We know you want to provide the best support to your customers. That’s why, as a provider, you can view and help manage their account details directly from the Customers tab in your dashboard.

‍

Who appears in your customers list?

Any customer who has ever placed an order with your business will automatically show up in your Customers list. You can access a customer’s profile by clicking their name from the Customers tab or anywhere else you see it — like in an order or roster.

What you can do from a customer’s profile

Manage a customer’s payment method

You can help your customers manage their saved payment method. Some notes:

  • You can add, update, or delete their saved card.
  • Keep in mind, only one card can be saved per customer.
  • Customers will get an automatic email notification whenever their payment method is added, updated, or deleted.

‍

⚠️ Important: When you add a card to a customer’s profile on their behalf, it’s your responsibility to make sure the customer understands and agree that:
‍
• Guildara will automatically charge the card for any pending payment installments.
• Any provider they register with will have the ability to issue charges to their saved card when needed.

‍

Manage a customer’s account information (Name, email, phone and password)

At Guildara, we prioritize the security of every customer’s account — and while that can sometimes add a bit of friction, it’s designed to keep their information safe.

‍

Here’s what you can help with:

  • Name: Fix typos, spelling mistakes, or last name changes.
  • Email:
    • You can edit a customer’s email address only if it hasn’t been verified yet.
    • If the email is still unverified, you’ll see the option to send a verification email to confirm the new address.
    • Once verified, the customer is the only one who can change their email — this protects their account access and prevents mistakes or fraud.
  • Password: You can’t change a customer’s password for them. But if they’ve forgotten it, you can easily send a password reset link their way so they can set up a new password securely.

‍

What you can't change:

  • Phone Number: For privacy and security, only the customer can update their phone number from their own account. This ensures that phone numbers — often used for log in — remain fully under their control. We know this might feel limiting at times, but these measures are important to keep customer data secure — for you, for them, and for every provider on Guildara.

Manage a customer’s participants

In the customer’s profile, you’ll see all the participants linked to their account — usually the kids or other family members they added to register for an activity.

You can:

  • Add, edit, or delete participants.

However, because we need to make sure important data is not deleted from Guildara records, you won’t be able to delete a participant if they:

  • Have confirmed or canceled orders.
  • Have applied for scholarships.
  • Have ever joined a waitlist.

Also, when you edit a participant’s name, the update will apply everywhere in Guildara — across all providers and activities where that participant is registered. We recommend using this to fix typos only. If your customer meant to register a different person, it’s better to:

‍

A note about global changes:
‍

Changes made to a customer’s profile are global across Guildara. This means:
• The customer
will see the updated information in their account.
• Other providers
the customer engages with will also see the updated details.

Always confirm with your customer before making sensitive changes like names or email addresses.
