# Navigating the Buyer Portal  
Edited 2 years ago  
The [Buyer Portal](http://pay.slope.so/) is your one-stop shop for managing your Slope loans, eligibility and payments. Any customer can access their portal any time at [pay.slopepay.com.](http://pay.slope.so/)

This tour of the Buyer Portal will review the following actions:

- Setting up your account
- Account metrics
- Repaying a loan early (and the benefits!)
- Adding new payment methods or updating your payment method
- Checking and managing with your eligibility
- Managing SMS notifications
- Placing orders with Slope Pay

### Setting up your account  
  
To qualify with financing for Slope, you'll need to complete our application, which takes only a few minutes. Select _Complete the form_ under _Tell us about your business_ to open the application.

If you exit the financing application before you complete, you'll see your accent setup section expand with two other tasks. If the checkmarks are green, you're good to go! Grey checkmarks indicate we're waiting on you to take an action.

You also may see the option to _Apply for Bill Pay_, if you're a Slope Pay customer. Slope Bill Pay enables you to pay with ACH or credit card and finance all your bills from one platform.

### Account metrics  
  
View your real-time outstanding balance, available financing limit and available credit any time on your Buyer Portal.

If you have loans to repay in the next 30 days, you'll see the balance due.

### Repaying a loan early (and the benefits!)  
Save on borrowing fees by repaying your Slope loans early! Your fees will be prorated based on the number of days borrowed.

Find the loan you'd like to repay early on the homepage of your portal with the amount or order number. Click _View Order._

Your order detail page will open. You have two options to a) Make a payment or b) Change your payment method. Navigate to these options by clicking the menu on left.

You have the option to make a full or partial repayment, but only full repayments will allow you to save on borrowing fees.

### Adding new payment methods or updating your payment method  
To add a new payment method, you'll need to click the menu in the upper right corner of your Buyer Portal. Select _Account_ and then _Payment Methods._

Click _Manage_ to add a credit card or link a bank account. If you can't find your bank with Plaid (search their supported institutions [here](https://plaid.com/institutions/)), then scroll to the bottom and add _Link with account numbers_ to manually verify your account to make payments.

### Checking and managing with your eligibility  
To update your application for Slope, you'll need to click the menu in the upper right corner of your Buyer Portal. Select _Eligibility Status._  
  
If you've already completed the application and would like to update it, you'll see the following screen, after selecting _Fill out application_. Click _Update your information_ to make changes to your application.

Any changes may result in a new eligibility status or amount.

### Managing SMS notifications  
To update your application for Slope, you'll need to click the menu in the upper right corner of your Buyer Portal. Select _Account_ and then _SMS Notifications._
