v2 Portal Organization & Structure

The v2 Portal is organized into Views, Cards, Components, and Elements.

Views are like "pages" where the first page, the Summary View, gives the subscriber a quick summary of their Scheduled Order(s), and the second page, the Details view, gives the subscriber the ability to make changes to a specific part of their Scheduled Order. For example, from the Summary View, a subscriber can see that their Scheduled Order is paused, and use a single action to resume it, cancel it, or process it immediately.

Cards organize each Scheduled Order in a Summary View. Cards can be collapsed and expanded to accommodate different types of Autoship or Subscription businesses. For example, a single B2B Autoship customer may have 3 or 4 Scheduled Orders and prefer to collapse their Scheduled Orders into a more condensed view, but a D2C Subscriber may only have 1 Scheduled Order and an expanded summary is more helpful.

Components organize the types of changes that can be made to each Scheduled Order and can be thought of as "features". Components show a subscriber information and actions about each feature and are generally accessed by selecting a link or button from any View. For example, when a subscriber selects a link to change their payment method, they are shown the "Update Payment Component" that enables them to make that type of change to their Scheduled Order.

Elements are the specific properties that make up each Component. Elements can be titles, labels, forms, buttons, messages, and more. For example, the Items Component contains elements like "Item Image Thumbnail" and "Add Product Action Button".

Summary View

The Summary View is the first view that a subscriber sees when they log into My Account and view their Scheduled Order. This view displays a condensed view of all Scheduled Orders that belong to a subscriber and, when a subscriber has only a single Scheduled Order, an expanded view of the Summary Card (see below) so that a subscriber can see important details about their Scheduled Order at a glance.

Summary Cards

Helps subscribers see the status of their Scheduled Order, make quick changes to upcoming orders, and easily resolve issues that will recover a failed or paused Scheduled Order.

The Summary Card displays a condensed view of a Scheduled Order and provides customers with quick actions and messages based on the Status of the Scheduled Order.

Important things to know about the Summary Card:

  • When a subscriber only has 1 Scheduled Order, the Summary Card is displayed uncollapsed showing messaging and quick actions.
  • When a subscriber has 2 or more Scheduled Orders, each Summary Card is displayed collapsed and is ordered by Status and then in descending order starting with the oldest Next Occurrence date and ending with the most recent Next Occurrence Date:
    • Statuses in descending order: Processing, Failed, Paused, Active, Deleted (aka “Canceled”)
  • The Status of the Scheduled Order determines the quick actions and messages that are displayed. For example, a Paused Status shows the customer a message about when their order was scheduled to process and displays quick actions to resume, make changes, or cancel their Scheduled Order.

Detailed View

The Detailed View displays all of the information about a single Scheduled Order. It includes messages, links, and action buttons that make it easy for a subscriber to make specific changes to their Scheduled Order.

Each feature of the Detailed View is a “component” which can be displayed as a link or action button or as an entire section.

For example, the “Change Frequency” component is displayed as a link displaying the current frequency (”Every 2 Months”) and, when the link is selected, reveals a Change Frequency form that makes it easy for the subscriber to quickly make their desired change.

Components

Detailed Summary Component

This is the first component displayed in the Detailed View because it helps a subscriber understand what is coming, when it's coming, and where it's being delivered at a glance. The Detailed Summary also helps a subscriber understand the status of their Scheduled Order.

In the case of an active Scheduled Order, the Detailed Summary helps a subscriber know what they can do before their Scheduled Order processes next. In the case of a paused or failed Scheduled Order, the Detailed Summary helps a subscriber understand what they can do to resume their Scheduled Order.
