Activating Amazon for a client

This article explains how to activate the Amazon add-on integration for a client.

Please note:

  • Only a senior account manager, or non-senior who is either the client’s named account manager or part of the same account manager and client group, can activate Amazon for a client. The practice’s default settings, or the client’s add-on settings, must be set to the practice pays. It’s not possible for an account manager to activate an add-on if it’s set as the client pays.

  • The practice’s default add-on subscription settings will determine whether the client or practice will pay for the subscription once it’s activated, unless the default settings have been overridden for the client.

  • If the client is paying for the subscription, it will cost them £6 per month plus VAT in addition to their FreeAgent subscription and the payments will be taken monthly.

  • If the practice is paying for the subscription, the cost will depend on the practice’s discount and the practice will be billed in arrears for the add-on in the next month's invoice.

  • It’s only possible for the practice to pay for the add-on if the client account has been transferred to the dashboard and the practice is managing their FreeAgent subscription. If the client is managing their FreeAgent subscription and their account has been linked to the dashboard, the client will have to pay for the add-on.
