has launched a new website to stay up to date and ensure better security for our customers. With this upgraded site, we can now take advantage of the latest features and technologies that weren’t possible with the old platform. We’re ready for the future!
How do I log in?
To enhance your security and workspace safety, we've introduced a new login method.
You now log in using your personal email that is linked to your company. A verification code will be sent to that email, use it to access your account.
Important:
You must have access to the email address you log in with, as the verification code will be sent there.
If you don't have access to that email address but still need to log in, you'll need to be added as a customer to the corresponding company account. In that case, please contact us for assistance at sales@scala-nl.com.
Can I link more than one email address to my company?
Yes, you can! Every email that is linked to your company can create its own shopping cart and place orders.
Would you like to add more email addresses to your company account? Please contact your Account Manager or reach out to our Support Team at sales@scala-nl.com.
I have multiple customer numbers. Can I use the same email address for all of them?
In our system, it's not possible to use the exact same email address for different companies. However, this is often the case in practice, especially for dropshippers. To solve this, we’ve come up with a simple workaround.
Many email providers (like Gmail, Outlook, and ProtonMail) support a feature that allows you to create variations of your email address using the "+" symbol. These variations still direct all emails to your original inbox.
For example:
- Main email: buyer@companyname.com
- Email linked to Company 1: buyer@companyname.com
- Email linked to Company 2: buyer+location1@companyname.com
- Email linked to Company 3: buyer+location2@companyname.com
- And so on.
You can log in to Company 1 using buyer@companyname.com, and log in to Company 2 using buyer+location1 @companyname.com.
Both login codes will be sent to buyer@companyname.com, because anything after the "+" is ignored by most email providers.
This allows you to use essentially the same email address across multiple companies in our system.
Important: These email addresses are just examples. You can choose anything after the "+", as long as you inform us of the full email variation you wish to use.
To add a '+ email' to a company, please reach out to your Account Manager or contact our support team at sales@scala-nl.com.
How can I share a shopping cart within my company?
There are two ways to share your shopping cart within your company:
- Log in with the same email address (like buyer@companyname.com). Make sure you can receive the verification code for that email.
- Use the Share Cart link option in your shopping cart and you can share your cart.
⚠️ The shared products will be added to the existing cart, not replace it.
Does my cart save automatically when I add products?
No, the cart is not automatically saved when you fill it. You have to click on the cart first; then the cart is saved for 30 days. After clicking on the cart, you can close the page and see the cart again when you reopen it. The cart can also be seen when logging in from another location.
How can I download product images?
There are 3 ways:
- On the Product Detail Page, you can download images of that product.
- In your shopping cart, you can download images of the products in your cart.
- After placing your order, you can download images from your account overview.
You will receive a link via email to the images of the requested products. We do this to optimize the speed of the website.
Where can I find the pricelists?
You can access your personalized price feeds in both CSV and XML formats through your account portal.
Can I import an order using a CSV file?
Yes, you can! Go to your shopping cart and use the template to import products easily.
⚠️ If you upload your CSV file, products in the file will replace your current cart.
Where can I download my CSV file after placing my order?
Once you've placed your order, it will appear in your account. From there, you can download a CSV file of your order details.
Can I get a message when a product is back in stock?
Yes! Just click in the product page on the link ‘Let me know when this product is available’. You’ll get a message if it comes back in stock. Please note that this data will be deleted after 3 months. If the product becomes available again after that period, you will no longer receive a notification.
