Dealer signup options
Use the Dealer Signup eComponent to recruit new downstream dealers via your website. The Dealer Signup configuration options are as follows:
Mode
The first stage of dealer signup requires the prospective dealer to register with dmClub or - if they're already a member - to log in to their customer account. Use this setting to control how signup proceeds after the prospective dealer logs in or registers.
| Mode | Description of bahaviour on number choice |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Transfer Mode |
Registering or logging in opens your dmABS Affiliate site, showing the dealer registration screen. The prospect can then continue registering as a dealer. |
| Self-Contained Mode |
Registering or logging in opens a dealer registration view in the same iframe, and the customer can continue registering as a dealer without leaving your website. |
Target window
NB: This setting applies if you've selected Affiliate Transfer Mode. When the prospect registers with dmClub or logs into their Clubhouse, they'll be taken to your dmABS Affiliate site where they can continue registering as a dealer. This setting determines how the dmABS Affiliate window will behave when it opens.
| Target window | Modes where available | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Top | A |
New content is loaded in the browser window, replacing the previous content. |
| New | A | New content is loaded in a new browser window, or in a new browser tab, depending on the user's web browser preferences. |
| New-force | A | New content is loaded in a new browser window, never in a new browser tab, and the user's web browser preferences are ignored. |
Width
Specify the width of the Dealer Signup eComponent, in pixels or as a percentage. 570px is recommended as a minimum width.
Height
Specify the height of the Dealer Signup eComponent, in pixels. 900px is recommended as a minimum height.
Dealer type
Decide whether you want to recruit dealers using our 'Classic' dealer model, or the new 'Associate' model. NB: 'Classic' dealerships will no longer be available following the next release.
Initial view
This controls the first view of the eComponent seen by potential new dealers: the new user registration form or customer login form.
If you're embedding the Dealer Signup in a location on your site where it will be viewed mostly by existing dmClub customers, then you can shorten the signup process for them by displaying the login first. Otherwise, use the new user registration setting.
