The 'Contact Us' Form can be set up on your website so your clients can enter their contact details and have them transferred to Mercury, creating an Asset Finance Opportunity record.
How does it work?
The Contact us form allows visitors to enter information into your website, and have it transferred directly to Mercury. Your Web Developer must implement these forms on your website.
The Contact us form also has an inbuilt Honeypot script that stops spambots from submitting the form.
What is a Honeypot script?
A honeypot is a field that's been added to the form that the customers can’t see (or populate), but spambots will.
So when a spambot completes the form and populates the hidden field, we know that a valid customer did not complete the form and we can confidently reject the form as spam.
Honeypots are also great because they don’t inconvenience customers like a captcha!
