## How it works

Customers combines a buyer's identity, payment history, saved methods, mandates and subscriptions. Account-wide and shop-scoped roles may see different subsets.

## Implementation

Open the record to review details and activity. Saved methods require buyer consent and may be used by future payments or card renewals. Removing a method changes future payment options; deleting a customer affects personal data and references. Give the buyer a portal link only through the supported workflow. An export may cover only the current page, so check its actual range.
