At the moment, it is unclear when a customer is valued as an “existing customer”.
An “existing customer” = has already booked and has a checkout history.
But in many cases: only a customer file = “existing customer”.
When moving from old software to Optios, salons often have existing customers who have not yet had checkout transactions, or only a profile, and are treated as “new customers” with all the associated limitations—e.g. when booking online.
This leads to frustration, duplication of work and unintended restrictions for customers.
