# Using the FFV (French Sailing Federation) module

The **FFV** module automates license verification and subscription directly from the **Yoplanning.pro** interface. It allows your clients to check the status of their current license in real time and facilitates the acquisition of new licenses (such as the Sailing Passport) during the booking process.

***

### Accessing and using the FFV functionality

#### Customer side: In the booking module

The module integrates seamlessly into your customers' purchasing journey on your website or your dedicated **booking module**.

1. The customer selects their activity and arrives at the options stage.
2. When he chooses an option of type "FFV Licence", a verification button appears.
3. The customer can then query the **French Sailing Federation** database to find out if they need to purchase a new license.
4. The system indicates whether a valid license already exists.
5. After payment, the customer receives two emails:
   * The standard order confirmation.
   * A specific **FFV** email containing a link to fill in the information required to obtain the final license.

#### On the operator's side: In the Back Office

You can track the license status of your participants directly from your administration interface.

1. Go to the **Sessions** section of the main menu.
2. Check your list of participants.
3. An **FFV** logo is visible next to the customer's name: it turns **green** as soon as the license is officially valid and the form has been completed.

### Counter License Management

If you make a direct sale without going through the customer booking module, you cannot check the license status beforehand in the order form, but you can finalize the procedure manually.

#### Check a license at the counter

To check if a customer already has an active license before selling them a product:

1. Go to the **Administration** menu and then **Booking Module** on the left.
2. Use this interface (identical to the one used by clients) to test the client's eligibility in real time.

#### Finalize a license sold manually

If you have manually added a license option to an order in the back office:

1. Go to the **Commands** section.
2. Click on the **Articles** tab at the top of the page.
3. Locate the line corresponding to the license.
4. Click on the **"three small dots"** menu to the right of the line.
5. Select the option to access the form that the customer must complete for the license to be effective.

***

### Usage tips and best practices

* **Mandatory data**: For querying the **FFV** database to work, ensure that the customer's record includes: **Last Name**, **First Name**, **Date of Birth** and **Gender** (male or female).
* **Customer Follow-up**: If a customer has not received their completion link, go to their **Order**, click on the **"three dots"** menu in the top right corner and choose **"Send by email"**. This will resend the order and the specific license email.
* **Installation**: This guide concerns usage. If the module is not yet active on your account, see [our article on installing the FFV module](/en/yoplanning-academy/yoplanning-parametrage/gestion-des-options-ressources-materielles-et-immaterielles/procedure-de-connexion-a-la-federation-francaise-de-voile-ffv.md).

### Common mistakes and solutions

#### The FFV logo does not turn green

* **Cause**: The customer has paid for their license but has not yet completed the additional form via the link received by email.
* **Solution**: Invite the customer to check their emails or fill out the form with them via the **Items** tab of the order (three dots menu).

#### Unable to verify license (Incomplete data)

* **Cause**: A key piece of information is missing from the customer record.
* **Solution**: Check that the name, surname, date of birth and gender are correctly entered in your **Team** customer file.

#### The customer already has a license, but the system cannot find it.

* **Cause**: Often a typo in the name or an error in the date of birth.
* **Solution**: Verify the accuracy of the information entered against the customer's identity document.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yoplanning.support/en/yoplanning-academy/yoplanning-au-quotidien/modules-complementaires/utilisation-du-module-ffv-federation-francaise-de-voile.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
