Connecting your revenue accounts

Clearco uses a data-driven approach to generate your funding capacity. Our system reads your e-commerce sales data to determine your funding capacity.

During the sign-up process, you must connect at least one e-commerce sales platform that indicates you are generating greater than $100,000/month consistently over 6+ months. These connections will allow our system to generate your funding capacity.

Clearco relies on your connected e-commerce platforms to provide you with funding capacity. The more accounts you connect, the more accurate your funding capacity will be for your business!

 

How to connect an E-commerce Platform: 

  • Login to your Clearco Dashboard.
  • On the Homepage, click Revenue Sources in the left navigation
  • Enter your account credentials or store name and follow the prompts to connect.
    • Ensure that your browser’s pop-up blocker is disabled because the above prompt will trigger a window for you to log in.

 

Platforms currently available on Clearco:

Integrated Sales Platforms:

  • Shopify
  • Amazon Seller Central
  • Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Authorize.net
  • BigCommerce
  • BrainTree
  • Square

 

Adding multiple accounts from the same platform

If your business uses 2 or more accounts on the same e-commerce platform (ex. multiple Shopify stores) connect one of your accounts first, and once you have completed all the sign-up requirements, proceed back to the Home Page, then select Connect Accounts and follow the exact instructions above as many times as needed until all your accounts are connected.

 

Common Connections:

Shopify

To connect your Shopify account: 

  • Login to your Clearco Dashboard 

  • On the Homepage, select the Shopify tile

  • Click Add Store 

    • This will open a new window, ensure any ad blockers are disabled

  • Select Install Shopify App Store listing to install the Clearco app

Amazon

To connect your Amazon account: 

  • Select Amazon from the Account Connections page.
  • Ensure the correct Amazon Marketplace Region is selected (to change the Marketplace Region, select "Change").
  • Click Login with Amazon, and enter your username and password to securely connect Amazon to Clearco.

Once you’ve connected your Amazon account we’ll begin importing your sales data (we do not send any data back to your store). Typically, the import process can take between 24-48 hours. That said, the speed that we sync your data depends on a few different factors:

  • Most sales platforms define the speed at which we sync your data. We sync as quickly as we’re allowed to.
  • Bigger sales histories can take a little longer.

I've connected; what happens next?
Once you’ve connected your e-commerce account(s) we’ll begin syncing your data (we don’t send anything back to your store). Typically, the process will take between 24-48 hours, and we sync as quickly as we’re allowed to, but bigger sales histories can take a little longer. Sit back and relax whilst we do the heavy lifting, and we will notify you when the sync is complete!  If you encounter any problems, our Technical Support Team is on hand to help via support@clear.co.

What if my e-commerce account(s) disconnects?
If your e-commerce connection(s) to Clearco disconnect, you will be prompted to complete your funding application, until that account(s) are reconnected. These platform connections are crucial for Clearco to understand your business’ revenue history.  Sometimes, disconnected accounts can also occur due to a password change on the respective platform. If this happens, click Reconnect and relink the platform based on the steps included above.
