# Set Up Vendor Portal

> The RazorpayX Vendor Portal is a platform created for your vendors where they can upload the invoices and receive updates of the payment upon your invitation. You can:

* Automate the collection of invoices from different vendors in one portal, eliminating the manual process.
* Save your time and help in better tracking of the vendor payments.
* `accept`, `reject`, `schedule` or `pay` the payment requests from vendors as per your convenience. The vendor is also notified of your action.
  Watch this video to know how to set up the Vendor Portal or read along.

Following are the steps to set up and invite vendors to the Vendor Portal:

1. [Setup Vendor Portal](#setup-vendor-portal)
2. [Invite Vendors](#invite-vendors)

## Invite Vendors

After you set up the portal, you can invite your vendors.

1. On your [RazorpayX Dashboard](https://x.razorpay.com/), navigate to **Menu** → **Contacts**.
2. Using Quick Filters, choose `vendor` as the contact type.
3. Select the contact that you want to invite to the portal. In the pop-up that appears to the right, click **Invite To Vendor Portal**, as shown.

When you do so, the vendor receives an invite on their email address. Once the vendor accepts the invite to join the portal, the label under their contact changes from **INVITE SENT** to **PORTAL ENABLED**.
