The Merge Flow empowers merchants to seamlessly manage multiple registration and update sources, providing enhanced control over user merging.
Common Use Cases:
- A user is registered from two sources with different unique identifiers, such as a phone number and an email address, resulting in an error when attempting to update their details.
- A user is registered as an email subscriber and also as a member with a phone number, resulting in an error when attempting to update their details.
For example, if a member registers through a Wi-Fi integration using only their email and later registers at the POS with a phone number, the system flags the duplicate identifier when the user updates their details in the customer portal. The system then verifies the user via 2FA on the existing identifier. Once verified, the Merge Flow combines the profiles into a single user, migrates all associated assets, and ensures that any updated member details are transferred to the merged profile, keeping the most recent information intact for a seamless and cohesive experience.
Note: The new Merge Flow is available exclusively in the customer portal with full registration mode enabled.
