The DivideBuy Retailer Portal allows you to have more flexibility around your products, services and price as we understand that you may offer bespoke products and services, or even discounts that are not within your website. This guide will help you to make the most of offering Interest-Free credit to your customers to maximise your business.
Your initial set up will be handled during onboarding, at which time you’ll receive an email to “Activate Account” and this will contain your link to register your details as a “Retailer Super Admin User”
We want you to be able to create and manage users within your portal in line with the needs of your business. We understand that all users won’t require the same access rights as others, depending on their role within your business.
DivideBuy has created two “User Roles” within your portal to help you manage what your employees are able to do within the portal. These are:
Users set up as Retailer Super Admin’s can utilise all functionality within your portal including:
Users set up as User Executive’s have less administration access but can create and complete orders. They’ll be able to:
Your portal will be straightforward to navigate. The column on the left-hand side is visible from any screen for easy navigation to different sections.
Your “My Store” tab is your dashboard. This is where you will return each time you log into your Retailer Portal.
If you have multiple “stores”, you can choose which one you want to view here.
At the bottom of your section column, you will see the icon for your User Profile. You can manage your information within this section.
Or, if you click “Cancel”, all changes will not be saved.
Please Note: User Executive’s are unable to change their “Role Information”. If you need to update this, a Retailer Super Admin will need to make these changes. This is covered further in section 4.2 step 2.
Within the Settings section, you will find the settings for changing your pin and password.
Select “Change Password”
Select “Change Pin” under the “Settings tab.”
Enter the requested details such as your current password and PIN, plus your new pin and confirmation of the new pin.
Once you have entered all your details, select “Send Code” at which point a verification code will be sent to the phone number registered with your User Profile.
You’ll receive a text message with a 6-digit verification code. Enter the code into the onscreen box and click “Verify.” A Message will appear on the portal to confirm that your pin has been successfully changed.
The following functionality is only available for Retailer Super Admin Users.
Retailer Super Admin Users can view all User Executives and Retailer Super Admin accounts.
Within the Retailer Portal select “Settings” from the menu on the left-hand column and select “Users.”
The following screen shows all users that have either a Super Admin Users or User Executive account linked to your store:
Both Retailer Super Admins and User Executives can create new users.
1. Go to the User list for your store and select “Add New User” via the button at the top right of the screen:
2. The following screen will appear:
Enter the user’s details, including “Role Information” and select “Save.”
3. The user will then receive the email below:
The user will need to click “Complete Registration.”
4. The pop-up form will be auto populated based on the details the Retailer Super Admin User inputted. Please ask the new user to check that this information is correct.
The user will need to create their own unique pin and password. They’ll use this to log into their User Account.
The user must click ‘sign up’ to complete the process.
5. Once the User has set their password and pin, they will be set to “Activated.” Further stops for this are detailed in “Activate a User” section of this guide. Once they have been set to ‘Active’ they’ll be able to use your Retailer Portal.
Retailer Super Admin Users can self-manage users. This is done by activating and deactivating user accounts. This could be useful for seasonal/shift workers or if a member of staff leaves your business.
Don’t forget, you’ll need to activate each new user that is created from within your Retailer Portal.
Step 1 – Go to your “User List” and you’ll see a column labelled “Activate”
Step 2 – To activate/de-activate, select the green/red switch.
Step 3 – A message will be displayed to confirm if you would like to activate/deactivate the selected user:
If ‘Yes’ is selected, the changes to the active field will be saved. If ‘No’ is selected, the changes to the active field will not be saved.
A Retailer Super Admin User can update user’s details within the portal.
Go to your “User List”:
Step 1 – Select the pencil next to the user you wish to edit.
The following page will be displayed:
Step 2 – Make any necessary changes and when you are done, press the “Save” button at the bottom left of the screen. If “Go Back” is selected, all changes will be lost.
If you have one member of staff that works across multiple stores, you’ll need to create a user role for each of the stores.
We’ve introduced this feature to allow you to manage your custom order requirements. The following section will provide a step-by-step guide of how to create a new custom order. The process is the same for any User Role.
Step 1 – Select the “My Store” tab in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen:
Step 2 – Select “Custom Order” next to your store name:
The following screen will appear:
Step 3 – Enter the customers’ details within the fields provided.
Step 4 – Click “Add New Product”
Step 5 – Enter the product name, SKU, product price, quantity and choose the VAT option.
Click the update icon 
All the fields must be completed before an order can be saved.
If a SKU is not available this field can be used for a reference number. The SKU will be displayed within your usual eCommerce platform.
When a custom order product name is added to the Retailer Portal, the entered SK will be remembered. So, when you come to add the same product in future the SKU will be auto populated.
Multiple products can be added to a custom order by pressing the “Add New Product” button. Pressing this button saves the details for the first product and adds another line for you to enter the next products’ details.
You can edit the saved products by selecting the pencil icon.
Step 6 – Updating subtotal, tax, discount and grand total.
This information can be updated by selecting the “Refresh” button.
You may wish to enter a discount. This can easily be done by entering a percentage amount within the “Discount” field and then select “Refresh” button.
The percentage will be converted into £GBP and the tax and grand total amounts will be automatically calculated and updated.
Step 7 – Once you’re happy and the details of the order are correct, hit “Save.”
Step 8 – The following pop-up will appear, where you must enter the customer’s postcode:
The customer’s postcode must be the billing address of the payment card they wish to use.
This will also be used as the customers shipping address.
Step 9 – Once the postcode has been entered, select “View Options.” This will display the shipping options for your store. Shipping options are pulled straight from your “Store Settings” within the Retailer portal.
Step 10 – Choose the appropriate shipping method and click “View Order.”

Alternatively, you can choose to edit the order by clicking the “Edit Basket” button.
Once you’ve chosen to send the “Order Link” you’ll be redirected to a list of orders created within your Retailer Portal:
Step 12 – The customer will receive the following email:
To complete their order, the customer will need to click ‘Complete my Order’ and they’ll then be redirected to the DivideBuy checkout where they can complete our 60 second application.
We’re naming you an “Integrated Retailer” if you have a website which has the DivideBuy platform integrated within your eCommerce platform. This means that any custom orders placed through the Retailer Portal will automatically be displayed within your usual eCommerce sales grid.
All completed orders will be displayed within your usual eCommerce platform, displaying the order status “Processing.” You can follow your normal flow to fulfil these orders.
The tracking information will need to be added which will be reflected within your Retailer Portal. This will ensure a purchase order and payment is made within the specified time of delivery.
We define a “Non-integrated retailer” as a retailer that does not have an eCommerce website and makes sales over the phone or face-to-face. All your orders will need to be managed within your Retailer Portal.
Follow these steps to process your orders:
Step 1 – When the “Order Link” has been sent to the customer and the products have been delivered, locate the
order from “Pending” within the List of Orders screen and select View Order:
