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.

  • You must log in to the site to view company pricing and availability.

Graybar.com allows customers with multiple locations and multiple accounts to create what we call parent/child accounts. This allows companies to have a corporate or administrative account (parent account) that is able to access other divisions or organizational accounts (child accounts) within the company.

Think of it this way. If a company has multiple locations across the country, in order to make buying from Graybar easier, each location will have their own Graybar.com account, allowing them to view inventory levels for that specific location. The parent account will be able to view order and invoice statuses, order materials and request reporting data for each child account.

It is important to note that parent-level users must select a child account before any functions discussed above can performed.

USING GRAYBAR.COM AS A PARENT
When using Graybar.com as a parent, WOB (Working On Behalf) will be displayed at the top of the page. This indicates the account is being used at the parent level. Enter your credentials, Agent ID and Password then select the “Sign In”.

To view the associated child accounts, expand the drop-down arrow in Customer Name/Email Address field. Enter Customer Name/Email Address and select “Start Session”. Once a child account has been selected, the “WOB” will be updated accordingly.

When searching for items under a child account, such as QO Circuit Breaker (SKU 88242626), the product information will be displayed, which includes negotiated price and inventory levels.

Once the desired actions have been completed, select End Session. Once the session has ended, enter a different child account or return to the parent account.

USING GRAYBAR.COM AS A CHILD
Child accounts behave as typical Graybar.com accounts. Child accounts do not have the “Working As” drop-down at the top of the screen. 

For more information please refer to our pdf.

Favorites Lists allow you to quickly organize, access and purchase your frequently ordered items.

To begin, you must be signed in to a Graybar.com account to use the Favorites List. To sign in, select the “Sign In/Register” button located at the top right of the webpage.

To ensure the security of your Graybar.com account, you may be asked to sign in again if you have been inactive for more than 30 minutes.

homepage-quickaccess.jpg

Once you are on the Favorites page, you can view all the lists associated with your account, both shared and private. Please note that only the list’s creator can edit or delete a list.

Creating a New Favorites List
To create a new favorites list, select the “New List” button located at the top right of the webpage.

There are three ways you can create a Favorites List:

  • Method One: Type in or copy and paste a list of Graybar SKUs (also known as part numbers) in the text field.
  • Method Two: Drag and drop a prepared .csv file into the blue bordered text field on the right.  
  • 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.

If a SKU is no longer available, a message will appear: “To add all items to your cart, please remove the SKUs that are no longer available. Please note: If this is a shared list, only the creator of the list may remove the items.”

Once you have determined your list of SKUs and uploaded them through your chosen method, the List of Items page will be displayed. On this page, you can add your list directly to your cart, save to your favorites, or create a new favorites list.

Once you are on the List of Items page, you can also modify the quantities of your SKUs or remove them entirely.

To add a list directly to your cart, click on the “Add to Cart” button. The items displayed on the List of Items page will be added to your cart and a pop-up will be displayed, giving you the option to save that list for future purchases or go directly to your cart where you can begin the checkout process. 

When you click on the “Save to Favorites” button, a pop-up opens allowing you to name your Favorites List and make it either a private or shared list.

Once you have given your Favorites List a name and made it either private or shared, click the “Save” button. You have now created a Favorites List!

Please note that duplicate favorite names are not allowed. If you enter a name that already exists, the program will require you to enter a new or modified name.

Once the Favorites List has been created and saved, a message will be displayed indicating your Favorites List has been successfully saved.

Depending on the number of Favorites you and your team have created, you may need to scroll to find your newly created list. You can also select your name from the “Created By” option to narrow down the list to include your favorites.

On your Favorites Lists homepage, you will see all the lists that you have created or that have been shared with you. From here you can delete or duplicate a list, or add it to your cart. To rearrange the order of the list, click and hold the desired row and drag it to the desired location and then release your mouse.

To view or edit the products in your list, click the name of the list. You may also rearrange the order of the items within a list. The creator of the favorites list can edit or delete the list by selecting the edit or delete options.

The “Edit” button will display a pop-up so you can edit as needed. When you are finished, select the “Update List” button.

The “Delete” button will display a pop-up to confirm you want to delete the list.

You can also export the list using Export .csv. The downloaded file will contain the manufacturer part number, item name, Graybar SKU, item description and the UPC number for each item.

Add List to Cart
Add your list to your cart by selecting the item(s) you want to purchase with the “Add to Cart” button on the line of each item. You can also select the “All Items on Page” box. When using this checkbox, the “Add Selected to Cart” button displays so you can select it and add your item(s) to the cart.

A small green pop-up window displays indicating the addition to the cart was successful. You will also see the price value of your cart in the cart display in the top right of your screen.

By following these simple steps, you will be able to build and use a Favorites List on Graybar.com.

Graybar's new mobile app combines the functionality of two existing Graybar apps – Graybar Smartstock Plus and Graybar Mobile. Below are answers to some frequently asked questions.

Will my username and password from the old apps work on the new app?

  • No. However, if you have an existing username and password for www.graybar.com, that login info will work on the new app. If you do not have a www.graybar.com login, you will need to register to use the new app.
  • To Sign Up on the new app - Click the Sign In button and click on Register, or register online.

How does the app attach me to my correct customer account?

  • To use Smartstock only, all you need to do is register. Once registered, you can immediately begin scanning your Graybar provided QR codes and submitting Smartstock orders.
  • To use the additional mobile app features, you must be associated with an account by Graybar.
    • If you already have an account set up on www.graybar.com, you should be all set on the new mobile app.
    • If you do not, you’ll need to register. When your registration is received, a Graybar rep will get you associated with your account. Once this is done, you’ll have full access to all the app features.

What’s New?

  • The new app is closely connected to www.graybar.com and is designed to streamline core web functionality.

  • Improved App Store experience (Which app do I use?) – Graybar customers will now only have one app to choose from in the app stores.

Why does the app ask me for access to my Camera and Location?

  • Just like the old Smartstock app, the camera is used to scan QR codes.
  • Your location may be requested if you are trying to find directions to a Graybar location.

Where can I get the new app?
The new app is available in the Apple App store and Google Play store.

Will the old apps still work?
For a short period of time. The old apps will no longer work in 2024.


Shopping Topics

To efficiently find what you are looking for on Graybar.com, utilize the Search Feature. Maximize your search experience using your location, delivery settings, and filtering features.

Get started by signing into your Graybar.com account or allowing your browser access to your current location.

Please note, to keep your Graybar.com account secure, you will be asked to sign in again if you have left the site or have been idle for 30 minutes.

If you are searching for a product without logging in to your Graybar.com account, make sure your delivery zip code in the top right-hand corner of the screen is correct. This helps us show you products that are in stock at the closest branch near you.

Set Your Ship-To Address
If you are registered with a Graybar.com account, sign in using your email and password. Graybar.com will automatically filter to locally stocked items based on the Ship-to account you have selected. If you would like your order to ship somewhere other than the Ship-to you have selected, change it before you start your search.

Broad vs Specific Searches

Graybar.com search can distinguish between broad and specific searches. For instance, if you type “Lamps,” you will notice a large variety of products ranging from LED, fluorescent, and incandescent lamps in your search results. Refine that search with “LED Lamps,” and you will notice a smaller set of LED lamp products. Refine your search term once more by typing in “T5 LED Lamps.” This allows you to be more specific, cutting irrelevant products out of your search results.

Slang Terms
Graybar.com search understands industry slang terms. Type the word “biscuit” and you will notice results for Surface Mount Boxes. This functionality helps populate results to relevant products based on the industry slang term.

Content Searches
Graybar.com’s search engine can retrieve different content pages depending on your search term. For instance, type in “Careers” or “About Us” and you will be redirected to the corresponding page to learn more about the specific term.

Auto Correct
Graybar.com’s search engine will correct a misspelled search term. Type in “Yillow Tape” and you will notice the spelling is corrected to “Yellow Tape,” and yellow tape products will show in the search results.

Check “Stocked to Ship” or “Stocked at Branch” based on your selected delivery method.

  • If you are a customer who is eligible for Graybar truck shipping, filter to “Stocked at Branch” for best results.
  • If you normally receive Graybar products via other shipping methods, select “Stocked to Ship.” This narrows the search results to items that are in stock at your aligned Graybar Service Center or Zone Distribution Center.
  • Unchecking the boxes will show you more items that may not be available locally.

Narrow Search Terms with Filters
You can also filter your search results by Product Attributes listed along the left-hand side of the webpage. These attributes include category, manufacturer name, brand, series and personalized attributes based on your filtering selection.

To view pricing and availability, click on the product’s title to expand a window below the product and view the product’s details.

To view stock details, click on the stock details link below the Add to Favorites button to see live item availability at your local Graybar branch, Graybar Service Center, or Zone Distribution Center.

You can add items to your cart by selecting the “Add to Cart” button or add the product to a favorites list by selecting the “Add to Favorites” button. To view more details of the product, click on the view details link to see the complete product details and spec sheets.
