The essentials for getting started with Swikly.
Welcome to the Swikly quick-start guide! Its purpose is to give you all the keys to using Swikly and help you complete your registration.
On your dashboard, click on your account name in the top left-hand corner.
You have an "Account information" category in which you'll need to enter your legal and commercial information, in particular the name of your business: it's the name that will be visible to your customers when you send them the deposit requests.
Tip: optimize the impact of your deposit requests by uploading your logo, which will be displayed in the emails sent to your customers.
Still in your account information category, go to "Legal documents".
To comply with banking regulations, upload your documents. The documents required are different depending on whether you are an individual, a sole trader, a nonprofit or a company.
You will find details of the documents to be provided in our FAQ section here.
You will need to complete the "Payment method" details which you will find in the "Preferences" tab in the bottom left-hand corner.
You'll need a valid bank card to confirm your identity digitally and for monthly billing.
Last step for your registration: go to the tab "Receipt of funds" and enter the bank account to which you will receive your funds in the event of damage.
All bank cards are accepted except American Express, Diners Club International, Visa Electron, systematic authorization debit cards and prepaid bank cards.
You can send your requests directly from your dashboard by clicking on "New request" in the left-hand menu, then, depending on your activity, choose "security deposit swik" or "no-show swik".
A "security deposit swik" helps you protect a property by sending a deposit request online (without debiting or blocking funds on your customers' bank cards).
A "no-show swik" helps you avoid no-shows and guarantee your customers' attendance without charging them in advance by sending an online deposit request.

Reason for request

Dates of service

To finish, click on "Create request". And now you've sent in your first Swik request!
You're now ready to get started.
Tip: you can also create a customizable permanent link to enable you to request as many swiks as you need for a fixed amount. You can even integrate it on your website, in your ads, in your automatic e-mails...
