Renting out a shop

I'v built a shop on a parcel of land, and placed a rental box outside, once the customer pays for rental what is the next best procedure to follow so the customer can place items in the shop immediately without auto return, obviously they need to be added to a group but can this be done automatically? without me being online.

Thanks in advance.

Only an avatar can invite someone to a group. Bots are sometimes used for this, but those need to be online too.

Possibly if you have someone else who is an officer in your group to invite people.

If you're willing to have the group be open enrollment, the renter could always join on their own if you tell them which group. (Via a notecard in the rental box or whatever.)

I don't *think* most groups have problems with random people joining, but you'd want to check the membership occasionally to be sure no one's in who shouldn't be.

As a refinement of this, you can have open enrollment but charge a fairly step fee to join (like $L 500). Legitimate tenants can join and start rezzing immediately and have their fee refunded when you are next on. If random people insist on joining, the fee pays for your time to clean them out of the group.

Thanks folks thats some great info.
