Welcome to the MarketTime Platform! Let's get you set up & processing orders...

Dear Brand Partner,

Your Agency utilizes MarketTime, as its sales enablement technology partner, using integrated tools such as order writing, order delivery, B2B eCommerce, analytics, and payment processing. The MarketTime platform enables efficient and secure collaboration between Brand partners, Sales Reps, Customers, and Agency Administrative Staff. Nearly every order written for your Brand will flow through the MarketTime order portal.

With MarketTime you can manage the relationship with your Agency in one secure and convenient place. 

Below are the steps you need to take to get yourself set up to take orders and process payments.

Part 3: Receiving Orders & Processing Payments

Step 1: Choose how you will receive your orders

MarketTime provides digital access to every order a MarketTime Agency writes for your Brand. For those who want orders to flow automatically to your ERP, there are powerful integration capabilities available. For those who prefer a manual process, the MarketTime platform enables you to simply fetch a PDF copy of the PO from the portal. And, if you have orders coming through both MarketTime and Brandwise, there are options to receive them all within your Stream Account.

Click HERE for an overview of the options available for order delivery, or HERE to schedule a 1:1 conversation and demo. 

Step 2: Choose how you will process payments

You have two options for taking credit cards: mtCharge or receiving tokens for an approved third-party gateway.

mtCharge - mtCharge is a powerful service that enables your Brand to securely charge credit cards, process digital checks with ACH, and schedule net terms charges. mtCharge rates are competitive and the service has complimentary features built in, including ad hoc (on-demand) payments, pre-authorizations, alternative payment method requests, and integrated analytics. For more information, click HERE.

Third-Party Gateway - MarketTime also enables brands to connect their existing credit card payment gateway to process credit card transactions. Click HERE for a list of supported payment gateways and to submit your preference.

As you work with the MarketTime team to determine the best options available to fit your needs, they will ensure you are set up to receive orders and process payments in the desired format/location you require.
