Creating a Merchant Account via Invitation in 3PLICITY

In 3PLICITY, Merchant accounts are created through an invitation sent by a Company (3PL). This ensures that all merchants are securely linked to the company that invited them.

This guide explains what happens when you receive an invitation and how to complete your account setup.

Receiving the Invitation

When a Company invites you to join 3PLICITY:

• You will receive an email containing an “Accept Invitation” button.
• The email includes the name of the Company that invited you and your assigned merchant name.
  

Accepting the Invitation

1. Open the invitation email.
2. Click Accept Invitation.

You will be redirected to the Merchant Sign Up page.

• The Merchant role is already selected and cannot be changed.
• Your email address is pre-filled and cannot be edited.

Completing Your Merchant Registration

1. Fill in the required information:
   • Store Name
   • First Name and Last Name
   • Password and Confirm Password
