Detailed Setup Guide
1. Enable and Configure the Communication Preferences Tab
There are several configurable text components on the Communications Preferences Tab. To configure these components:
Go to Configuration > Customer Settings and scroll down to Additional Customer Settings. The last three fields are pertinent to the Communications Preferences Tab. Complete them as follows:
Hide ‘Communication Preferences’ tab: This checkbox is unchecked by default (meaning that the Communication Preferences Tab will display by default on the My Account page). Checking this box will keep the Communication Preferences Tab from being visible on the My Account page.
URL to manage the Communication Preferences: This field enables redirection to a third-party site if your resort utilizes a third party to manage guest communication preferences. The logged-in customer’s email will be passed into the third-party site as a parameter when they click “Manage Preferences.”
The body of the URL is provided by the third-party partner, and we append "/?email={email}" to add the functionality of passing the logged-in user’s email address. Example URL: https://www.myresort.com./shop-email-preferences/?email={email}
...
Ensure that the Communications Preferences Page has been enabled (see instructions above in Configure Communication Preferences Tab).
Ensure that the Opt Out of Marketing email checkbox has been disabled (see instructions above in the Settings section called Show/Hide Opt Out of Marketing Emails Checkbox).
Go to Settings > Customer Settings and enter the following:
