What is the Customer Portal
The Customer Portal was designed to streamline how customers can access and manage their bookings in one place.
To access it, they need to ensure they create an account when they make a booking (if they didn't create an account when making a booking, they can request a password reset to create the account later).
How customers access it
Your customers can access the portal in a few ways:
Directly from their booking confirmation email
Logging in directly from your page
Visiting our signup page
1. Booking confirmation email
Customers can access the portal directly through their booking confirmation email by selecting View booking within the email:
This directs them straight to the portal:
2. Logging in directly from your page
The login option is located in the top right-hand corner of your public page:
When selected, they can log in by filling out their email address and password before selecting Log in:
3. Logging in directly from our main marketing page: www.bookwhen.com

What customers can do within the portal
The portal has four main sections:
1. Events
Customers can view their upcoming, cancelled and past bookings, as well as any waiting lists they've joined, by toggling between the options:
Upcoming
Under the upcoming tab, customers can select Manage to manage their booking:
This allows them to transfer/cancel their ticket (depending on your settings).
Transfer ticket
When they select Transfer ticket, their first option is to choose the event they wish to transfer to:
Then select the ticket they'd like to transfer to:
And finally, they have an opportunity to review their transfer details, before selecting Confirm to action the transfer:
Cancel ticket
When they select Cancel ticket, a pop-up appears for them to confirm the cancellation. If they'd like to proceed, they can select Confirm.
Customers can also select Options to review the event and order details, booking form responses, find your information and book again.
The Book again option redirects them to the public page where they booked the ticket.
Past
The past events show whether the event was cancelled, their attendance status and who they attended with (any highlighted names with a person icon next to them indicate a child attendee):
π‘ Please note:
We automatically mark the attendees as attended if you have the attendance tracking feature on your account but still need to mark their attendance).
If you do not currently have the attendance tracking feature on your account, the status will show as Booked:
They can also use the Book again button to visit your public page to rebook, and the Options drop-down menu to review the event and order details, booking form field responses and your contact information.
Waiting list
Under the Waiting list tab, they can select Options to open the event details and the option to leave the list.
