See SecureMFP →The Shop is the e-commerce marketplace FordDirect built specifically for Ford Dealers and Lincoln Retailers. Every vendor on The Shop has cleared FordDirect's vetting process across product performance, security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. Botdoc is a preferred vendor on that list, and procurement runs through the same workflow your dealership already uses for every other FordDirect-approved tool.
Botdoc passed FordDirect's preferred-vendor evaluation across product, security, privacy, and compliance. The same vetting Ford uses for any tool that touches its dealer network.
Buy through The Shop the same way you buy every other vetted tool. No separate contract negotiation, no separate vendor onboarding. Dealer principals and GMs authorize purchases through familiar channels.
The Shop runs on FordDirect's pre-negotiated pricing and contract terms. Discounts may be available for FordDirect-managed dealerships and FordDirect program participants.
The Shop is the procurement path. The product underneath is identical to what Botdoc ships through every other channel. Same SDT Engine, same integration surface, same FTC Safeguards Rule alignment that automotive dealerships report against on the compliance side of the operation.
Connect, Lite, ID Verify, and SecureMFP sit alongside FordDirect's other preferred-vendor solutions on The Shop. Buy what you need, when you need it, from one trusted source.
Buying through The Shop does not change the product, the integration, or the Botdoc support relationship. You get the same SDT Engine that powers Botdoc's largest enterprise automotive customers.
Every Botdoc product on The Shop is built for FTC Safeguards Rule compliance for automotive dealerships. The transport layer is the compliance layer, not a bolt-on.
Three steps from interested dealer to running Botdoc inside your dealership. The procurement happens inside The Shop using FordDirect's existing checkout, eligibility, and discount infrastructure. Botdoc handles the technical onboarding once the purchase clears, including CRM and DMS integration for Connect, fast turn-up for Lite, and the ID Verify and SecureMFP rollouts on the same engagement.
Browse the Botdoc Connect, Botdoc Lite, ID Verify, and SecureMFP listings on theshop.com. Each product has its own page with pricing, configuration options, and FordDirect's terms.
Add the products you need, configure them for your dealership, and complete the purchase through The Shop's checkout. FordDirect handles the procurement workflow and confirms eligibility for discounts.
Once the purchase clears, Botdoc's team contacts your dealership directly for integration and onboarding. Connect ties into your CRM and DMS. Lite goes live in hours. ID Verify and SecureMFP follow.
FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) puts the dealership on the hook for in-transit encryption of customer financial data. That includes driver's license images, credit applications, F&I document packages, and anything else moving between the dealership and the consumer. Every Botdoc product on The Shop is built so the encryption and the verification happen inside the same SDT Engine flow, with the same audit trail, the same patented architecture, and the same compliance evidence available the day the purchase clears procurement.
The transport is the compliance. Every document is encrypted in motion. Every verification check is logged. No customer credentials in the dealership environment. No vendor hand-offs that create an unaudited gap. The compliance review during the next state DMV examination, captive lender audit, or FTC inquiry is faster because the chain of custody is one system, not three separate vendors stitched together.
Browse the Botdoc products on The Shop and add what fits your dealership to the cart, or talk to the Botdoc team first to scope the right configuration before you buy. Most Ford and Lincoln dealerships start with Botdoc Connect or Lite for the F&I and sales workflow, add Botdoc ID Verify for the driver's-license capture and real-time identity check inside the F&I packet, and add SecureMFP to close the FTC Safeguards Rule audit gap on any document the dealership's MFP scans. The Botdoc team can map the right combination for your dealership size and integration footprint, then route the purchase back to The Shop for FordDirect to process.
