How does it work?
Each active and inactive customer that has been added can be viewed in the table. The status heading will display their status. This depends on whether they have a live-running mandate. You can also see the customer's name, email and the creation date for each customer on the table.

The "Add new" button allows new customers to sign a mandate, enabling you to collect payments from them. | After selecting 'Delete customer', you will have to confirm the deletion. If you proceed, the customer will be permanently removed from the system and will have to be re-added in the future. | The view page displays an overview of customer details, including Name, Email, and Address, which can be edited from the view page. |
On this page, you can easily view the bank accounts and mandates of any customer. If you need to make changes to any active mandates, simply expand the field and edit or cancel them as needed.
Additionally, you have the option to create new one-off payments or subscriptions. When you choose this option, you will be redirected to the Take a payment page with the direct debit option pre-selected.
