Manage sub-accounts

Manage and set up the sub-account - Once the account was created, it will be added to your Partner dashboard, and you can edit and customize it by clicking Login as. (available to Solution Providers & White Label partners). Please note - After you complete the sub-account setup, you must reset the onboarding process so your client will be exposed to the welcome tutorial on the account and will be introduced to the different options. See the next step.

Reset the onboarding process & trial period - 
When you create the account for your client, the account setup status is 'In-process'. That means that you can access the sub-account and adjust the settings before the client starts to receive any email notifications or promotions about their vCita account.

Once an account is created, it automatically starts a 14-day free trial. 



After you are done setting up the account for the client, you should reset the onboarding process by clicking on Switch to Setup Completed next to the account in the Partner Dashboard.
This will ensure that your client will enjoy the self on-boarding process -

• The client will be able to see the onboarding wizards and learn about different features in the system.
• The client will be able to review and adjust the settings as needed.
• The client will receive the 'Welcome' email and other product updates.   
  
  

Activate a subscription - The accounts you create will be set as 14-day trial accounts. As a Solution Provider or White Label partner, you can use this time to setup the account for your client, train them, or demo to them.
When you are ready to hand over the account for your client, click on Switch to Setup Completed - this will reset the trial period and allow your clients to experience the options themselves.

When you are ready to upgrade the account to a paid subscription, click Activate subscription and choose the preferred subscription.

Please note, if you are a Solution Provider or a Reseller partner, your clients have the option to upgrade to any subscription on their own within their vCita account. In this case, you may be eligible for a Partner commission.
