# Creating an Auto-Pay Acknowledgment

### Add a new acknowledgment

To add a new stored credential acknowledgment:

* Navigate to Company Settings > Acknowledgements. Click "+ New Acknowledgement."
* Select the **Auto-Pay** acknowledgment type
* Fill out the remaining fields

#### Field Definitions

| Acknowledgment Type    | This should be set to **Auto-Pay**                           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Name                   | The name of the acknowledgment for internal purposes only.   |
| Text                   | The verbiage to display next to the acknowledgment checkbox. |
| Field Required Message | N/A for Auto-Pay as it is an optional field.                 |

### Purpose

If the ability to control Auto-Pay is enabled on a user's profile, and an Auto-Pay Acknowledgment is assigned, then the Auto-Pay checkbox will be displayed when a user does the following:

1. Adds a new payment method to their account
2. Pays an invoice with a new payment method
3. Turns the Auto-Pay toggle ON

The checkbox will not be displayed if using an existing payment method or using to toggle to turn Auto-Pay OFF.

This way end users are aware of what it means to sign up for Auto-Pay and there is an audit of their agreement for legal purposes.

### Profile Configurations

The Auto-Pay acknowledgment gets assigned to user cohorts at the profile level.

Navigate to:

* Users > Profiles > Actions > Edit > Configurations > Payment Methods > Auto Pay Acknowledgement

All Auto-Pay acknowledgments will appear in a drop-down list to choose from.

### Logging

You can track a user's acknowledgments by "Viewing" the user in the administrator user's list. This will show an audit log of when the customer agreed to the Auto-Pay terms to opt in to Auto-Pay.
