Modifying Customer and Subscription Information

You can manage your subscription and customer details inside Ordergroove. In this guide, we'll go through where to find and edit customer profiles, subscription information, and order details. 

 


Overview

Your Ordergroove Admin maintains a robust Customer Service Tool under the Data tab on the Customers page. Below is a walkthrough on how to navigate and implement this tool to manage customer, subscription, and communications data:

We recommend that you first attempt to use the ‘Login on Behalf of’ tool to make changes to a customer account if your eCommerce platform allows for this option. Because our Customer Service tool permits advanced edits that may be outside the scope of your subscriber settings, trying the ‘Login on Behalf of’ tool first will ensure any changes remain within your established business settings. 

Note: If you host the shipping and/or payment information, you will not be able to commit changes to this data in Ordergroove. An edit form will still be visible for these sections, but an attempt to save changes will prompt an error message and leave the selected record unaltered.


Searching for an existing subscriber

You can search for existing subscribers right in Ordergroove.

  1. Open up Ordergroove.
  2. On the top toolbar, select Data > Customers.
  3. You can search for a subscriber by Name, Email, Phone Number, or Customer ID - referred to as Merchant ID by your eCommerce platform. For specific details on how search works, take a look down below the example image.
  4. Once locate the subscriber you're looking for, click their name to open a new page with their account information.

Search criteria

You can perform a search with the customer’s first or last name, but a partial entry won’t display any results. For example, if the subscriber account lists “Stuart” as the first name, searching for “Stu” will not return a result for that subscriber. The same rule applies to email addresses. Any phone number format (i.e. xxxxxxxxx, xxx-xxx-xxxx or (xxx)xxx-xxx) will return a result, as long as it represents the full number listed in the account. 

If the subscriber does not appear in the search results using one of the methods listed, please attempt another search with a different identifier, as the subscriber may have submitted the form with a typo or used a different email or phone number from the one you have in your records. 


Customer Details

After you've searched for a customer you want to view or edit, click on their name to open up the Customer Details page. From there you can view or edit their information, shipping details, payment information, and more.

Viewing Subscriber Details

After clicking into the subscriber’s account, you will have access to all the information pertinent to their account, including customer ID, payment records, addresses, order history, subscriptions and account history. 

The first section on the Subscriber Details page lists the subscriber’s name and activity status, number of months enrolled in the program, the total dollar amount spent since joining as a subscriber, total activity(number of orders), and time since their last order.

Viewing Customer(Subscriber) Information

Editing Payment

Note: If you (the client) host your shipping and/or payment information, you will not be able to commit changes to this data in Ordergroove.  An edit form will still be visible for these sections, but an attempt to save changes will prompt an error message and leave the selected record unaltered. 

If Ordergroove hosts your payment information, follow the steps below to edit an existing payment or create a new payment method: 

  • Editing an Existing Payment Record:
    You can only update the expiration month, expiration year, and personal information (address, phone, etc.) for existing records. Below are the steps to make those edits. 

    • Select Manage in the Customer Information section; in the panel that appears, scroll down to the Payment section and select Edit next to the payment record you wish to update

      mceclip19.png

mceclip21.png

    • The section will expand to allow you to add the new credit card’s information, including the credit card number itself.  Fill in the fields that appear and click Save.  If the new card is to be used as payment for all the customer’s subscriptions, tick the Use For All checkbox and then click Save.

      When creating a new credit card record, you do not need to add payment token information--it will appear after the required fields are filled out and saved.  Address information for new cards is required. 
      Do not check the Contains Billing Address box. If this box is checked then the payment record will be missing the billing address, which will cause issues when trying to use the card in the future. 

  • Deleting an Existing Payment Record:
    Follow the steps to edit a payment record and select Delete Payment at the bottom of the selected payment record. A modal will appear asking you to confirm. Once confirmed, the payment record will no longer appear in the account. 

Note: This procedure will prevent the payment record from displaying in a customer account, but will not completely remove it from the system. If a subscriber wishes to be “forgotten” per GDPR or CCPA, a different procedure must be followed. Please click here to learn how to remove a subscriber from Ordergroove’s system according to the standards set by GDPR and CCPA.
