What is Self Service?

Your customers can access all of their information online using the Self Service customer portal.

 

What is a magic link?

Self Service is completely secure and does not require a username and password. Access to Self Service is provided by a 'magic link' that is created with an email from your Receivables account sent to a customer.

 

How do I provide Self Service access without an email address?

You may not have a good email address for your all of your customers but you want to provide a way for your customers to register and get online access. You can setup a unique URL or web page address for your customers to register online.

 

This web page address or URL along with the customer ID can be added to your correspondences sent to your customers in the mail, such as a statement or invoice.

 

The web page will walk your customers through the registration process in order to capture a good email address for future emails, paperless billing information, along with requesting a new magic link.

 

How to setup your unique URL or address to your web page

The web page address or URLs are setup at the company level within your Receivables account.

 

The base URL is the same for all companies and you just need to add an easy and unique company identifier for your customers:

paperless.eco/company

 

To setup go to: Admin > Master File > Company

  • Edit the company record

  • In the 'Magic Link' section, enter a magic link code for your company and click the 'Validate' button

  • You will be prompted to 'Try another' if the code is already taken

  • If the code is unique, the Magic Link URL will be updated and display

Other items to update for your new web page:

  • A company logo can be displayed and is recommended your new web page

  • A company mail setting should be set and is also recommended. This email address will display on your web page and provide another way for your customers to contact you.

What will my customers see on my new web page?

If the email address is not registered for your company, the user will be prompted to enter their customer ID:

 

If the customer ID is not recognized, the customer will be prompted to email your company email address displayed in the message on the web page.
