Identifying Banned Users

When viewing a customer's profile, the following details help you identify that the user is banned:

1. Banner Label: The customer’s name is followed by a label in blue text that reads "(Banned)."

2. Rewards Program Status: On the right-hand side of the customer’s page, the rewards program status (should reflect your business name) will show "Banned."

3. Eligibility to Earn or Redeem: The "Eligible to earn or redeem?" section will show red crossed circle, confirming that the user is not allowed to earn or redeem points. The "Allowed to join?" section also will have a red crossed circle.
