What is the Customer Portal
The Customer Portal makes it easier for customers to access and manage their bookings in one place. To use it, customers need to create an account when making a booking. If they didn’t do this at the time, they can request a password reset later to set up their account.
How customers access the portal
Your customers can access the portal in a few ways:
Booking confirmation email
Customers can access the portal directly through their booking confirmation email by selecting the View booking button within the email.
For example:
This directs them straight to the portal:
Logging in directly from your page
The login option is located in the top right-hand corner of your public page:
When selected, customers can log in by filling out their email address and password before selecting Log in:
Logging in directly from our main marketing page
Customers can log in via our main marketing page: www.bookwhen.com. The login option is located in the top right-hand corner of the page:

What customers can do within the portal
The portal has four main sections:
Events
Customers can switch between the available tabs:
Upcoming: Shows all upcoming bookings.
Waiting list: Displays any events where the customer is on a waiting list.

Rebooking
Customers can select the Options drop-down menu to review the event and order details, booking form responses, find the event organiser information and book again.
The Book again option redirects them to the public page where they booked the ticket.
Past
The Past events tab shows whether the event was cancelled, the customer's attendance status, and who they attended with. Any highlighted names with a person icon next to them indicate a child attendee:
💡 Please note:
If you have the attendance tracking feature enabled on your account, attendees will be automatically marked as attended, though you may still need to manually mark attendance for some.
If you do not have the attendance tracking feature, the status will appear as Booked.

Event details: Opens the event details for review.
