Customer Portal Overview

In this article

The customer portal gives each customer a place to review their quotes and orders, respond to approval requests, find invoices and check shipments. This guide shows what your customers see after opening an order link from your shop.

From an open quote or sales order in YoPrint, click the chain-link icon (Copy order link) beside the order number. Paste the link into a private browser tab to preview what the customer sees, or send it to the customer. Opening the link displays their order in the customer portal.
