Sharing the Fulfillment Form

- Customer Involvement: Once you share the form, your customer receives an email and can access the form to help you fill it out. They can also save progress in case they need to consult other stakeholders at their business or complete it at a later time.
- Updates from Customers: From your end, you can see the updates your customer makes.
- Business App Access: Any Business App user with permission to view the Orders tab will be able to view and edit the fulfillment form regardless of whether or not it has been shared with them.
Note: Sharing can only be done by Partner Center Admins and Salespeople. Business App users will not be able to share the form.

- Click Actions and select Create order
- Click + Add items and select the Marketing Services product(s) you wish to include in the order

When ready, your salesperson can submit the order for admin approval and activation.
- Go to Sales & Success Center > Accounts
