Overview
Aurora Solar is excited to announce a new financing integration with GoodLeap. You can now configure your GoodLeap account and connect it directly with your Aurora account within Sales Mode.
Once the integration has been configured within Aurora all of your GoodLeap loans will appear in Sales Mode as financing options. With this integration you can:
- Conduct a soft credit check on behalf of the homeowner and apply for a loan from Aurora’s Sales Mode quickly;
- Show the homeowner GoodLeap loan products in approved language;
- Say goodbye to manual data entry into the GoodLeap Portal, and the need to manually manage your GoodLeap products in Aurora.
Process Overview
- Step 1: You can submit a credit application within Aurora’s Sales Mode for your homeowner. Note, this will result in a soft credit pull only.
- Step 2: When the homeowner is approved for credit, the loan documents will be sent via email to the homeowner.
- Step 3: When the homeowner navigates to their email, they will see a link and click to navigate to the loan documents, and are able to apply for a loan within GoodLeap.
