Customer Card Details by Tab
The Customer Card contains all customer information in one place. Navigate through the card by a series of tabs.

| Addresses | Add or edit addresses from this tab. Each customer will have a default billing and shipping address. Addresses added to this tab will appear anywhere the customer card is accessed, and are visible to the customer in the My Account section of the website online. |
| Credit Cards | View existing credit card tokens and add a new card on file. Credit cards are safely stored as tokens in the vault directly with the payment gateway, OpenEdge. Once a card is tokenized, it's visible in eCellar by displaying the card’s last four digits and expiration date. |

Notes added to the customer card are searchable using customer search. Each note is automatically date/time and user stamped when it's created. Notes can also be added by way of bulk modifying a set of customer records. |
| Tags | A way of adding a unique identifier to the customer record, such as a particular shipping preference, favorite wines, vip or any other tag created.

Also Found on the General Tab
| Account Status: Active vs. Inactive This setting allows the account to be marked as Active or Inactive. A customer is rarely deleted from the database but can be marked Inactive so they don’t appear in search results. When searching for customers the default is to look for Active accounts. |
| Online Access: Enabled vs. Disabled This setting will enable or disable a customer’s ability to access their online account. |
| Allocation Tier (If applicable) Used in conjunction with the Allocation Module, this setting selects a customer’s allocation level. Customized purchase offerings are available in the Allocation Event based on their Allocation level. |

An Important Note about Credit Cards
eCellar does not store Credit Card data. The Credit Card tab displays the cardholder name, last four digits of the card plus the expiry date; however, this is display only. When a credit card is added to a customer record it is tokenized by the payment gateway, OpenEdge. This token represents the credit card and is stored in the winery’s vault within OpenEdge. If a credit card needs to be updated, the entire card number and expiry date must be re-entered in order to update the token. A credit card can be updated by the customer if they have access to their online account. Or it can be updated in the ACP directly in the customer card or when processing a saved order with a new card. Any updates to the credit card will be saved to the customer card.
