Your Customers section stores everyone who has ordered from you. Each customer has a profile with their contact details, order history, preferences, and any notes your team has added.

Customer types

Every customer is one of two types, set under Account Type on the customer’s edit screen. For credit customers, the customer’s edit screen also exposes payment terms, an optional account discount, and a Preferred delivery option. See Account Customers for the full setup.

Preferred delivery option

Set a Preferred delivery option on a credit customer and their orders start on that option. Your team sees it already chosen when they take an order for that shop and date, and they can pick a different one. As you open the list, each option tells you where it applies.
  • If you run more than one shop, an option names the shop it belongs to, or reads All shops.
  • An option your team can’t pick on an order is marked POS only, and one that isn’t offered at the till is marked Staff orders only.
If the option you saved can no longer be offered, the field tells you so and holds on to your choice until you change it. Your team picks an option on the order instead.

The customer profile

Opening a customer shows their contact details, notes, and a set of tabs for their related records. The header shows their name, address, email, phone number, and account type. A bell icon appears next to the name if they’ve opted out of notifications, and a yellow note banner shows any note your team has saved (for example, “Always wants pink, never red”). Below that, tabs split their related records. Loyalty appears once you’ve set up a loyalty scheme, and Forms once an enquiry has been linked to them:
  • Orders — every order they’ve placed.
  • Contacts — additional named contacts on the customer (for example, individual buyers within a hotel account).
  • Addresses — addresses saved against the customer.
  • Transactions — payments and refunds linked to the customer.
  • Notifications — the log of order and marketing emails or texts sent to them.
  • Loyalty — their stamp card, once a loyalty scheme is set up.
  • Forms — enquiry form submissions linked to this customer.

Loyalty

Open the Loyalty tab to see how far this customer has got on their stamp card. You’ll see the stamps they hold towards their next reward, any rewards waiting to be used, and when they last earned something. Their loyalty code is here too, printed big enough to read out over the phone. If they’ve lost their reward email, click the button on this tab to send it again. Where your shop ran a points scheme in the past, you’ll also see a Retired points balance here. It’s a record of what that customer had collected, and the till can’t spend it. Put any goodwill on their next order as a discount yourself. See Loyalty for how the stamp card is set up and how rewards are given.

Merging duplicate customers

If a customer ends up with two profiles (for example, one from the website and one from a phone order), you can merge them into one. See Merging customers for the step-by-step.

Deleting a customer

Deletion removes the profile but keeps order history. See Deleting customers.
This page covers your customers’ personal data. Once it leaves Digital Florists — as an export, an email, or a shared file — how it’s stored, shared, and deleted is down to you and your shop’s own data protection adviser. How we handle data on your behalf is set out in your agreement with us and in our Privacy Notice.

Common questions

Yes. You can search by name, email, or phone number.
Yes. Separate email addresses with a semicolon — for example, jane@example.com;john@example.com. Both addresses receive every email Digital Florists sends to this customer.
Yes. Add a + tag after the name part of the email to create a unique variation. For example, jane+hotel@example.com and jane+office@example.com both deliver to the same inbox but are treated as separate customers in Digital Florists. The format is name+tag@domain.com.
Yes. See Reports for how to download your customer data as a CSV.
