How to update the customer's accepts marketing preference
When a new customer makes a purchase in-store, the staff member will ask if they would like to create a store account. It is very important that during this process, the staff member asks the customer if they want to receive marketing sent via email and SMS.
By default, customers do not accept marketing, they need to opt-in to be able to receive marketing sent via Marsello.
6. Click the Show Rewards button to open the customer's loyalty & marketing profile
7. Update the accepts marketing setting:
- If the customer accepts marketing via email and SMS:
The staff member will switch the Accept Marketing? toggle to Yes.
- If the customer does not accept marketing:
The staff member will ensure the Accepts Marketing toggle is set to No
By default, the customer does not accept marketing, so there is nothing additional that the staff member needs to do.
8. Click Return to sale
The customer will be automatically added/updated to your Marsello database and will not be eligible to receive email and SMS marketing from your store.
9. Complete the sale
The customer will be automatically added to your Marsello customer database, including their details, accepts marketing preferences, and sales data.
