Non-Logged and Logged Browsing on Data Boutique
Data Boutique offers flexibility for both casual and frequent users, allowing access to datasets and catalog browsing without requiring an account. However, logging in unlocks a range of advanced features, providing buyers and sellers with greater control and additional tools.
Non-Logged Users
Non-logged users can explore Data Boutique’s offerings without needing to create an account. This option provides a simple and efficient way to get started:
- Catalog Access: Non-logged users can browse the entire Data Boutique catalog, viewing datasets organized by website, theme, and schema.
- Free Samples: You can request free samples to evaluate data quality before making a purchase.
- One-Off Purchases: For those only needing a single dataset, one-time purchases are available, including historical data for users seeking insights over time.
This accessibility makes Data Boutique an easy starting point for anyone exploring data options, providing all the essential browsing and purchase functionalities without needing to log in.
Logged Users
While non-logged users have ample browsing and purchasing options, creating an account unlocks additional features designed for systematic and long-term data use. Logged users have access to:
- Data Bundles: Logged-in buyers can create data bundles, grouping multiple datasets into one purchase to unlock discounts. Data bundles provide a detailed quote for the monthly cost of complex data requests, helping systematic buyers manage costs more effectively.
- Bid Status and Purchase History: Buyers who are logged in can track the status of their bids, view historical purchase records, and monitor ongoing requests. This provides valuable insights for recurring purchases and helps maintain organized records of past transactions.
Seller-Specific Features
For sellers, logging in is essential to access tools designed to manage and optimize data listings:
- Manage Listings: Logged-in sellers can view and edit their active data listings, ensuring that offerings remain current and relevant.
- Track Sales: The sales dashboard provides sellers with an overview of their sales activity, including which datasets are performing best.
- Payout Schedule: Sellers can view their upcoming payouts, keeping track of earnings and payout dates for efficient financial planning.
