How to activate a ToolsUnited voucher

What you can do

Order a Tools United CRIBWISE direct account voucher and redeem it on your Tools United account, so you can import item data from the Tools United catalog into CRIBWISE.

The voucher is a 12-month add-on ordered in the Customer Management Portal. Redeeming it links the flat-rate coupon to the Tools United user that CRIBWISE will connect with.


Before you start

  • You need access to the CRIBWISE Customer Management Portal with permission to order add-ons.
  • You need a Tools United account – or the details to create one – at toolsunited.com.
  • Decide which Tools United user the voucher should belong to. The coupon is redeemed for one user.

Important: Ordering the voucher is a manual process. The voucher mail can take 1–2 working days to arrive.


Quick start

Experienced users – activate the voucher in 5 steps:

  1. Open the Customer Management Portal, menu Subscription → tab Add-ons.
  2. Choose Set new add-on and select Tools United 12 month voucher.
  3. Wait for the voucher mail (1–2 working days).
  4. Log out of Tools United, then open the link in the mail.
  5. Log in as the target Tools United user and use the flat rate coupon.

Troubleshooting

Problem Likely cause Fix
No voucher mail arrives. The voucher is issued manually and takes 1–2 working days. Wait two working days, check the requestor’s spam folder, then contact CRIBWISE support.
The coupon was redeemed on the wrong Tools United account. You were still logged in to another account when you opened the link. Log out of Tools United before opening the voucher link. Contact support to have a redeemed coupon moved.
The Use the flat rate coupon button does nothing. Required user data is missing on the Tools United account. Complete every required field on the account, then click the button again.
The Tools United 12 month voucher add-on is not listed. Your Customer Management Portal user cannot order add-ons, or the add-on is already active. Check the Add-ons tab for an existing entry, and ask an account administrator to order it.
