Customer Portal

The Customer Portal allow your customers to directly manage their billing relationship, view and pay invoices, and more, so that you can streamline your billing relationship with your customers.

Through the portal, customers can:

  • See an at-a-glance view of their active subscriptions and the products they own
  • View a copy of their most recent Quote
  • View, download, and pay invoices
  • View and update key billing details and contacts, including PO number, VAT number, and registration number
  • View and update payment methods

Customize the Portal Experience

Record Automation provides granular control to admins to customize the customer portal experience for all, or specific, customers. Use it to set rules that control what customers on a specific account or Bill Group can see and do in the portal, without changing the experience for everyone else.

By default, every section below in the customer portal is visible and editable to any users provisioned access. Record Automation rules only need to be configured to further restrict access.

Portal Access and Scope

The Customer Portal is scoped to a Bill Group.

  • Each Bill Group has its own portal access settings
  • If a customer has multiple Bill Groups, access must be configured separately for each one

How to Set Up Customer Portal Access

Step 1: Open the Bill Group

This billing portal is available for any customers that have an active contract.

  1. Navigate to the Account Overview or a specific Bill Group.
  2. Click on the "Customer Portal" button
  3. Choose which email domains or individual email addresses have access to the portal for this account
  4. Click "Copy Portal Link"

Step 2: Grant Access

You can grant access in two ways:

  • Domain Access
    • Allow all users from a specific domain to access the portal.
    • Example: company.com
      • Any user with an email from that domain can sign in.
  • Individual Email Access
    • Grant access to specific email addresses.
      • Enter the email address
    • Click Add to include additional users
    • Note: Email addresses must be added individually and cannot be comma-separated.
📘

The system prevents overlapping access rules. For example, you cannot add an email address if its domain is already granted access.

Step 3: Share the Portal Link

Once access is configured:

  • Copy the Customer Portal link
  • Share it with your customer

How Customers Sign In

When a customer opens the portal link:

  1. They enter their email address
  2. They receive a verification email
  3. They click the verification link to sign in

No password is required.

Previewing What Your Customer Will See

You can use the Preview Portal button (from the Bill Group) to see the portal exactly as your customer will experience it, prior to sharing the link with your customer.
