OEC Payments: Inviting Shops to Add a Payment Method

KB Article #8755

Dealers who use OEC Payments can invite any shop that doesn't already have a payment method on file in RepairLink Shop when processing an order for that shop.

There are two ways to invite a shop:

• Sending an In-App Invite
• Sending an Email Invite

Note: If multiple dealers send invitations to the same shop, their invitations will be combined into a single invitation.

Sending an In-App Invite

When processing an order, the Buyer information section displays a message that says "Invite shop to add a payment method." Click Invite to send the invite.

After you send a shop an invite, the status will update to You've invited the shop to add a payment.

How Shops Accept an Invite in RepairLink Shop

When a Shop you invited logs in to RepairLink Shop, the invite appears in two places:

• On the homepage.
  
• On the cart screen, when the shop places an order from the dealer who sent the invitation.  
  

Shops will have multiple options to respond to the Invite:

• Add payment method: Opens the Payments page in RepairLink Shop, where they can add their payment method.
• Remind me later: Dismisses the invite in both the RepairLink Shop home page and the cart screen. The dealer will have to wait 90 days to invite the shop again.
• Learn more (Cart invitation only): Opens Payments Powered by OEC. The page explains Payments and how to sign up.
