We normally request owner access instead of collaborator access to ensure a quick installation of DivideBuy technology. Owner access is the only user role that permits us to add and enable/disable payment methods and allows us to carry out testing more efficiently, without making a request to you for access. If you would prefer to only provide us with collaborator/partner access then we will have to request that you enable/disable the payment methods at various times during the installation. This may mean your install takes a little longer than normal as your DivideBuy developer may be assigned to another installation whilst we wait for you to confirm this has been actioned.

Yes, we do. Our Eligibility Checker tool lets customers check whether they may be approved for the amount they wish to borrow, without harming their credit file. We would recommend that you add this option during the installation process. This feature increases conversions and reduces basket abandonment.

Our Eligibility Checker tool runs a soft search - this is a credit search made on a file that won't affect your customer’s credit score. Although it's recorded on their file like every other search, lenders can't see it and it does not affect their record.
