The scroll bar

The scroll bar appears to the left of the screen in your Purchases tab and is a scrollable library of all the customer purchases.

It is sorted in order of the most recent purchases, so your newest purchases are always located at the top. From the scroll tab, you’ll see the customer name, tickets or equipment purchases, the dollar amount of the purchases, and the date of their experience.

If you click on the purchase from the scroll tab, it will bring up the entire purchase to the right.

Searching for Purchases

Your purchases are searchable by customer name, email, phone, tag, or ID.

When your customers or when you make their purchase in the back office, you collect their name, email, and phone. Typing in any one of those three items will pull up their purchase.

Tags, or small notes added to purchases, allow you to filter purchases for commonalities. Tags are either automatically generated by Xola or you can add your own tags to purchase after it is made. 

Note: Your Partner name and code will always be added as a tag on each booking you make.

Tag a Purchase 

In Xola a tag is a word or phrase added to a purchase that can be used for searching and filtering in the Purchases tab. When you type the tag into the search bar, it will bring up all purchases that have been tagged as such. A tag may be auto-generated by Xola or added in manually after a purchase has been made.

Auto-generated tags: 

Xola auto-generates tags for purchases in the following circumstances:

  • A Partner code is used (“Partner” + Partner code)
  • Gift Certificate or Coupon code is redeemed (“Gift” + gift code)
  • A purchase is made on a mobile device (“Mobile”)
  • A purchase is made through Purchase Now buttons on a third-party website (URL of the website)
Adding a tag to a purchase: 
  1. Navigate to the Purchases tab and search for the customer purchase.
  2. In the Add tag field, type in your tag.
  3. Hit your keyboard's Enter key to finish tagging.

 

The Timeline tab

The Timeline is a history of every single transaction and modification that's ever been made on a purchase. This gives you complete transparency into all the changes that have been made to customer purchases, from the initial point of sale to post-trip! 

Transactions (charges and refunds) and modifications (arrival, guest count, add-ons, experience swaps) are recorded in the Timeline. Each record contains a timestamp as well as the name of the Xola user who made the change, making it easy to know who did what and when.
