InfoHub Release – 09/11/2023

What’s new in this release:

Changes to commercial Method of Payment process

We’ve streamlined the experience for capturing the customer’s Method of Payment, allowing you to get them signed up faster.

Certain payment options, like automatic payment, will now be pre-selected based on application or program type.

Part 1: Vendor Experience

The ‘Method of Payment Authorization’ section on the ‘Create Documents’ screen replaces the previous ‘Method of Payment’ form.

If direct debit is required, the ‘Automatic Payment’ checkbox will be pre-checked (and may not be unchecked).

If there is no payment due at signing, the ‘Amount Due at Signing’ checkbox will not be checked (and may not be checked).

If there is a specified amount due at signing, the ‘Amount Due at Signing’ checkbox will be pre-checked (and may not be unchecked).

You will be asked, ‘Have you obtained the Lessee’s payment information?’

    • If you select ‘Yes,’ you’ll be asked to enter the ‘EFT Direct Payment’ or ‘Credit/Debit Card Payment’ details.
    • If you select ‘No,’ the Lessee will be prompted to enter their preferred payment method details. (See below for the Lessee Experience.)
    • Either way, you will validate the information by clicking ‘Next’ to move on to the subsequent ‘Create Documents’ confirmation screen.

Part 2: Lessee Experience

The Lessee will receive an email linking them to a landing page where they can:

    1. Review their lease details
    2. Confirm their payment information
    3. Generate and sign documents

If direct debit is required, the ‘I authorize TimePayment to automatically withdraw payments due via EFT or Credit Card.’ checkbox will be pre-checked.

If direct debit is not required, the Lessee has the option to authorize automatic payments and submit their information.

If payment is due at signing, the amount due will be indicated.

The Lessee then generates the documents to review and sign.

USPS Address Field Validation

All address fields in the apps are now referencing the USPS address database in real-time once the full address is populated, rather than on submit (the address suggestion popup will no longer exist).

  • Abbreviations replace spelled out street types.
  • Allowed characters extended for streets and city.
  • Suite numbers will automatically be moved to the second street address line if entered in the first street address line.
  • Directional address components will be removed (e.g., NW Main Street changes to Main Street).
  • A yellow icon appears to the right of the address as an indicator any time a part is automatically changed.

Changed address component is highlighted in yellow.

  • A red icon appears to the right of the address as an indicator any time an invalid or unrecognized address can’t be matched.
