Two small portal features that do most of the work of keeping a customer coming back.

Wishlists

A portal customer can save a style to their wishlist from the shop, and remove it later. The list is per portal user, newest first, and shows the style's brand and colourways. One person's wishlist is not visible to their colleagues on the same account.

It saves styles, not specific SKUs, so it is a "we like this garment" list rather than a saved basket.

Reorders

On any past order in the portal, reorder clones it: same customer, same contact, same lines with their quantities, prices and decoration specs. The new order lands in the Artwork stage with a due date 14 days out and an internal note recording which order it came from. The activity feed records it as a portal reorder.

Two things to check on every reorder

A reorder is a real order, not a quote, so it appears on your production board straight away. Review it before it gets worked.

Who can reorder

Only from an order belonging to the signed-in customer's own organisation. A reorder request against anyone else's order is rejected outright.
