The VanillaPOS Customer Portal gives customers a secure place to manage their payment information and view billing activity without needing access to the VanillaPOS Admin Dashboard.

From the Customer Portal, customers can manage saved payment methods, review their subscriptions, and view or pay invoices.

Manage payment methods

From Payment Methods, customers can view the cards currently saved to their account.

They can:

  • Add a new payment method

  • Remove an existing payment method

  • Choose which payment method should be their default

Their default payment method will be used where applicable for future payments.

View subscriptions

The Customer Portal allows customers to view the subscriptions associated with their account.

For each subscription, they can review its details and update the payment method associated with it.

Change a subscription’s payment method

If a customer wants a subscription to use a different saved payment method, they can open the subscription and select the payment method they would like to use.

Changing the payment method for a subscription does not cancel or otherwise modify the subscription.

Note: Subscriptions cannot currently be canceled through the Customer Portal. If a customer needs to cancel a subscription, they should contact you / the business directly for assistance.

View and pay invoices

The Customer Portal also provides access to invoices associated with their account.

From the invoice area, they can:

  • View their invoices

  • Review an invoice’s payment status

  • Pay an outstanding invoice

  • Access the invoice for their records

  • Use the available payment link to complete payment

Once an invoice has been paid, its updated payment information will be reflected in the portal.
