This article explains how to enable payments for dealers. This only includes showing the payments on the SRP/VDP, not adding a disclaimer/hover to show terms. For that information, please see [ARTICLE NAME].
Conditions that need to be met
In order for payments to be enabled on a dealer site, we must first confirm with the dealer that their financing terms are correct and up to date. The payments will be based on whatever financing terms they have in their Pricing tab on the domain node. If they don’t have terms, or they need to be updated, this must be completed first – otherwise incorrect payments will show on units. For more on how to set these up, see Adding & Adjusting Financing Terms.
Additionally, dealer should be aware of the following:
Payment calculation will include taxes and fees, if this information is added to the terms, it will count in the total price of the vehicle and be added to the payments. If they want this to be separated, they need to add a separate disclaimer noting the taxes/fees.
There is no disclaimer that comes with enabling payments by default. If dealer has specifics about a disclaimer that needs to display with payments, it needs to be provided so that FED can add a disclaimer next to the payments.
Payments will show on any unit that has financing terms by default. If dealer needs to hide payments on specific inventory, we can use CSS to hide the payments area on specific types/manufacturers only (no individual stock numbers).
If dealer is aware of all of the above and ready to proceed, we can enable payments.

Turning payments on is actually very simple once the dealer is ready to go. Simply navigate to the domain’s Pricing tab, and scroll down until you find the “Show Payments Around” section.
To turn this on, simply check the check box, and hit Save and publish.
CSS Styling
Once the feature is enabled, we should double check to make sure the default styling of the text on the site looks okay and doesn’t sit strangely on the SRP/VDP. The dealer may also have specified some sort of request for how they’d like this feature to look (i.e. “make the payment amount orange”, “increase the font size to make it stand out”, etc.). We can adjust this with CSS/JS.
There are a variety of ways we can change the look of this. We can also change the “From”/”Payments From” text to something else. Some examples below:
Generally, we should be taking any dealer requests into consideration when we style this, but if there are no requests, just make sure the font does not overlap at different sizes/when switching from List to Grid Mode.
