What is a Customer Center?

The Customer Center in ClickFunnels serves as a comprehensive platform where customers can effortlessly access and manage various resources. It provides a seamless interface for users to browse and enroll in available courses, download digital assets, and engage with communities they have joined. By centralizing these functions, the Customer Center enhances the user experience by offering a single, easy-to-navigate location for all relevant content and resources.

Benefits of Customer Center:

  • Centralized Resource Access: Customers can find and access all their purchased content, including courses and digital downloads, communities in one place.
  • Enhanced User Engagement: By providing easy access to all available resources, the Customer Center encourages users to engage more deeply with the content.
  • Efficient Account Management: Customers can also manage their account settings through the “My Account” section, ensuring their information is always up-to-date.

Example:

Consider a fitness coach who offers five different online courses. When a customer subscribes to one of these courses, they gain access to the Customer Center. Here, they can view and enroll in additional available courses, download digital assets related to their subscriptions, interact in communities and manage their account details. For instance, they can update their billing information, address, and payment methods by navigating to the “My Account” section.

This not only enhances the customer experience by providing them with a comprehensive and user-friendly portal but also reduces the administrative burden on the coach, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality content and services.

How to Set Up and Manage Customer Center

Setting up the Customer Center involves configuring various settings to ensure it meets your business needs. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Name: Customize the public name of your Customer Center to reflect your brand. The “Name” appears in “My Account”.
  2. Logo: Upload a logo for the Customer Center. Alternatively, workspace site logo will be used as default in the customer center navigation.
  3. Brand Color: Select a brand color that will be consistently reflected across the sign-in screen, community, and courses pages within the Customer Center.

  4. Customer Self-Service: Configure what information customers can manage within “My Account” in the Customer Center. Options include:

    • Order History: Displays a record of past purchases made by your customer within a specified timeframe.
    • Billing Information (email and billing address): Shows the email address and billing address associated with your customer’s account.
    • Payment Method: Allows customers to add, edit, or remove payment methods associated with their accounts.
    • Subscription: Provides options for users to modify subscription plans, terminate their subscription, or temporarily suspend their subscription without canceling it entirely.
    • Course Enrollments: Shows a customer’s registration or enrollment in specific courses or educational programs.
    • Credit Memos: Displays credits issued to a customer, indicating a credit owed for returned or undelivered goods.
  5. Custom “Theme” Dashboard: Enable this feature to use a dashboard that matches your site’s theme, ensuring a consistent look and feel. Toggle this feature off if you prefer to use the system’s default Customer Center dashboard. Customizing the Customer Center in the page editor is not necessary if you use the system’s default dashboard.

  6. Single Sign-On (SSO): Single Sign-On allows your developers to automatically log in to your contacts from another application using a JWT key. This is an advanced feature and may require consultation with a qualified developer.

After configuring these settings, click Update Customer Center to apply the changes.

Using the Dynamic Customer Center Default Page

The Customer Center dynamically displays content based on the user’s access permissions, ensuring that customers are presented with the most relevant content upon logging in:

  • Customers with access to the Community will see the Community page as the default view.
  • If a customer does not have access to the Community but does have access to Courses, the Courses page will appear first.
  • When customers have access to both Community and Courses, the Community page will load by default.

To enable this dynamic display, ensure that the “Custom “Theme” Dashboard” feature is toggled off in the “Customer Center” settings. The system will then automatically determine which page is most appropriate to show based on each customer’s permissions.

How to Customize Customer Center in the Editor

Customize Customer Center

ClickFunnels allows you to customize the customer center dashboard using the page editor. You can adjust the layout, colors, and other design elements to match your brand’s identity. The Customize button opens the editor, enabling you to make changes to the design and layout of the Customer Center to align with your brand.

  • The Customize button only appears when you toggle on Custom “Theme” Dashboard option.

  • We recommend using the default theme provided by ClickFunnels rather than customizing the Customer Center unless absolutely necessary. The default design and template utilize dynamic content across the Customer Center interface, some of which may not be fully accessible or functional. You should toggle off the Custom “Theme” Dashboard option to ensure full compatibility with the default dynamic content.

  • If you enable the Custom “Theme” Dashboard option in the customer settings, you can customize the Customer Center in the editor. If this feature is toggled off, you can skip customizing, and the system will use the default community-focused dashboard.

For a comprehensive guide on customization, refer to our separate article How to Customize Customer Center in the Page Editor.
