Deleting customer profiles

Important restrictions

Customers with installed cards cannot be deleted directly. You must first delete the card from their profile.

Deleting customers without installed cards

If the card status shows "Uninstalled" or "Deleted":

  1. Navigate to the Customers screen

  2. Select the customer from the list

  3. Click the Actions tab at the top

  4. Select Delete Customer

  5. Confirm deletion

Deleting customers with installed cards

Step 1: Delete the card from the profile

  2. Locate the card status

  3. Click the pencil icon next to the card status

  4. Click Delete in the pop-up

  5. Confirm deletion

Important: This action does not remove the card from the customer's phone. The customer must manually delete it themselves. However, the card will no longer function even if left on their device.

Step 2: Delete the customer profile

  1. Return to the customer list

  2. Select the customer (card status now shows "Deleted")

  3. Click the Actions tab

  4. Select Delete Customer

  5. Confirm deletion

Warning messages

If you attempt to delete a customer with an installed card, you'll see a warning message. This is normal system behavior to protect active customer data. Follow the two-step process above to complete the deletion.


Issuing cards to customers

From the Actions menu

  1. Select one or more customers from the list

  2. Click the Actions tab

  3. Select Issue Cards

  4. Choose the card template

  5. Configure card settings (points, expiration, etc.)

  6. Choose delivery method (SMS/email)

  7. Send to selected customers

This allows you to issue loyalty cards to existing customers in bulk.


Customer segmentation

Why use segments?

Segments help you organize customers into groups for targeted marketing and communication. Examples:

  • High-value customers

  • Inactive customers

  • New customers

  • Birthday month customers

  • Customers from specific UTM sources

Creating custom segments

  1. Navigate to the My Segments tab

  2. Define segment criteria (visit frequency, spending, cards owned, etc.)

  3. Save the segment

  4. Use for targeted communications

RFM segmentation

Automatic customer grouping based on:

  • Recency: How recently they visited

  • Frequency: How often they visit

  • Monetary: How much they spend

The system automatically categorizes customers into segments like:

  • Champions (high on all metrics)

  • Loyal customers

  • At-risk customers

  • Lost customers

Use RFM segments to identify which customers need attention or rewards.


Best practices

Keep profiles updated: Regularly update customer information to ensure accurate communication and marketing.

Use custom fields: Add custom fields relevant to your business (preferences, notes, membership levels, etc.).

Monitor transaction history: Review customer activity to identify trends and opportunities.

Segment strategically: Create segments that align with your marketing and retention strategies.

Export regularly: Back up your customer database by exporting periodically.

Clean your database: Remove duplicate or inactive profiles to maintain data quality.
