Sharing Minutes Between Accounts

Follow the steps below if you want to share billable minutes between multiple accounts.

There are two prerequisites for sharing minutes:

• The Wordly accounts you want to share minutes with must already exist.

• If you intend on manually sharing minutes between multiple accounts, you’ll need more than one web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc) installed on your computer so that you can log in to both accounts simultaneously.

  • If you attempt to use the same browser to log into another account, Wordly will automatically sign you out of the current active account.
    
    

Sharing minutes

When you first login to Wordly, you’ll automatically start on the Dashboard:

1. Move the mouse cursor to the left side of the screen

2. Click on Accounts ( ):

   
   
   

3. From the Accounts page, click on + Add Account ( ) in the top right corner:

   
   
   This will open up the Add Account window:

   

4. Enter a Title and Description for the pre-existing account you want to share minutes with.

   Caution

   Avoid checking the Set as Default box, as this will change your default account to the one you’re adding.

5. Click Save ( ) when ready.
   
   

6. With the account added, click Transfer Minutes ( ) in the top right corner. This will open up the Transfer Minutes window:
   
   
   
   

7. In the From Account dropdown, choose your current account if it’s not already selected.

8. In the To Account dropdown, choose the pre-existing account you just added in step 5.

9. In the Minutes Dropdown, enter the number of minutes that you want to share and click Transfer ( ).
   
   

10. Click Share ( ) to open the Share Account window:
    
    
    
    

11. In the Share Account window, enter the email address associated with the pre-existing account you want to share minutes with, and click Share ( ).

    Note

    No actual email is sent during this step. This is a verification process to ensure the minutes are going to the correct account.

    If successful, you’ll see that the account has been sent an invitation to share minutes:

    

    • Click the edit button ( ) to edit the account information.

    • Click the white trashcan button ( ) to delete the account.

    • Click the book button ( ) to go to the Transactions page.

    • Click the shopping cart button ( ) to go to the Purchase page and buy more minutes.

    • Click the send icon button ( ) to send another invitation to the account.

    • Click the black trashcan button ( ) to cancel the invitation.
      
      

12. Open up your alternative web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc) and log in to the account you shared minutes with. You’ll automatically start on the Wordly Dashboard:

    • Also Note the bell icon the top right corner of the screen, indicating you have a new alert.
      
      
      
      

13. Click the bell icon to open the Alerts page and see the invitation:
    
    
    
    

    Note

    If you want your alternative account to use the shared minutes, make sure to check the Set as Default box at this point. If you create multiple accounts, you’ll need to switch whichever account will be using the shared minutes to be the default for the duration of the session.

14. Click Accept ( ), and then Yes on the following confirmation dialogue box:
    
    

15. In the following window, click the Resolved check box to close the issue and remove the alert from the account:
    
    

16. You’ve now successfully shared minutes between accounts. Return to the Dashboard to see your updated minutes on the left side of the screen. In the example below, there are now 2827 minutes available.
