Customer portal overview, what your customers get
The complete customer portal: bookings, profile, loyalty, packages, vouchers, push notifications
Customer portal overview
The Customer Portal is your customer's own little Bookinda area. Once logged in, they can view and manage their bookings, profile, loyalty points, packages, vouchers. It's the "customer app" for your salon without you having to build one.
URL and login
The portal is connected to your salon's booking page:
- yourname.bookinda.hu/myaccount: portal home
- Customer can sign in with:
- Email + password
- Google sign-in (one click)
After login, the customer sees their profile and everything tied to them.
What the customer gets
The portal has ten main sections, available in a sidebar or mobile menu:
1. Overview / Appointments
Upcoming bookings list, with "Cancel" and "Reschedule" buttons. Past bookings show too, with "Book again" link.
2. Book
New appointment directly from the portal. Same flow as public page, customer details auto-filled.
3. Profile
Edit personal info: name, phone, birthday, gender, address. Password change. Marketing and notification preferences.
4. Loyalty

5. Packages
Active and expired packages, usage count, remaining sessions.
6. Memberships
Active memberships (monthly/annual subscriptions) and status.
7. Gift vouchers
Owned vouchers, balance and history.
8. Store credit
Customer's store-credit balance and transaction history.
9. Group class passes

Manager-side configuration
You can customize the portal under Settings → Whitelabel:
- Portal primary color: the customer-facing app's color
- Portal logo: your salon logo
- Matches the booking page brand (email templates, fonts, etc.)
Portal runs on every salon by default. If you don't want customers to use it, remove portal links from customer emails (support can help).

"VIP wants to switch to Google sign-in"
Login → "Sign in with Google". Account access, no password headaches.
"New customer checks the loyalty program"
After login, Loyalty tab. Sees: "Bronze member, 750/1000 points to Silver." Motivated to book.
"Package owner checks remaining sessions"
Login → Packages tab → "5x manicure, 3/5 used." Knows how many sessions left.
Tips
- Portal is self-service: customers manage their own data and preferences, cuts reception load.
- Push notifications require opt-in: you can't push if the customer didn't enable. Highlight the value in the portal.
- Google sign-in is fastest: 1 click, no password forgetfulness. Encourage customers to use it.
- Match brand colors: booking page and portal should look consistent.
- At new-customer registration, offer account creation: in the booking confirmation email include a "Create account" CTA so the customer can use the portal.
