HOW TO

Adding VendorPay Accounts

Adding VendorPay Accounts: https://support.workspace.cc/hc/en-us/articles/1500001876062-Add-New-VendorPay-Account 

Clients will most likely be trained on adding accounts before any other topic. If so, skip this topic during your admin training call. If there is not a signed contract engineering should be aware that properties are being added and they should be blacklisted. 

If possible walk clients through adding a bank account with real information and completing the KYC process along with you. 

Disabling VendorPay Accounts

For Clients with Signed Contracts: 

  1. Navigate to Accounting > AP > VendorPay Accounts 
  2. Click the gear icon under a company name
  3. Click "Disable VendorPay"
  4. Show, but do not click the "Yes" button
  5. Mention that re-enabling them is the same process

For Clients without Signed Contracts: All accounts will be automatically disabled upon activation by engineering. Nothing will be activated until the contract is signed.
