# Find a customer

> Search for a customer in Members, read their tabs, and block, delete or adjust their balance when you need to.

This page shows how to find a customer in **Members** and what each of their tabs tells you. It also shows how to block or delete a customer and how to adjust their balance. You need access to **Members** to see it in the menu.

## Search for the customer

**Members** calls customers *members*, so you'll see **Member ID** and **Search for member** on screen. They mean the same thing.

1. Go to **Member management** → **Members**. The page that opens is called **Membership**.
2. Under **Search by**, pick the kind of value you'll type, such as **Email** for an email address. The list can include **Member ID**, **Email**, **Phone**, **Personal ID** and **LoyaltyCardId**, depending on how your portal is set up. The portal remembers your last choice.
3. Type the whole value in the search field. The search only finds an exact match, so part of an email address or phone number finds nothing.
4. Select **Search**.

If one customer matches, their page opens straight away. If more than one matches, you get a list. Select the customer you want. If nobody matches, you see *No result.*

**10 last searches**, under the search, lists the last 10 customers your own searches found. Nobody else sees your list. Names, phone numbers and email addresses are partly hidden. To see them in full, select the eye icon next to **10 last searches**. Select a row to open that customer.

Below, 10 last searches with its eye icon shows its top row: the customer's name, phone and email partly hidden, and member ID 344067. The image ends below that row.](https://mintcdn.com/lobyco-4c9fb3ad/rG971_5ZfS49bcjM/images/audiences-45-membership-search-by.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=rG971_5ZfS49bcjM\&q=85\&s=6cd6838cbd48986bb6a2b18a03ca599a)

*The Membership page, with Search by open*

## Read the top of the customer's page

The top of the page shows the customer's member ID and name. The ID is green when the membership is active and red when it's blocked.

You might also see one of these labels next to the name:

| Label | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Employee** | The customer works for your organisation. |
| **Blocked** | The membership is blocked. [Block or unblock a customer](#block-or-unblock-a-customer) says what that stops. |
| **Deleted** | The customer has been deleted. [Delete a customer](#delete-a-customer) says what that removes. |

Below the name are the customer's tabs. They are **Overview**, **Credit statements**, **Receipts**, **Coupons**, **Games** and **App payments**. A tab only shows if your portal has that part set up. For example, there's no **Games** tab without games.

To look up someone else without going back, select the magnifying glass at the top right of the page. **Search for member** opens, with the same search and your last searches.

Below them, the tabs Overview, Credit statements, Receipts, Coupons, Games and App payments, with Overview selected, and a magnifying glass at the far right. Member info lists first and last name, gender, email, phone, date of birth, age, country, region, city and ZIP code on the left, and address lines, local cooperatives, selected store, join date, loyalty program tier, nationality, metadata, deceased, home telephone, membership fee paid and last transaction on the right, with Edit at the top.

*A customer's Overview tab*

## Check their details on Overview

**Overview** is the first tab. It's a set of panels, and a panel only shows if your portal has that part set up.

| Panel | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Member info** | Name, contact details, date of birth, address, **Selected store**, **Join date** and **Last transaction**. |
| **Agreements** | The consents the customer has given, with the version and the date. |
| **Accounts** | Each bonus account, with its **Status**, **Available balance** and **Reserved balance**. |
| **Credit cards** | Payment cards the customer has added, with the card number partly hidden. |
| **Loyalty cards** | The customer's loyalty cards and whether each is active. |
| **Change logs** | Changes made to the membership, and notes your colleagues added. |

If your organisation sends Lobyco its own customer data, a **Custom Properties** section shows it at the bottom of **Member info**. These are the same attributes you can use under **Membership - Custom** in [Segment attributes](/business-documentation/audiences-and-data/segment-attributes). New values can take up to a day to reach segments.

Some portals also have a **Linked members** panel, which lists customers linked to this one.

## Check their other tabs

| Tab | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Credit statements** | Each account's **Available balance**, **Reserved balance** and **Expiring balance**. Below them is the statement for the account you select, with one row for each amount added or taken away. Select the arrow at the end of a row to see more of it. To change a balance, see [Adjust a customer's balance](#adjust-a-customer’s-balance). |
| **Receipts** | The customer's purchases. Select a receipt to see what was on it. |
| **Coupons** | The customer's coupons, and whether they've activated and redeemed them. Select a row to open the offer the coupon comes from. |
| **Games** | Every game the customer played, with one row for each attempt. A row shows the game's name, its **Start date** and **End date**, and when the customer started and finished the attempt, under **Started at** and **Finished at**. **Finished at** is empty until they finish. A row also shows the **Win status**, the **Reward** and the **Reward selected date**. **Win status** is **Won**, **Lost** or **Not finished**. Select a row to open the game. For every customer's attempts on one game, see [Activity statistics](/business-documentation/measure/activity-statistics#game-statistics). |
| **App payments** | Payments the customer made in the app. |

**Receipts**, **Coupons** and **Games** start with the last month. To see other dates, change **Start date** and **End date** on **Receipts**, **Valid from** and **Valid to** on **Coupons**, or **Started at** and **Finished at** on **Games**. On **Receipts**, leave **Start date** empty to go back to the customer's first purchase. On **Coupons**, a range of a few months loads faster than a longer one.

On **Receipts**, select **Show more** at the bottom to load more receipts. **Export** on **Credit statements** and **Receipts** downloads the list. On **Receipts**, you choose the columns, and you get a .csv file.

**Credit statements**, **Coupons**, **Games** and **App payments** also have filters, such as a type or a status, to narrow the list. On **Coupons**, the filters sit at the top of the columns. On **Games**, you can filter by **Game name** and **Win status**.

[Why isn't a customer's coupon working?](/business-documentation/activities/offers/why-isnt-a-customers-coupon-working) explains every column on **Coupons**, and how to work out why a coupon didn't apply.

## Block or unblock a customer

Block a membership to stop a customer using it, for example while you look into misuse. A blocked customer is signed out of the app on every device. They can't pay with the membership, earn bonus or use bonus until you unblock them.

1. Open the customer.
2. Select **…** next to their name and choose **Block membership**.
3. Under **Add reason to block this member**, say why you're blocking it. You can't block without a reason.
4. Select **Block**.

The member ID turns red, and the **Blocked** label shows next to the name.

To unblock, select **…** again and choose **Unblock membership**. Give a reason under **Add reason to unblock this member**, then select **Unblock**. The customer can use their membership again once they sign back in.

![A customer's page, with the member ID 344067 and the name John Doe at the top left. At the top right, the … button is selected and its menu is open, with Block membership and Delete. The Overview tab with Member info is below.](https://mintcdn.com/lobyco-4c9fb3ad/rG971_5ZfS49bcjM/images/audiences-48-customer-menu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=rG971_5ZfS49bcjM\&q=85\&s=6b17ef5332a0da172eaadc3dd734ebdc)

## Delete a customer

Delete a customer when they ask to have their data removed. Only admin users with full access to **Members** can delete.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Deleting a customer can't be undone.

1. Open the customer.
2. Select **…** next to their name and choose **Delete**.
3. Under **Add reason to delete this member**, say why. You can't delete without a reason.
4. Select **Delete**.

The **Deleted** label shows next to the name.

Lobyco replaces the customer's personal details with anonymous ones. Their loyalty cards, change logs, links to other members and household memberships are removed. Their bonus accounts and statements stay.

The customer is also signed out of the app on every device, and their app login is closed, so they can't sign in with it again.

You can still open a deleted customer by searching for their **Member ID**. Searching by their old email address or phone number finds nothing.

## Adjust a customer's balance

Adjust a balance to add bonus a customer should have got, or to take back bonus they got by mistake. **Adjust balance** only shows on an active account, and only if your admin user is allowed to change balances. To get that permission, ask whoever manages admin user access in your organisation.

1. Open the customer and go to **Credit statements**.
2. Under **Account details**, select **Adjust balance**. The dialog shows the account's **Current balance**.
3. Fill in the fields.

| Field | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Chains** or **Stores** | The chain or the store the adjustment is for. Pick one, not both. |
| **Receipt ID** | Optional. The purchase the adjustment is about, if there is one. |
| **Add to account** or **Remove from account** | Whether you add to the balance or take some away. |
| **Amount** | How much to add or take away. It must be more than 0. You can't take away more than the current balance. |
| **Description** | Why you're adjusting the balance. |
| **Sponsor** | Optional. Who pays for the adjustment. It only shows if your portal has sponsors set up. |
| **Transaction type** | The kind of adjustment. The list depends on how your portal is set up. |

4. Select **Continue**. The fields lock so you can check them. To change something, select **Go back**.
5. Select **Approve**.

You see *Balance was adjusted*. Select **OK**. The change shows in the account's statement.

You can't undo an adjustment. To correct one, make another adjustment the other way.

![The Adjust balance dialog, open over a customer's Credit statements tab. Current balance reads 0,00 EUR. Below it, Chains and Stores sit side by side with OR between them, and the hint Choose either chains or stores, but not both simultaneously. Then Receipt ID, the choices Add to account and Remove from account, both unselected, Amount, Description, Sponsor and Transaction type, all empty. Cancel and a greyed-out Continue are at the bottom.](https://mintcdn.com/lobyco-4c9fb3ad/rG971_5ZfS49bcjM/images/audiences-49-adjust-balance-dialog.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=rG971_5ZfS49bcjM\&q=85\&s=f58397a2f36e908f9116082e56368c1a)

## Troubleshooting

> **Why can't I see Members in the menu?**
>
> **Members** only shows for admin users who have access to it. Ask whoever manages admin user access in your organisation.

> **Why does it say I don't have the required permissions?**
>
> Your access is limited to some customers, for example those of your own stores. The customer you searched for isn't one of them.

> **Why is there no … next to the customer's name?**
>
> The menu doesn't show for a deleted customer. It also doesn't show if your portal isn't set up to block customers from **Members**.
