      What is Onboarding & Why Do I Need To Do It?

      Onboarding is the process of introducing the EcoCart product to the merchant. 


      This is an important part of our process in order to ensure success and satisfaction with the EcoCart app. The goal is for the merchant to know the ins and outs of the app, what they hope to achieve by using the app and what we can help them accomplish long term. 


      How Long Does It Take? 


      The target timeline for onboarding and implementation is 21 days. After confirming interest in working with EcoCart, a merchant will work with their Account Executive and Onboarding Specialist to complete the process & go live. 


      If you are a merchant going through the self service onboarding process, implementation will be almost instantaneous. After downloading the app you will add your billing info, go through your dashboard and select your settings, then enable the EcoCart widget.
