Reminders: Be Sure You're Ready to Go
Here’s a few reminders to be sure you're ready to go for the busy season ahead and can make it a full success:
- In this busy time, we extend our SLAs. Our processing time before an order ships is 3-5 business days. Customers always receive a confirmation email with tracking information once their order ships. If any order is further delayed we will proactively reach out to affected customers.
- Be sure to update your shipping policy and terms & conditions on your site to reflect this before the busy season hits.
- If you have plans for email marketing campaigns, special release products, or promotions for your products (e.g. 50% off on Black Friday or free shipping in November), please be sure to share your promotion calendar for the holiday season with your AccelPay Partner Success Team so that we are ready to support you with this.
- As we approach OND we would like to ensure our records regarding your distribution are current to best assist you. Please provide us with your distributor information using this quick online form. Your quick response to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the holidays and the upcoming increase in order volume. Make sure your distributors are ready to go and that you're informing the AccelPay team of any holiday promotions or special releases. Go crush it out there!
At AccelPay, our core commitment lies in ensuring seamless payment processing and order fulfillment for alcohol brands while rigorously adhering to the 3-tier system governing alcohol sales.
To bolster compliance and fortify brands against potential setbacks, AccelPay has instituted a set of Notices designed to enhance transparency on a brand's site:
- AccelPay Notice: A clear yet discreet notice integrated at every purchase point on the eCommerce platform.
- Compliance Blog Post: An article underscoring the brand's unwavering dedication to regulatory adherence.
- Refreshed Terms Policy: For heightened clarity and trust among customers.
Purpose of these notices:
The Notice is designed to delineate the roles between a brand, AccelPay, and our licensed third-party retail partners within the 3-tier system. This clarifies to regulatory bodies that direct payment handling is not within the brand's purview, thus amplifying the compliance stance and reducing potential risks.
Notice Details:
The Notice reads as: "All alcoholic beverage sales are made by licensed third-party retailers in the AccelPay network," supplemented with a hyperlink to the AccelPay site and updated terms.
Implementation:
This Notice text is in small font, and in-line with a brand’s aesthetics. It does not impede a brand’s site performance. The strategic placement, under ‘add to cart’ and ‘buy now’ buttons, within the checkout journey, and the site's footer, ensures compliance without compromise.
Rollout of these notices comes at no additional cost to brands who join the AccelPay platform. AccelPay’s technical team oversees the implementation of the Notices in conjunction with its platform integration.
