Potential Errors When Resending Invitations

When attempting to resend an invitation, you might encounter one of the following error messages:

1. "This user has already begun the onboarding process"

  • This error indicates the payee may already have a PaymentWorks account or has started their onboarding process.

2. "An invitation was previously sent to this email address"

  • This means the payee received an invitation but may not have created an account yet.

Troubleshooting Common Errors

If you encounter one of these error messages, here’s how to resolve them:

Determine if the payee has an existing account in PaymentWorks for your organization:

  1. Log in to your PaymentWorks account.
  2. Navigate to Vendor Master Updates.
  3. Select the New Vendors tab.
  4. From the upper-left corner, choose Onboarding Tracker from the "Show" dropdown menu.
  5. Use the filter options to search for the payee’s account.

What to Do Next:

  • If the payee’s account is not found, reach out to your customer to confirm the payee doesn’t already have an existing PaymentWorks account registered under a different name.
  • If the payee’s account is found, check the registration progress and remind the payee to complete their registration if they haven’t done so.
